Sugar Bowl Resort Lake Tahoe, now in its 70th season of operation, obviously enjoys a rich history and a storied past. Home to the first chairlift in California and the first gondola in the country, Sugar Bowl has long been referred to as "the grand dame" of Tahoe skiing. Known for impressive terrain and deep powder - over 500" annually, the most in Tahoe - you'll experience 1,500 acres of steeps and cruisers, four picturesque mountain peaks serviced by twelve lifts including three high-speed quads, and three day lodges with spectacular sun decks. Enjoy wonderful indoor/outdoor dining, awesome views of the jutting mountain peaks and legendary barbecues under the California sun on the deck. Another constant at Sugar Bowl is the friendly character of the staff, pleased to be a part of such a great resort and happy to let it show in their daily duties. An attention to the guest experience ensures a memorable visit, with the ultimate motto at Sugar Bowl being "More fun. Less hassle!"
