Sugar Bowl celebrated 70 years on Donner Summit in 2009/2010 and has kept its classic ski atmosphere while providing modern amenities. Guests can access the resort through two portals: a quick ride on the historic gondola to the snow-bound Village or slope-side parking at the modern Mt Judah Day Lodge.

Inside Knowledge: There is a new Daily CORE Pass available for skiers who do not shred as often as necessary to make up for the annual pass prices.
