Sugar Bowl can be super sick on powder days and offers terrain for riders of all levels. The high-speed quads on Jerome Hill are great for beginners (and those wanting to hit the pipe and park), while Fuller's Folly, The Palisades, and Strawberry Fields offer some challenging terrain for more experienced riders. Sugar Bowl gets as much or more snow than anywhere on the north shore, and is a great spot for those looking to take a day trip from the Bay Area and Sacramento. Hint: If you want a quick escape from Tahoe during a big storm, get there early, and then head back west and avoid 90% of the highway closures that people face when they try to leave Lake Tahoe after 10 am.

Specials: For season ticket holders - $10 lift tickets for friends (one per day, 10 total).
