For Sugar Bowl Skiers & Riders
A little storm for us this Thursday. Â No snow in town yet, but Sugar Bowl is getting a little dusting.
Sugar bowl sure looks nice with a fresh coat.
Another one still looks on track for Saturday , but it might be a bit too warm. Â Keeping my skis crossed it stays cold enough to snow the whole storm. Â A layer of our good old Sierra cement for a base would be perfect.

Looks like Sugar is serious about their opening date. Â Snowmaking is underway! Â Here’s some pictures from their web cams yesterday afternoon.
For those of you who aren’t satisfied unless its the real deal, it looks like we might be getting a decent storm in the Thursday night to Saturday range. Â Keeping a close eye on this one and thinking positive!
Sugar Bowl has announced an opening date! Â November 26th. Â That’s right, just 15 short days away.
After a sunny week bicycling and worrying over the forecast, I was totally prepared for a December opening like last year, but it seems Sugar is stepping up their game.
See you soon! Â -JS
Our neighbors over at Boreal are open! Â Just their usual early-season mini lift and park, but hey, if I had a comp (or a pass there), I’d gear up and have fun getting out there.
Mt. Rose is open too! Â No lifts yet over there apparently, just a conveyor belt so far, but looks like they’ll have more soon.
The bigger resorts have opening dates announced in time for Thanksgiving. Â Northstar on the 21st and Squawpine on the 26th.
Sugar hasn’t put anything on their website yet. Â December 6th is the best rumor (guess?) I’ve heard so far. Â Since that’s less than 30 days out now, I can officially get Excited. Â Of course it depends a lot on the weather — even blowing fake snow on Trailblazer needs the temperature to cooperate.
Getting my last bicycle miles of 2014 in until then, and hoping to be making turns soon.
