Eighth annual closing day cave party!

In celebration of this season’s historic 792 inches, please join the Unofficial Sugar Bowl Ski Team for our eighth annual closing day cave party!

Disco Cat,  DJ Mister Will and DJ Foxy are scheduled to spin tunes for your earballs.   Wear a costume, bring some nosh & drink or just your fine-ass self.

When:  Closing day, Sunday, April 30th

Where:  Disney cave

Directions: Disney cave is located between Eagle and Avalanche.  Take the spine toward Disney Nose… there will be a sign for Eagle dropping to skier’s left, take it.   Then ski underneath (downhill side) the giant rock on skier’s right.  Alternately, you can take Donald Duck about halfway down and then do a traverse to skier’s right, aiming for the downhill (left) side of the giant rock.

Safety third:  Please do not drop cave line (from the top), go around the side.

Happy Birthday Reese Dawg!

Those of you who park in the upper Judah lot almost certainly have met this sweet black guy.  Well, if you seem him today, give him extra pets, because this handsome man turns 12 today!

The most adorable black lab
The birthday boy!

Shop (like a) local: Donner Summit Avalanche Dogs

Should we talk about Disco running into our new CEO at the Belt Room? Last pow day of the year? The corn harvest?

Nope, not today! Today we’re going to remind you to support our patrol’s Avy Dogs!  Get your merch from patrol at the top of Disney.

Avy Dog merch for sale!
T-shirts and more!

In addition to a bunch of T-shirt designs (my favorite is the black one with the dynamite!), there’s also goggle covers, hats, and buffs with each of our adorable patrol dogs.  Are you on Team Buster, Team Nova or Team Graupel?

So here we are…

(Today’s song pairing: Nightmares on Wax – So here we are)

False spring, sleeper pow days, Palisades reopening (and staying open!), Peak Snow, real spring, Team Unoff representing at the Uphiller &  Banked Slalom (Disco on the same gear for both, hehe)… just wow.

Oh!  And Old 40 reopened yesterday.  I missed you, Old 40!

View from the top of West Palisade on reopening day:

Send-ier than it looks 😉

Just starting to see the top of the trail maps peek out again at Dis and Tree… hard to believe there’s less than two weeks of lift-served skiing left.  Corn harvest is a go!

Closing day cave party will be on Sunday the 30th!
