For Sugar Bowl Skiers & Riders
Well, my personal crystal ball was telling me Nov 30th would be the day, but I heard a rumor Sugar sent an email out saying the 23rd. Wonder why I didn’t get it? Brief moment of panic while I made sure I renewed my pass last spring, hehe.
This summer sure went quick! Can’t wait to be back at the Bowl.
In celebration of this season’s 488 inches, please join the Unofficial Sugar Bowl Ski Team for our NINTH annual closing day cave party!
Disco Cat, DJ Foxy and special guests 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 28th
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.
Just time for a quick recap … the big one (ten and half feet! but super windpacked), first spring, return of winter with a series of decent pow days, and second spring is just around the corner.
Yup, the Palisades reopened for the second time this season… and the second season in a row! And I’m not talking about some Other Resort, we had our Palisades long before those fools.
Yup, the beginning of March has brought with it a proper Tahoe storm, the kind measured in feet. Looks like blizzard conditions might quiet down a little Sunday and allow us to get out there and play? I’ll be there with my pow tails on.
Wow. What a great powder day! Not totally bottomless, but more than enough. I wasn’t complaining about the occasional scratchy sound from my tails.
Not sure why no one showed up. Even for the Bowl, it was empty. And half of the regulars never made it to Crow’s… open weekdays this season! I found an orange circle that said “Powder shot” and it was all mine. 🙂
Woo! The best park at Sugar is now open!
Beacon park is located at the bottom of Overland. You need a beacon to play. 😉
It’s been a minute since Sugar opened with just a thin white road or two off Jerome. Someone on the chair said 2017.. sounds right? In any case, I was super happy to make any turns at all. Reese met some friends to play with, the sun came out in the afternoon, it’s great to be back on snow.
Hoping for something in the forecast soon…
In which the Unofficial Sugar Bowl Ski Team visits those Other Mountains, sporting our helmet ears and rocking beats.
I’m pretty sure we ran into the other team Unoff at Sherwood last week, we definitely made turns and traded stickers with Team Tie Dye, and I was super thrilled to run into all you Sugar peeps out there too!
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!

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