Nicknamed the “Red Devil of Tyrol”, name the famous Austrian who founded Sugar bowl in 1938. Hint: He loved to yodel.
Terrain is OPEN!
No Disney on Thursday as predicted, but we did get it Friday and a ton more. Patrol has been blasting a bunch and we got to reap the rewards. Disney, then the rest of Disney (except Nancy’s and Sugar Bowl). On the Lincoln side, Silver belt, ’58’s and the Sisters. Wow. It’s still bony and early season, but off-piste options have really opened up.
Looks like Judah opens today, maybe J-Bowl and/or Sugar Bowl?
Watch out for leopards!
Pow day Monday!
Easily the busiest I have seen Sugar yet this season, and crowded and claustrophobic for a minute in the pre-opening Jerome line, but everyone spread out pretty quickly after that.
What a pow day! I sure needed that. Not too much new terrain just yet even though there were blasts going off all morning… Klein’s.. and upper Lakeview reopened.
Disney was spinning (not open) in the afternoon. Official unofficial prediction is a Thursday opening. 🙂

Storm skiing!
Well, I sure forgot how tough it can be to ski the storm. New this season: wet mask. Yuck. See you tomorrow for bluebird Monday!
Ready for more snow?
Sugar sure has seen a lot of sunshine lately. This weekend’s snow should bury a few more rocks and level out these deep moguls on Rahlves. Will Disney open?
Opening weekend!
It happened! Springtime conditions in November. Definitely thin and bony out there, but lots of fun to be had. Dreaming of bottomless turns in the eponymous Sugar Bowl, until then, going big in Two-and-a-half Chutes will have to do. 🙂
Ten suns in the forecast today… do your early season snow dances!!

Last-minute Lincoln Loss
Opening day is here! Lincoln was scheduled, but now it is out for the day, leaving us with… Jerome… and Tree? This is going to be a shitshow…
See you there?
Opening this Friday!
Opening day is almost here!! Better not eat too much tofurkey this holiday, because you’re gonna be up bright and early Friday!
Looks like Jerome will be spinning, and Hard Drinkin’ Lincoln too!
Sugar was selling some day tickets, but they’re already gone for opening day and weekend.
Ready to get your Sugar Gnar on, friends? I know I am for sure. See you in five days!

Back again after all this time!
Hi Sugar friends! Hope everyone is healthy and well in these strange times!
Obviously the abrupt end to last season dashed our plans for the fifth annual closing day cave party… and the intervening summer has been one hell of a ride.
Well, never fear, the Unofficial Sugar Bowl Ski Team is here, waxing our gear and watching the weather. Opening day is just around the corner.
Stay safe… see you soon!

Happy Tofurkey day… see you tomorrow!
See you for opening day tomorrow! We’ll be bumping tunes and dropping lines. 😉
