I skied Sugar Bowl with my family this past Spring. We had an incredible day on the mountain! It snowed 18 inches the night before and we were up to our knees in powder. The terrain was awesome and we kept saying…this is one of the best days we’ve had all year! There were NO lift lines and the access to the resort from the parking lot was a BREEZE! We will be coming back to Sugar Bowl for sure! Thanks for the memories!
I was really impressed with Sugar Bowls steeps. For such a family friendly resort there was a lot of difficult terrain to explore!
I loved skiing Sugar Bowl last spring. We had 2 feet of snow and finding untracked powder in the last afternoon was still possible. Sugar Bowl has great snow and great terrain!
