Sugar Bowl ski resort in California has been around since 1939.  That’s 75 years.  Not bad.

Last year, they made one of their biggest moves yet by putting in the brand new Crow’s Peak triple chair that provides 1,000-vertical-feet of solid, fall-line, freeride terrain.  Sugar Bowl also has the gnarliest inbounds terrain in California:  The Palisades (see spines in photo above).

It doesn’t hurt at all that Sugar Bowl gets the most snow in Tahoe averaging 500″ per year nor that it’s the closest ski resort to the Bay Area and Sac Town.  Their best asset might be the crowds.  There’s no powder day insanity like some other resorts in Tahoe.  Sugar Bowl enjoys a laid back relaxed vibe that resonates with locals and powder chasers alike.

Right now, Sugar Bowl has season passes on sale from $249 for a mid-week pass to $589 for a full pass and even Sugar Bowl + Royal Gorges passes.  Pass prices will go up after October 31st, 2014.
