Recent cold storms have delivered more than two and a half feet of natural snow to Sugar Bowl, which has been supplemented by continuous snowmaking while temperatures have allowed over the last two weeks, together creating some of the best opening day conditions in the west. “We are thrilled to be opening early again this season with fantastic early season conditions,” stated Greg Dallas, Sugar Bowl president and CEO, “and with more snow in the forecast, we will be looking to open more terrain in coming days.”
Lift Tickets will be sold at the main Gondola Entrance off Donner Pass Road and in Village Tickets; please visit Judah Special Tickets for your Season Pass fulfillments.
