As home to the first chairlift in California and the first gondola in the nation, Sugar Bowl emits a classic ski atmosphere with all the modern amenities of today’s resorts. The mountain, which consists of four separate peaks – Mt. Judah, Mt. Disney, Mt. Lincoln and Crow's Nest – is nestled near Donner Summit, just ten miles west of Truckee on I-80. Sugar Bowl’s draws are its cozy atmosphere, its state-of-the art chairlift system and the 500+ inches of snow that fall in the area annually. Also check out the Core Rewards Program, which includes discounted lift tickets and points-based perks for free items across the resort.
