Sugar Bowl Resort to open December 7, thanks to new snowfall

Sugar Bowl Resort will open for its 74th season with top-to-bottom skiing and riding on Saturday, December 7 at 9 a.m.

A recent storm dropping 10” new snow, colder snowmaking temperatures and a favorable forecast calling for more snow later this week allowed resort management to announce that the iconic resort atop Donner Summit will open the season with 9 trails and 1,500 vertical feet of skiing and riding off the Nob Hill, Christmas Tree and Mt. Lincoln Express chairlifts.

Access to the resort will be via the Village side, with skiers & riders parking on the highway side and riding the free gondola across to the Village base area. Lift tickets will be $72 for adults, $60 for young adults, $62 for seniors, $22 for super seniors and $20 for children.

CORE Daily Passholders, just $21 to join, will save an additional $10-$15 on their lift ticket, depending on age bracket.

The Mountain Sports Learning Center will be offering the new group Learn to Ski & Ride Development Program only, with morning and afternoon sessions available. Sugar Bowl will then close for skiing and riding midweek, reopening again on Saturday, December 14.
