Reviews & Tips (2)
Sugar Bowl is great during a Bluebird Powder day. We wen't today, a Sunday, when it hadn't showed for over a week. The conditions were ok, icy, wind blown, moguls but that's no one's fault. My problem was with the staff and SB Ski Team. The kids were obnoxious, cutting in line, crawling under ropes to get to their friends, crowding the exit ramps, and constantly kicking my board with their skis. I turned around multiple times trying to be nice then, when that didn't work, straight up yelling at them to back off. They still ran into my wife's board right after. The "Instructors" are nothing more than incompetent overpaid baby sitters who have no control over their "students".
The terrain for experts is amazing but the intermediate all loops back to the same two, really flat trails that get boring quick. I was contemplating getting a season pass due to the epic snowfall, but the lack of variety for my wife, the hour drive from Incline Village, and the incompetent or willingly ignorant staff has changed my mind.
