Sugar Bowl ski resort offers close proximity

September 27, 2014 By Jeffrey Weidel

The closest Lake Tahoe ski resort on Interstate 80 for anyone traveling east, Sugar Bowl ski resort is good mountain for day trippers from both Sacramento and the Bay Area.

Sugar Bowl says, skiers and snowboarders can get there earlier, ski more, and experience less travel hassle. And it’s tough to argue against those selling points for Sugar Bowl ski resort, which has a long history, dating back to 1939.

Sugar Bowl is the closest Lake Tahoe ski resort to Sacramento.
Sugar Bowl is the closest Lake Tahoe ski resort to Sacramento.

Over the years, numerous catchphrases have been used to describe essentially the same simple truth: located atop Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl offers easy access to and from the mountain, complete with hundreds of free slopeside parking spots, ultimately making for less driving time behind the wheel, and subsequently more skiing and riding out on the slopes.

Skiers and riders appreciate the user-friendly access of Sugar Bowl-Royal Gorge cross country resort, saving not just valuable time, but money as well. Not having to drop all the way into the Tahoe Basin on a busy ski weekend can literally save hours in the car, and quite simply that means hours more enjoying why you hit the hill in the first place – to ski and ride with friends and family while enjoying the great outdoors.

Below is a look at Sugar Bowl’s season pass for the 2014-15 season.
