A Tahoe Ski Resort with History

Sugar Bowl Resort was founded in 1939 by Austrian ski champion Hannes Schroll, with a little help from Walt Disney himself. Together, they created a resort unlike any other—introducing the first chairlift in California and bringing European ski culture to the Sierra Nevada. The Bavarian-style lodges, thrilling terrain, and welcoming vibe quickly made Sugar Bowl a favorite for skiers and riders from near and far.
