Sugar Bowl
Sugar Bowl presents skiers and snowboarders with four picturesque mountain peaks, classic bowls and 500 inches of featherlight snow per year as fine as pure sugar!
In 1938, Walt Disney was among the visionaries who helped pick this perfect ski resort location near Donner Summit. Since they were the first to choose, they naturally chose the best site in Lake Tahoe. A spot graced with precipitous peaks, steep narrow chutes and wide-open bowls. A spot that receives more snow than almost anywhere in North America.
Sugar Bowl is steeped in racing tradition and perhaps best known for The Silver Belt Classic, a world-class race that attracted Olympic caliber skiers. Silver Belt may still be Sugar Bowl's defining run. This long, nearly halfpipe-shaped run demands a lot of short radius turns and a few hundred feet of vertical courage. |

Celebrity terrain park builder J.P. Martin will be crafting the vision at Sugar Bowl this season in a move that the freeski and ride world is definitely talking about. Following a 10 year stint building hits and perfecting rails in Jackson Hole, J.P. is looking forward to calling Sugar Bowl home �The thing I really like about Sugar Bowl is it has the optimal angle for creating great flow in a logical way.� Indeed, the �flowmaster' will be the best thing to hit the Sugar Bowl Terrain Park since Olympian Jayson Hale hucked it on his way to Torino.
As a 6 year veteran of the international K2 team, JP definitely knows how to build for the big hitters, but his focus is clearly on encouraging access for everyone. �I really like to build parks that make parents want to jump. Anyone can build a hair raising sick hit, but its an art to create a smooth long landing and perfect rollovers. Terrain parks should be safe, fun and consistent. Sugar Bowl has great terrain for me to work with and the attitude to get it all done�. The concept of an �incubator park� - one that is specifically geared to beginners is particularly exciting for Sugar Bowl. |
