The Lodge at Sugar Bowl

The Lodge at Sugar Bowl is the main on-mountain accommodation at the Sugar Bowl Ski Resort. This historic hotel was once a getaway for Disney’s rich and famous friends, and now it has been lovingly restored to retain its bygone charm. The Lodge has a variety of hotel rooms to cater for 2-6 guests and many have balconies that overlook the slopes. The bar and the dining/lounge room are beautiful, and the restaurant serves up some upscale mountain cuisine.

Guests of the Lodge have access to Sporthaus next door which has a day spa, fitness center, hot tubs and swimming pool.

The Lodge is completely ski-in ski-out and offers immediate access to beginner slopes and ski school. There’s no road access to the Lodge and you have to catch a gondola there, which adds to the uniqueness of staying in this mountain inn.

Other Sugar Bowl Lodging

Other Sugar Bowl accommodations include some vacation rental homes and condos.

Near the village are Meadows Townhomes that are mostly ski-in ski-out. There are homes near the Nob Hill beginners’ lift, and a little further down are lots of Summit Crossing homesites which are connected to the village via a very mellow slope and a ropetow. There are also some condos located near the Judah Lodge base.

Truckee Lodging

Most people stay in Truckee lodging, 10 miles away.

Truckee is a fantastic ski town and the western oriented downtown strip has various options for dining, après partying, and ski rental shops. The merrymaking scene in Truckee is not a patch on South Lake Tahoe and Stateline and the many cashinos, so it’s well suited to those who want a fairly low key ski vacation (but not as low key as staying on-mountain).

Another advantage of staying in Truckee is that it provides easy access to other nearby ski resorts such as Northstar, Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows.
