Sugar Bowl Resort - California
Deepest Average Annual Snowfall...
Sugar Bowl has always been famous for its rich history, classic ambiance and superior customer service. While these attributes still ring true, now Sugar Bowl has the modern facilities that make it a complete and first class resort. If you haven't seen Sugar Bowl lately, you haven't seen it at all.
Sitting high atop Donner Summit, Sugar Bowl averages over 500 inches of snowfall each winter. Just in case these snows come a little late, Sugar Bowl continues to improve their snowmaking system to ensure great early season conditions.
