Humidity

Fresh snow is on the way at Sugar Bowl Resort, with over two inches expected in the next 24 hours and a significant storm system bringing up to 22 inches in the next five days. With a current snowpack depth of 32 inches—below average for this time of year—the incoming snowfall will be a welcome boost to the mountain. Temperatures overnight hovered around 43°F, keeping conditions a bit on the softer side, but cooler air moving in should help freshen things up.

Excitement is building with Sugar Bowl’s recent unveiling of world-class terrain park builds, offering new features for freestyle skiers and riders. Meanwhile, the resort continues to expand its offerings, including the Sugar Rush Tubing and Snow Play Park, making it a great destination for families. After a record-breaking February snowfall, the mountain is primed for spring skiing, and with more snow on the way, conditions should improve heading into the weekend. Keep an eye on lift operations as recent storms have caused delays at other Tahoe resorts. Get ready to enjoy fresh powder turns and some of the best skiing Sugar Bowl has to offer this season!
