The Lodge at Sugar Bowl

A beautiful lodge with all the amenities that an old school European lodge should have. Perfectly placed right at the bottom of the lifts. The dining experience was delightful. Chef Abel is top notch. The skiing was world class and the employees were extremely helpful

Sweet old school lodge accessed by a gondola. Take your time and enjoy the views. It's free to ride the gondola if you just want to sit slopeside on the deck and enjoy the sunshine.

Great weekend getaway on the slopes, and super convenient hotel at the base of the Disney Chair. A little tricky since you have to take the gondola to get to the hotel, so that means planning/packing well since you can't really just run to the car - but the gondola does run 24/7, in case you forgot something. Plus they have bell hop service that helps you load your stuff, if you need the help. The staff at the hotel is super nice and accommodating, we ate at the lobby bar/restaurant, brought food for my picky kids and they were very nice letting us eat there.

Hotel is older but very quaint, small rooms, but just enough space for getting rest before your day of skiing. The best part is the Sporthaus club, that has an awesome gym, 2 hot tubs & pool. The only downside is that you have to walk outside to get there, as it's not connected to the hotel, and we were surprised by that ( had to walk in the snow in our swimsuits/shorts). But the new gym, with super nice showers, made it worth the trek, as the locker room is nicer than the showers in the hotel room. We also liked the locker room downstairs for storing your ski stuff, so you don't have to lug it to your room at night. Our room on the north side didn't have a view, since the windows were all covered in snow! But I imagine the Mountain side is much prettier.

My kids had a great time, and can't wait to go back again soon! The boardgames were also a hit with them, while hanging out in the lobby (since the WIFI didn't work in the rooms, only in the lobby).

The lodge at sugar bowl is always nice and clean. Food prices are high but not more so than any other ski resort. We always enjoy our time there.
