Frommer's Staff

Sugar Bowl is excellent for skiers of all levels -- especially if you are driving from the Bay Area or Sacramento on I-80 and don't want to go all the way to Tahoe. This medium-size resort (13 lifts, 1,500 skiable acres) offers child-care, ski school, snowboard parks, and lodging at the foot of the mountains.
