Sugar Bowl debuts new Sugar Rush tubing park

Sugar Bowl Ski Resort

Sugar Bowl will debut its new tubing park – dubbed Sugar Rush – on Dec. 17. The new 10-lane tubing center will be located off Judah Road and features a 400-foot magic carpet.

There will be a new parking lot for the center, along with lights, sugary treats to go with the Sugar Rush theme, a kids snow play area and a bar for adults. It will be open weekends and some holidays.

Tree thinning | There’s also been a lot of work on forest health throughout the West Village including removing about 10,000 trees and removing understory brush. The forest work will also provide improved tree skiing.

Limited passes | Sugar Bowl is limiting its season passes sales again for this year. “We pride ourselves on being uncrowded,” Sugar Bowl president & CEO Bridget Legnavsky said at the November Good Morning Truckee event.

Events | Legnavsky also said there will be pop-up bars around the resort, a Music in the Park series and races throughout the season.

New gondola | The historic gondola will be running this season, Legnavsky said, but noted that the resort’s master plan calls for a proposed realignment from Judah entrance with a new gondola sometime in the future.

The Deals | Sugar Bowl offers a number of lift ticket deals to military and veterans, law enforcement officers, EMTs, paramedics, firefighters, and registered front-line nurses working in hospitals or COVID-19 care facilities. | sugarbowl.com
