Looking for unique Christmas gifts for ski and snowboard lovers in Lake Tahoe? Sugar Bowl’s Holiday Gift Guide has everything from cozy mountain sweaters to handcrafted snowflake jewelry, perfect for anyone who loves skiing, snowboarding, and the magic of Tahoe.

1. Wildflowers of Sugar Bowl x Skida Hat

Designed from a series of vintage wildflower paintings from the 1940’s that featured the flora of Sugar Bowl, we created this custom floral print brim hat with Skida. This hat is a wonderful, subtle ode to the beautiful mountains we adore. Don this 5-panel hiking up Lincoln in any season and you’re bound to get some compliments!

2. Jewelry Made from Sugar Bowl Snowflakes

Our new line of snowflake jewelry was crafted by Janet at Double Diamond Jewelry from real snowflakes that fell at Sugar Bowl last season. She captured the shape of each flake, then transformed its geometry into handcrafted silver and gold pieces. Every piece is unique, just like the flakes that land on your mittens. A delicate, one-of-a-kind gift for anyone who loves Sugar Bowl.

3. Stickers, Magnets, and more

A new array of Sugar Bowl knick-knacks are available and we can’t stop collecting more! Each sticker, magnet, keychain, and patch was designed intentionally to represent a part of our beloved mountain. Stop by retail to face the nearly impossible decision of picking just a few stickers from our display!

4. Retro Gondola Ornament

Hang a miniature version of Sugar Bowl’s iconic Village Gondola on your tree this holiday season. Created in collaboration with local artists, Steve Nelson and Daniel Smith, this detailed 3D-printed ornament features the classic green gondola cabin we know and love. The Village Gondola has been part of Sugar Bowl’s story since 1958, and this design represents the third iteration of the gondola cabins. With the fourth generation set to debut in spring 2026, this ornament is a nostalgic keepsake for every Sugar Bowl fan.

5. Ski Sweaters and Outerwear

Chic, classy, colorful, and oh so warm – our new sweater collection is hard to beat! Hit the slopes, or après, with style in these mountain inspired sweaters, beanies, goggles, and helmets.

6. A Sugar Bowl 3-Pack

Give the gift of fresh snow and uncrowded terrain! Perfect for first-timers or returning visitors, a 3-Pack gets you skiing or riding on three incredible days in Tahoe’s deepest snow.

7. Passholder beanie

Our 2025/26 passholder beanie is finally here! Featuring all three versions of the Sugar Bowl gondola, this cozy hat is a must-have for anyone who can’t wait to show off their Sugar Bowl pride.
