Since 1939

Independently owned and rooted in the love of sport since 1939. We’ve stayed true to the spirit of adventure, inspired by those who founded this magical place, offering an authentic and unfiltered mountain experience. Here, it’s not about flash or frills, but in honoring our founders: the visionaries who tapped into the timeless vibe of snow-covered peaks, untouched powder, and wide-open runs.

 

With the highest elevation in Tahoe, the first stop from the west, and the shortest lift lines, we bring you closer to the heart of what skiing is meant to be. From the rugged beauty of the landscape to our commitment to a pure skiing experience, this is where memories are made, stories are shared, and the soul of skiing lives on.


Ski Happy.  Ski Sugar Bowl.
