Is this the lodge that the gondola runs to?
Yes, this is the only hotel at Sugar Bowl. You park in the parking garage and take the gondola across to the lodge as it is snowbound and you cannot drive up.
Is the Lodge open year round?
Partially, yes. In the summer time the lodge is host to many private functions such as weddings, corporate retreats, and other events. During these events the lodge is closed to the public. There are times that the Lodge is not reserved and is available for the public to come stay. To check availability you can call us at (530) 426-6742 or e-mail us at hotel@sugarbowl.com. We also have properties on the resort that are available for rent all year round. Just give us a call for availability.
What is the best way for me to get a holiday reservation in the lodge?
Your best bet is to call us early and get onto the wait list for the time that you would like to be here. When something opens up we will call you and try to get you in.
How does the wait list work?
For busy weekends and holidays we have a wait list for rooms that may become available. To get on the wait list we need to know when you would like to come up, how many people in your party, and current contact info. We will call people from the top of the wait list down but we will not leave voice messages, we will only offer the room to those who answer the phone calls. If we get through the list without selling the room we will start at the top again.
How does the pre-booking work?
As a guest at The Lodge you are given the opportunity to have first choice on reserving the same room that you stayed in for the next year during the same dates, holiday or weekend. To utilize this privilege you must fill out a Pre-book form and turn it in to the front desk prior to checking out.
Is there an elevator in the lodge and is the lodge ADA compliant?

The lodge was built in 1939 and has only stairs to the 2nd & 3rd floors. For the winter months there is no elevator available.
Can we stay just Friday night or can we stay Saturday and Sunday nights only?
