Greetings Friends of ASI!
Skiing with Passion:
We all love to ski! The freedom of movement and expression. The feeling of knowing we are skiing well and making the most out of whatever conditions bring. We love to ski!
If you haven't been Sidecountry with us yet here at Sugar Bowl, you should definitely join us for a day of lift-accessed backcountry skiing. We know you'll love it!
Going Higher & Deeper:
Days are getting a little longer and the angle of the sun a little higher. We love skiing at our winter base at Sugar Bowl, but as the season gains, it's a great time to get out a little farther, go a little deeper, away from the lifts and get some even higher summits to ski:
Sidecountry
Lift accessed backcountry from the BAC at Sugar Bowl. Every Sat, Sun & Holiday. Get a group of 3 or more and make your own mid-week date.

New - Super Sidecountry
 Our Sidecountry alone is so good, it's worth coming back for. Just like a good day of heli-skiing. For our return skiers, we added some new "Super Sidecountry" programs to optimize the great terrain and Sugar Bowl's open boundary policy:
New Routes
We are still skiing new lines off all Four Summits (Judah, Lincoln, Disney and Crows). New Routes is designed to take you to ski new lines still being discovered in this huge area.
