The Lodge at Sugar Bowl is one of the few moderately priced Tahoe accommodations that is ski-in/ski-out. The historic lodge is casual and comfortable – kids of all ages are everywhere! Rooms are quirky and somewhat dated, but the phenomenal, convenient location makes up for any lack of polish. The staff is young, friendly, and available to help guests bring up, store, and take down your ski gear. The inviting lobby lounge is an ideal venue for family games and après-ski fun. Sugar Bowl is one of the best family ski areas in the Lake Tahoe area, open late November through early May.
