Sugar Bowl opens at Mountain High, sweet!

Sugar Bowl is now open at Mountain High Ski Resort in Wrightwood. Boarders will find 80 new acres to the West of Inferno Ridge with wide open powder fields. The area provides a fun way to access Easy Street and the back of the Bullwheel Bar & Grill.

Skiers will find the entrance to this new area a quarter of the way down Inferno Ridge on the left, roughly across from the top of O2.  The resort says several paths have been groomed so feel free to follow them or make your own tracks. 

Watch out, however, the bottom of Sugar Bowl is marked by a service road that winds back into the resort.  If snowboarders drop below the road, there is no problem.  They'll end up on Highway 2 for a nice little hike back.

Mountain High notes that Sugar Bowl offers a great alternative to traditional trails. It's expected to remain open for the rest of the season thanks the deep snow pack.
