The cozy resort, which celebrated its 70th birthday in 2009, is located three miles off Interstate 80 near the Donner Summit and features steep chutes, open bowls and four striking peaks. For many years Sugar Bowl was also home of the Silver Belt, a precursor to the World Cup. The annual race would often attract the top European and American skiers, who would vie for the title while San Francisco and Hollywood high-rollers watched and often bet on the event.
