Dear Sugar Bowl Academy Community,

As we look ahead to the coming week, the weather forecast is tough to read.  No natural snow and no snowmaking conditions.  As we always do, we will make the best of what we have, just like our dorm students did last week.  Power outage, minimal snow, shovels, a rail, my old iPhone, and they made it fun.  Students, you will be skiing and riding this week, see the This Week section below.  Team athletes, we are going to have a light start to our season on Saturday, see the Athletics section below.  Lack of snow versus grit, grace, and courage?  We’ll take the latter and keep Sugar Bowl the best place to do what we do.

Sincerely,
Stephen
Executive Director
