About Us

As members of the National Ski Patrol (NSP), we serve Sugar Bowl Ski Resort, located in Norden, California, about 30 miles Northwest of Lake Tahoe. What makes Sugar Bowl Ski Patrol (SBSP) different from other patrols? We have a challenging mountain, with over 50% of our terrain rated advanced or expert. We are a “Class A” avalanche area with an average annual snowfall average exceeding 450 inches. Whether setting-up the hill before opening to the public, attending to an injured guest, or simply engaging customers in conversation on our beautiful mountain, we strive to provide the best possible experience to every visitor to our resort.

The SBSP has nearly 100 members, both paid and volunteer. For many of us, being a ski patroller has been a lifelong dream come true. Are you up to new challenges? Do you love to ski/snowboard? Does the idea of helping others while engaging in the greatest sport in the world appeal to you? Then consider joining us.
