Dear Sugar Bowl Academy Community,

It was another successful weekend for our athletes, with more podium finishes and plenty of top‑ten results. A special thank you to our athletic staff for making it possible to host the Far West U12 Championships under challenging snow conditions. Their efforts behind the scenes allowed for a positive experience for visiting athletes, coaches, and families. Unusual weather continues, forcing Sugar Bowl to close this Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. The plan is to take advantage of the snow forecasted for later this week and end the season at Sugar Bowl on Sunday, April 5. We hope to see as many of you as possible this weekend as we close the season at Sugar Bowl and bid adieu to the Gondola. For parents, thank you for supporting your athletes and making it possible for them to enjoy so many opportunities at Sugar Bowl. We are continually working to offer the best possible experiences, programs, and services for your athletes. Your feedback helps us better understand what we are doing well and where we can improve. Please take a few minutes to complete our end‑of‑season survey. Team rosters for next year are nearly half full, and prices increase on April 12. If you have not done so already, secure your athlete’s spot soon. All school programs are projected to be full, and enrollment contracts are rolling out in batches. When your contract arrives, please complete it as soon as possible. If a school program, including winter term, may be a possibility for your athlete, now is the time to let us know by submitting an inquiry. For students, I know you read this update diligently each week. Since you do, you now know that we will be using our on-snow Monday schedule on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week due to weather conditions. More class time? Yes! You also now know that we will transition back to our off‑snow schedule beginning the week of April 6. Cranking workouts back up? Yes! So proud of what we are accomplishing on the mountain, in the classroom, and in life. Let’s keep it going.

Sincerely,
Stephen
Executive Director

Academics

There are two weeks left in Quarter 3. All students, especially those with extended absences need to meet with their teachers ASAP to make a plan to complete outstanding work and assessments before the end of the quarter. As a reminder, there is limited capacity to turn in missing work after the last day of the quarter on April 10.  

Schoolwide Read: Accountable

Students should have read pages 401-451 for our Monday Homeroom discussion of Accountable. This will be our final section of the book. Last week, faculty led discussions centered around media literacy on the internet and distinguishing between fact and myth.
