Mountain biking is another popular pastime, as is fishing and boating in the smooth waters of Donner Lake.
 
Local ski resort Sugar Bowl is the oldest and longest-running independent ski resort in Northern California. Located just off I-80 at 8,383 ft, Sugar Bowl is beloved for its snow levels and easy access from the freeway. Just down the road is Soda Springs, a family-friendly resort perfect for beginners. North America’s largest cross-country ski resort, Royal Gorge, is also located at the Summit and offers six trail systems that cover 6,000 acres of wilderness.
