Description

1940's Sugar Bowl Ski Resort Rope Tows Lift Ticket. Not dated (there are scrapbook remnants on back, could be a date there).  Came out of a late 1940's scrapbook. From Wikipedia:
Because Sugar Bowl had the first chair lift in the Sierras with full lodge accommodations, the resort quickly became a popular skiing destination for many notable guests and Hollywood personalities. Storytelling, dancing on the open deck, and wearing suit jackets to dinner was the norm during this colorful time.Guests such as King Vidor who directed such movies as The Champ, War and Peace and the Kansas sequences in The Wizard of Oz. Other guests included Robert Stack, Norma Shearer, Margaret Sullavan, Jean Arthur, James Bryant Conant, Doris Duke, Claudette Colbert, Lowell Thomas, Leland Hayward, Errol Flynn, Sterling Hayden, Marilyn Monroe, and Walt Disney. Robert Stack, who grew up in Lake Tahoe, could often be found skiing down with Schroll, who could also yodel, was considered a local. Actress Janet Leigh was actually discovered at Sugar Bowl ski resort by actress Norma Shearer. Leigh's father, Fred Morrison, the front desk clerk, had his daughter's photo sitting at the front desk when the actress checked in at the lodge. Shearer took the photo back to Hollywood and MGM soon contacted Leigh to sign a contract. She went on to star in such films as Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 thriller Psycho, The Manchurian Candidate, and the Civil War drama The Romance of Rosy Ridge. Greta Garbo's last film appearance was in the movie Two-Faced Woman filmed at Sugar Bowl in the spring of 1941, along with costars Melvyn Douglas, Constance Bennett, Roland Young, and Ruth Gordon. Sugar Bowl was also featured in the 1941 Disney cartoon The Art of Skiing in which Goofy goes to Sugar Bowl to learn how to ski. Schroll is noted for the yodel that goofy makes in the cartoon known as the Goofy holler.
