 The 'back-side' or south side of Sugarloaf Mountain forms a bowl shape that feeds into a wood landing at the bottom . This is where CVFD and KFD set up camp, build a large fire and make noise to attract lost skiers and snowboarders. Sugarloaf Ski Patrol assists in the search at the top. Incident command, is very cautious about putting rescuers into the bowl of the mountain in search of lost skiers because of the risks involved.
