Does anyone know, Why Sugar Bowl ski area has a Donald Duck run and Mount Disney?

As a Mineral King questione popped up again it has me wondering. Is there a family or company connection to Sugar Bowl?

There's a Disney Nose run as well. Haven't been to Sugar Bowl in ages, but I remember those runs.

Walt Disney invested $3000 in the original Sugar Bowl construction and got a few things named because of it.

There are a lot of "Disney runs" and the "Disney" chairlift. Though this would be common to name things after the peak.

Do you know why he did this?
