The Sun Valley Resort Area means skiing Bald Mountain, or “Baldy” to those who know her well. The mountain is accessed by two distinct base areas, River Run and Warm Springs.

Just a beginner (a “never-ever” as they are called), or have young children just starting out? Try the gentle slopes of nearby Dollar Mountain in the Elkhorn of the Sun Valley Resort Area. Reputed to be the “finest teaching mountain in the world” by the locals who pride themselves on their ski and snowboard schools.

Also the Sun Valley Nordic & Snowshoe Center offers a great opportunity to see the surrounding scenery gliding on skinny skis or just taking a walk! A traditional favorite winter activity in Sun Valley is to take the family on a dinner sleigh ride to Trail Creek Cabin.

Don’t forget to catch an ice show at the Sun Valley Lodge; a winter treat for decades; where you can see Olympic class skaters perform at the local level just for fun. Sun Valley Resort is truly a Idaho gem!
