Sun Valley was recently ranked #3 in North America for top ski resorts.
With our top of the line snowmaking machines and incredible grooming, Bald Mountain is an Idaho gem that brings visitors from all over the country. Come check out where Olympic Gold Medalist Kaitlyn Farrington and many others learned their skills!
When visiting Sun Valley, one tends to get caught up in the history (it’s No. 2 in Character), especially when taking a leisurely lunch in the 75-year-old Roundhouse Lodge after a morning of 3,400-foot top-to-bottom cruisers on “fabulous fall-line terrain.”
It takes only a little imagination to mentally trade state-of-the-art, liftline-eliminating high- speed lifts (No. 1) for single chairs and direct flights from Seattle, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and now Denver for the Union Pacific railroad, and you’ll understand why the rustic yet refined atmosphere of this secluded Idaho gem has beckoned skiers since 1936.
It starts with the skiing. When it snows, expect epic sunny bowl skiing off the Mayday lift. The rest of the time, immaculate grooming (No. 2) and the country’s best snowmaking system make Bald Mountain—where chasing fresh corduroy has become cultish—a thrilling place to set an edge. —Kevin Luby
