World renowned destination...
Known as the “American
Shangri-La” and
as the nation’s first destination ski
resort, Sun Valley offers
world class downhill skiing and snowboarding
on one of the country’s
largest and best mountains. Sun Valley has
long been recognized for its absence of lift
lines, for its incredibly light and fast snow
and for runs that seem to go on forever. And
with 250 days of Rocky Mountain sunshine a
year, your best days of skiing await you at
Sun Valley.
Outstanding Nordic Skiing...
Besides offering world
class alpine skiing, Sun Valley is home to
some of the most extensive and beautifully
maintained Nordic ski trails in the nation. This
is where the Boulder Mountain Tour, one of
the nation’s pre-eminent
cross country ski races is staged, and where
top athletes from around the world come to
train on our more than 200km of immaculately
groomed trails. Whether you’re an experienced
Nordic skier, a world class athlete looking
for the perfect training area or are simply
interested in trying the sport for the first
time, you can’t choose a better place
than Sun Valley, where you’ll be greeted
every morning by freshly groomed trails, crystal
clear air and unlimited possibilities to explore.
Unique Heli Skiing...
As the birthplace of
United States helicopter skiing, Sun Valley
has a long tradition of flying visitors to
an untouched skier’s
paradise on top of the Rockies. Most of the
skiing takes place in the 7,000 to 10,000 foot
range and there is a variety of terrain and
runs to suit every level of skiing ability,
including 33-degree pitches, 40-degree chutes,
steady 2,000-vertical-foot descents and vast
bowls of flawless corn. But don’t get
the impression that heli-skiing is only for
the super advanced. There are plenty of inviting,
low-angled slopes ideally suited for the first-time
or family heli-ski experience. And with the
new fat ski technology, skiing in deep powder
and ungroomed snow is a breeze.
Backcountry Touring Huts...
One of the special joys
of skiing in Sun Valley’s
backcountry is the network of well-equipped
huts and Mongolian-style yurts that offer a
welcome shelter at day’s end. The huts
and yurts are strategically placed at the doorstep
to some of Idaho’s most spectacular powder
stashes. Skiers can ski from hut to hut (or
yurt) or can use any of them as a base to explore
the surrounding mountains. The huts and yurts
are shared by local guiding companies and are
available for use by skiers on guided tours
as well as for rent by independent skiers. |
