ALL Sierra Council and Sierra League members are invited to JOIN IN the Fun during next year's Far West Ski Association Ski Week 2011 at one of the most legendary ski resorts in the country, Sun Valley, Idaho, for a week of fabulous skiing, racing and exciting activities.
There are many reasons why you won't want to miss out on this trip. If you have visited Sun Valley previously you will want to return to enjoy the nostalgia. If you have never been there here is a chance to visit a resort that all skiers should ski in their lifetime.
What is so special about this resort? For one it is one of the oldest resorts in the country, established in 1936. It is the home of the world's very first chairlift, a single seater. From its very inception, it was the place of Hollywood superstars and other celebrities. The resort's early days were immortalized in the classic film with its swinging Glenn Miller soundtrack, Sun Valley Serenade.
Dollar mountain, the smaller mountain nearby was where the resort first started. It has over 600 vertical feet rise with six lifts. At 2,054 acres, the size seems modest but it skis much bigger than that. The main mountain is Bald Mountain and its hefty vertical of 3,400 feet skis big with many challenging and cruising runs. Bald Mountain has 14 lifts, including seven high speed quads and the new Roundhouse Gondola. The Challenger Lift alone rises a mind boggling 3,142 feet.
