Sun valley is for high level skiers. Not many easy runs. Lots of firm days here. Powder days a spectacular when they happen. Apres is best at the resort. Full bar and pretty reasonable prices.

Sun Valley has the best groomers in Idaho! Although it doesnt get as much snow as other reports out west, it hold a special place in my heart. The apre scene, food, and charming town make up for the lack of powder. I always leave Sun Valley with an epic goggle tan and good memories.

I can confidently say in all my years of skiing, sun Valley is the biggest bang for your buck in the western USA. some of the smallest year round lift lines with some really awesome bowls and side country hits, there's only a few things I'd change. Sun valley gets a decent amount of snow on average, but if we don't get it naturally, by god we'll make it. Best snowmaking in the country. If I could give it 4.75 stars I would, but I just can't give it 5. Just some managerial things but nothing that would keep me from coming back. Best skiing in the area is... actually, I won't tell you that. Come find the deep stuff for yourself. But it's close!
