Sun Valley - Community Reviews & Ratings

Gondola board with open runs was not working so no green runs were open due to avalanche risk. The vistas are breathtaking. Important to notegreen runs are more blue and so on compared to many other US resorts (Colorado, Utah, Wyoming, and Montana) so if any beginner skiers are in your party, you may wish to consider a different resort

Sun valley had some nice tree terrain despite the lack of fresh powder. Runs were nicely groomed. But this resort was designed by Austrians so their blue runs can run steeper than normal.Stayed at the Sun valley lodge, which has a very rich white person vibe. The town also has a very exclusive rich white person vibe. So if you're rich and white you'll love it. Food options were on the expensive side and not very varied or good. No good ethnic options except this one Mexican place.Didn't like Sun valley lodge. Stayed on the hotel side and had to walk half a mile for a decent hot tub. Town shuttles are efficient and run on time.

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!

The groomed runs are some of the best you will find. Some of the top Ski racers in the world come from this mountain. The bowls are great on a powder day but without good snowfall the off piste skiing is mediocre. The tree skiing is excellent if you know were to go and if you manage to find some of the good tree runs, you can lap untouched powder for days as the average age at the mountain means most skier stay on groomers. The food is great and everyone who works there is very friendly.

For being a little expensive its a good hill. Allot of terrain and much fun to have. Ive been quite a few times and always find something cool to ride. Has a very beautiful town outside with much to do. Very fun and would recommend for a fun getaway. Although very far from all civilization. Makes the hill more quite.

Skied first there 1965.. Never missed skiing there for many years to follow!!!!and the town of Ketchum fantastic for bars and restaurants!, although do not go in the summers.. youll never want to leave!

Free parking, friendly staff, incredible accommodations, immediate access to the slopes and the Sun always present.

I absolutely LOVE Sun Valley! One of the best ski resorts I have ever been to! That being said, this is no beginner mountain. The terrain is steep and can become slick really quick. Their greens feel more like blues, their blues feel more like blacks, but their blacks truly feel like hard blacks. The ONE problem I have with the resort is the pricing. Oh my goodness, a single day is $200! While I do think that it CAN be worth it if you are skiing non-stop, if you are any sort of beginner or beginner-intermediate I would hesitate to spend that much on a day pass here. If youre able to ski 20+ miles a day, I truly believe that this resort is worth the money. Again, I think it all comes down to your skill level and whether or not youre willing to shell out that cash. For me, Im more than willing to do so!

Great and challenging terrain. Slopes are quiet and lifts run well and well positioned. Lodge food excellent Town is small but has some charm to it. Stunning views

Sun Valley, where do I even begin? From the jaw dropping views at the top to the beautifully crafted lodges scattered all around the mountain, its safe to say that Sun Valley has it all. From the moment you enter the village at the base you know that you have entered somewhere amazing. Sun Valley has been at the top of resort rankings forever and its for a good reason. Not only does Sun Valley have elite level grooming but also has some of the best off piste runs to have an exhilarating adventure with your buddies. You will never get bored here, with over 2,400 acres of diverse terrain and a 3,400 vertical drop there is always a new adventure to have any where you go. Exhausted from all the shredding you did? Take a break in one of Sun Valleys gorgeous lodges and enjoy some of the best food youve ever had. From spectacular French Onion soup to freshly baked cookies Sun Valley has all the food you need to get back out and rip the slopes all at a gourmet level. I give Sun Valley a 10/10 because of how much fun I have everyday I am skiing up there. I have lived here for a decade and still have more terrain to discover on the mountain. So if you want to visit a small ski town but also want a luxury skiing experience, Sun Valley is the place!
