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.
