Visitor Reviews of Sun Valley


JIM from United States writes:

Sun Valley is into the 3rd week of their 75th season! The majority of the mountain is open 12/11/10. The expected great grooming, short to nonexistant lift lines, superior day lodges and food service are available. With the 75th there are events all season long including reunions of many of the skiers who made Sun Valley famous and vis a versa. Check this place out and join in the celebration.
