Sun Valley is not a good place for beginners unless they stay on Dollar Mountain which has only a 650 foot vertical drop. On Bald Mountain, most of the green runs are actually intermediate blue runs. Some of the catwalks are scary because of hairpin turns on speedy downhill paths. The Warm Springs area should be avoided in the morning due to lack of sunlight and the resulting flat lighting. The food is pricey, hot dog is $15, small bowl of soup is $13. I think you get the idea. Last but not least, the resort needs to turn on the snow guns more often. In a week's time I did not see any evidence of manmade snow. The grooming tractor operators must have been on strike the week I was there. The slow zones are not monitored by the ski patrol folks. As a result too many skiers just went as fast as they wanted to, which was disappointing.
