Sun Valley opened its 87th season Thanksgiving Day, with top-to-bottom skiing on 28 runs and five lifts on the River Run side of the mountain.
Named the number one ski resort in North America by SKI Magazine for the third year in a row, early natural snow, cold temperatures and top-notch snowmaking, Sun Valley opened with more terrain than any other opening day in over a decade. The Resort will open the Warm Springs area of the mountain today, Wednesday, Nov. 30. River Run Day Lodge and Lookout Lodge were also open for all-day refreshments and refueling and some guests were excited to find a new full BBQ offering at Lookout.
When snow conditions allow, Sun Valley Resort will also open 79 acres of new expert gladed tree skiing terrain thanks to a partnership between the National Forest Foundation, Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Forest Service.
