The 2022-23 winter season is winding down at Sun Valley Resort after an epic season, but not without its annual closing week parties, live music, family activities, and the annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Sun Valley Village. Skiers and riders have two more weekends to enjoy Bald Mountain, with the last day of the season scheduled for Sunday, April 16, this year on the River Run side of the mountain. Traditionally the Resort closes Bald Mountain on Warm Springs slopes, however, with the first phase of its Warm Springs Enhancement Plan kicking into gear, Warm Springs will close Sunday, April 9, followed by River Run on April 16.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat an incredible season we\u2019ve had, with a robust calendar of events and amazing snow,\u201d said Bridget Higgins, Director of Marketing & PR of Sun Valley Resort. \u201cThe team is gearing up for a full summer\u2019s work on Bald Mountain and could not be more excited for what\u2019s to come for our guests with the new lifts in Warm Springs next season.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sun Valley Resort will begin construction to replace and realign the Challenger Chairlift, construct the new Flying Squirrel Chairlift replacement, and extend the Flying Squirrel trail and snowmaking. New gladed terrain, along with Sunrise Expansion and many other areas on the mountain, are the result of the Bald Mountain Stewardship Project, a partnership with land and environmental agencies to improve overall forest health and decrease fire risk on Bald Mountain.<\/span><\/p>\n

Easter weekend will begin with the annual Easter Egg Hunt in the Sun Valley Village on Friday, April 7. With over 8,000 eggs, it is one of the largest and most anticipated events each spring.<\/p>\n

At 5:00pm sharp, the egg hunt opens to kids 10 and under who are grouped into zones based on age, so everyone will have a shot at filling their basket. Before or after the egg hunt, children can snap a photo with the Easter Bunny or head over to The Toy Store for a fun surprise. This event is offered free to the community and guests.<\/p>\n

Avid \u201cclosing day enthusiasts\u201d should rest assured that the much anticipated Baldy Bash will be held Saturday, April 8 at Warm Springs base area with music headliners, The California Honeydrops. This end-of-season street party will also feature live\u00a0 <\/span>music from the Aaron Golay Band, a barbeque, and a bar complete with bubbles from Veuve Clicquot. Party-goers should plan to wear their best retro ski gear to celebrate spring in style. Guests are encouraged to utilize Mountain Rides Blue and Bronze routes.<\/p>\n

For River Run\u2019s closing weekend kicking off April 15, live music from local performer Trevor Green will take place outside on the patio from 2-5pm. DJ Luke Ross will take the stage on April 16, also from 2-5pm. Apres music is free to the public and all ages are welcome.<\/p>\n

Sun Valley Resort, claimed another historic place in award annals, as a three-peat winner of Top Ski Resort in the West from SKI Magazine\u2019s revered Annual Ski Resort Awards in the Resort Guide.<\/p>\n
