SUN VALLEY, ID … Sun Valley’s Dollar Mountain will sport state of the art snowmaking from top to bottom  this upcoming ski season.

     Forty-four York Safyr Snow Gun Towers and new snowmaking infrastructure will be installed on four runs, Sepp’s Bowl, Sepp’s Road, Dollar Face, Old Bowl Lane and Race  Hill.

     New ski technology is nothing new to this sunny and gentle old mountain. In 1936, one of the world’s first two chairlifts was  installed  here by Union Pacific Railroad, founders of Sun Valley Resort. From the opening of Sun Valley on December 21, 1936, to the present day, Dollar Mountain has maintained its reputation as one of the finest ski teaching areas in the world.

     Lots of Sun Valley sunshine graces this 6,638-foot, treeless mountain with seven lifts and a lift capacity of 3,400 skiers  per hour.

     Dollar Mountain’s base lodge, the new 26,000 square-foot family center, opened in 2004 and completes the ultimate ski experience for all ages – and ideal winter playground for the young and young at heart.

      Sun Valley Resort’s owners Mr. and Mrs. Earl Holding began the reconstruction of the resort’s on-mountain lodges in the mid Nineties. All nationally acclaimed as some of the world’s finest mountain facilities, this newest development will embrace  Sun Valley Resort’s commitment to providing an unparalleled winter family vacation experience.
