After nearly two years of planning, Mr. & Mrs. Earl Holding present their vision for Sun Valley’s future. This 50-Year Master Plan is as notable for what it does not do as what it does. It does not build out to its potential - in fact in almost every case, the plan reduces the maximum unit development by a third to one half. Through the foresight of Mr. and Mrs. Holding, this development program will allow Sun Valley Resort to maintain its world-class standing for decades.
