Sun Valley, ID. (Dec. 3, 2025) —
Sun Valley Resort has been featured in The Wall Street Journal's article "For World-Class Skiing Without Crowds, Skip St. Moritz and Head to Sun Valley," which highlights the independently owned Idaho destination as a premier choice for discerning skiers seeking exceptional terrain without the masses.
The Journal praised Sun Valley's notably uncrowded slopes and authentic Western character. As the article noted, while "the Sun Valley resort area includes a bustling town, Ketchum, Idaho, feels more Old-West cool than see-and-be-seen glitz."
The article noted Bald Mountain's impressive 3,400 vertical feet of consistent fall-line terrain, free of flats or plateaus, with high-speed lifts providing efficient access to varied runs set against the dramatic backdrop of the Pioneer, Boulder and Sawtooth mountain ranges.
The Journal gave particular attention to Sun Valley's storied history, highlighting The Ram restaurant, which has delivered an elegant dining experience since 1937, and the Sun Valley Lodge. Built in 1936 as the centerpiece of America's first destination ski resort, the Lodge has hosted luminaries including Clark Gable, Lucille Ball and Frank Sinatra. Ernest Hemingway wrote most of For Whom the Bell Tolls at the expansive grand dame, cementing its place in both skiing and literary history.
