Summer Operations on Bald Mountain are now closed.

Bald Mountain Stewardship Project

For the last six years, the National Forest Foundation and Sun Valley Resort have led a coalition of over 60 individuals and organizations—including the U.S. Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and private landowners—to address declining forest health on Bald Mountain and surrounding areas.

2025 Restoration Work:

This summer's efforts will focus on forest health and fuel reduction in Olympic terrain, including:

• Thinning approximately 100 acres to remove dead and downed trees, promote forest resilience, and open new gladed skiing terrain
• Replanting native species
• Removing noxious weeds
• Installing MCH packets to deter insect infestations

What to Expect:

Visitors should anticipate closures on the River Run side of Bald Mountain this summer. For more information on on-going forest health work, visit our Sustainability page below.
