This trip is all about great ski conditions and great weather. Yes, we are going to Sun Valley, considered by many to be one of the top five Nordic ski regions in America. We can expect almost ideal weather conditions: an average of over 120 days of sunshine every winter and over 100 inches of snow.
At about 6,000 feet elevation, four Nordic areas and over 200 km of groomed trails, we will have a great selection of trails for everyone from novice to expert. Explore more of what’s available: https://www.visitsunvalley.com/winter/complete-guide-to-cross-country-skiing-sun-valley/
We will be staying at a luxury home in the Elkhorn Village in Sun Valley. There are five bedrooms, four bathrooms and an outdoor hot tub. It is close to restaurants and amenities in Sun Valley, as well as the four Nordic ski areas. Here’s a look at the spacious house: https://www.vrbo.com/159908ha
As usual, we will enjoy potluck dinners. Bring your own breakfasts and lunches. We will check in on Wed. Feb. 23, and check out on Sun. Feb. 27.

Also, for those that are interested, there is excellent downhill skiing available at Sun Valley Resort.
