Sun Valley, ID
Feb. 19-25, Wed-Tue
All Abilities
Let’s return to ski Sun Valley – the first destination ski resort in the US. Although known for its downhill ski areas, it also has extensive groomed cross country ski trails at Galena and magnificent backcountry ski trails in the Sawtooth Mountains towards Stanley. We plan to experience the best that the area has to offer!
We will plan to ski two or three days from Galena Lodge, a few miles from Sun Valley, which has more than 50 km of all-levels of groomed trails. We also plan to do easy skiing around Alturas Lake, Red Fish Lake, and the Woodland Trail. There is also the opportunity to do serious backcountry skiing and snowshoeing, if desired, or relax in the wonder town of Sun Valley. We will be staying in the same large, comfortable home in Ketchum (Grandma’s House), about 5 miles from Sun Valley, preparing potluck meals and/or enjoying the ritz of Sun Valley for dining! Although this is not a luxury trip, we will have the opportunity to explore this world-famous area; it also does not carry with it a luxury price tag.
We will carpool from Portland on Wednesday, February 19, returning on Tuesday, February 25, with a round-trip mileage of 1,200 miles, plus local driving.
Trip limit: 9 participants, including leaders. There will be room for three couples and three singles.
Cost: $295 per person for six nights lodging (two extra days for a lower price than last year). Any trail fees are additional.
Travel miles: 1200 miles roundtrip from Portland, plus mileage to the ski areas
