Sun Valley, ID
Feb. 18 – 23, 2026, Wed – Mon
All Levels XC Skiing and Snowshoeing
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 in the Sawtooth Mountains towards Stanley. We plan to experience the best that the area has to offer!
We will plan to ski a couple days from Galena Lodge, a few miles from Sun Valley, which has more than 50 km of groomed trails for all levels. We also plan to do easy skiing around Alturas Lake, Red Fish Lake, and the Woodland Trail. Or relax in the wonderful town of Sun Valley for those so inclined.
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! There will be room for two couples and four singles. 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 18, returning on Monday, February 23, with a round-trip mileage of 1,200 miles, plus local driving.
Trip limit: 8 participants
Cost: $290 per person for five nights lodging. Trail fees, meals and carpooling are additional.
Travel miles: From Portland, 1200 miles round trip, plus mileage to the ski areas
