Sun Valley

Sun Valley, ID
Feb. 13-17, Tue-Sat
All Levels Ski and Snowshoeing

Let’s ski Sun Valley!  Over 200 kilometers of Nordic ski trails wind through the Sun Valley area from Hailey in the south to Galena Lodge, tucked in the Boulder Mountains north of Ketchum. Although Sun Valley is known for its downhill ski areas, but it also has tremendous cross country ski trails.  We plan to experience the best that the area has to offer.  We will plan to ski from Galena Lodge with its famous groomed trails and in the Sawtooth Mountains to Red Fish Lake.  There is also the opportunity to do backcountry and snowshoeing, if desired.  

We will be staying in a large, comfortable home in Ketchum, about 5 miles from Sun Valley, preparing potluck meals or enjoying the ritz of Sun Valley for dining!  Although this is not a luxury trip, we will have the opportunity to enjoy this world-famous area; it also does not carry with it a luxury price tag.

We will carpool from Portland on Tuesday, February 13, returning on Saturday, February 17, with a round trip mileage of 1,200 miles, plus local driving.  For those who are interested, there is also an opportunity to join the ONC-PDX ski trip to Yellowstone National Park which starts on February 18 from Old Faithful Ski Lodge.

There will be room for 7 people – two couples and three singles. Cost per person is only $290 per person for four nights lodging.  Any trail fees are additional.
