Sun Valley suggestions?
I was thinking about doing Sun Valley this year. Anybody have
suggestions about where to stay, etc? I always prefer to stay in town, with restaurants and bars within walking distance, while at the same time being able to grab a shuttle or whatever to the mountain in the AM. I'm a little confused about Ketchum, Hailey, Warm Springs, etc. Where are they in relationship to each other, and to the mountain? And any ideas for good hotels? Dave |

I can never remember its name. Sun Valley Hotel? It's old, and graceful, wood with persian rugs, and amazing photos of all the famous people who've been there, right back into the olden days. It's really something. And, there's an excellent 2nd hand shop near there, it might even be a thrift-type shop, but the stuff in there and the prices are great. Lots of nifty ski stuff. -- ant |

It's really something. I think you mean the Sun Valley Lodge? The original Harriman ski lodge out near Dollar Hill, not in town nor near Baldy where the real skiing is, these days. Most (all?) of those old pictures showing 30s movie stars skiing are on Dollar, what we would call a bunny hill these days. But they do look like they were having fun, don't they? Worth a visit, particularly if you're an aficionado of early skiing.
