The
autumn season in Sun Valley is magical. Once
schools begin and visitors go back home this
is Sun Valley perhaps at its best according to
local opinion. During “slack” the
spectacular fall foliage begins to show its majesty.
This is a great time for peak bagging, running,
hiking and don’t forget to break out those
roller skis for some early dry land training.
If we are blessed by Indian summer temps can
range between the 70s’ and dip into the
30’s.
Winter
is what put Sun Valley on the map. The Sun Valley
Resort is America’s first destination resort,
originated in 1936 by Union Pacific Railroad.
It is located in the Northern Rockies region
of south central Idaho boasting light dry powder
and sunshine 120 days out of 150 during the winter
months. There are more outdoor recreations here
than any other destination resort in the U.S.
including would class nordic trails and phenomenal
backcountry skiing.
During
the spring you can expect few people and an abundance
of terrain to play in. Mountain bike trails begin
to dry out in the south valley while the spring
corn snow can be on in the north valley. Day
time temperatures to creep up to towards the
70’s and evenings are cool. It is time
to get the bikes out of storage and tuned up
and organize the climbing gear.
