Sun Valley, America's first destination ski resort, centers on Bald Mountain ("Baldy") with a 3,400ft (1,036m) vertical drop and 2,457 acres of meticulously groomed, consistent fall-line terrain, plus beginner-focused Dollar Mountain. It averages roughly 172-220in (437-559cm / 4.4-5.6m) of snow backed by one of the country's most advanced snowmaking systems.
