Paradis des gourmetsSun Valley holds a place in skiing history that no other resort can claim. Opened in 1936 in the mountains of central Idaho, it was America's first destination ski resort and home to the world's first chairlift - an invention adapted from a banana-loading mechanism for cargo ships. The resort was the vision of Averell Harriman, chairman of the Union Pacific Railroad, who wanted to create an American rival to the fashionable Alpine resorts of Europe. What he built in the Wood River Valley attracted Ernest Hemingway, Gary Cooper, and the Kennedy family, establishing a glamour that lingers today - though modern Sun Valley has traded old-Hollywood exclusivity for a more relaxed, outdoor-focused sophistication.
The skiing at Bald Mountain - the main mountain, known locally as 'Baldy' - covers 2,457 acres across 120 runs, served by an extraordinary fleet of 17 lifts that includes 10 high-speed quads and a gondola. The summit reaches 2,789m with a vertical drop of over 1,036m, and the terrain spans gentle groomers, sustained intermediate cruisers, and steep bowl skiing above the treeline. The season runs from late November to mid-April, and Idaho's position in the interior west delivers dry, light powder and an average of over 300 days of sunshine a year. Seven terrain parks and 40km of Nordic trails round out the offering. For a US ski resort of this pedigree, the lift queues are remarkably short - that fleet of high-speed lifts means you spend your time skiing, not waiting.
The town of Ketchum, at the base of Baldy, has the feel of a mountain community that happens to have a world-class ski resort rather than the other way around. The main street is lined with independent galleries, restaurants, and shops, and the cultural life runs deeper than most ski towns - Hemingway's memorial sits above Trail Creek, and the Sun Valley Center for the Arts hosts exhibitions and performances year-round. For UK travellers looking for an American ski holiday with genuine history, outstanding grooming, and a town with real character, Sun Valley is one of the most compelling options in the country. Check out Sun Valley ski deals to start planning your trip.

Je réserve habituellement moi-même les vols, les transferts, l'hôtel, la location du matériel de ski et les forfaits ski, mais cette année j'ai utilisé WeSki pour un séjour à Morzine. C'était tellement plus simple. Tout a parfaitement fonctionné - les transferts sont arrivés à l'heure et il y avait beaucoup de retours d'information tout au long du processus, ce qui vous donne confiance que les vacances se dérouleront sans problème.
Un service vraiment utile qui est beaucoup plus facile à utiliser que d'autres sites "tout compris". Il comble parfaitement le fossé entre une agence de voyage et la réservation du séjour par vous-même en ligne. J'utiliserai WeSki chaque fois que j'irai au ski à partir de maintenant.
Nous avons réservé un séjour au ski de dernière minute à Morzine via WeSki. Nous avions envisagé de réserver le séjour nous-mêmes, mais nous n'avons pas pu trouver un prix aussi avantageux que celui proposé par WeSki. L'entreprise a été super et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème du début à la fin. Je passerai certainement de nouveau par eux pour réserver un autre week-end au ski.
Une expérience fluide du début à la fin. Je passais des heures à essayer d'organiser un week-end et j'ai réussi à le faire avec WeSki en quelques minutes et pour le même prix que si je l'avais réservé moi-même. Le vol, le transfert et l'hébergement étaient tous comme prévu et nous n'avons rencontré aucun problème.
