Idaho is home to Sun Valley – the most famous, historic ski resort in the country. Sun Valley is the “original,” home of the world’s first chairlift in the country, on Dollar Mountain in 1936.

Our favorite family resort! It so easy to drop off my wife and kids and park only a minute away! It takes the stress out of a dropoff. Plus the skiing is great and less crowded than most resorts.Superb!5 / 5Oct 08, 2012

We love Sun Valley. We used to own a condo there and spent 2 weeks there every spring and 1 week each summer. We are enjoying being able to share Sun Valley with our teenage children.
