Sun Valley frequently named as a top resort: Sherman's Travel Magazine named Sun Valley as a 'Top 5 Rocky Mountain Ski Resort' for 2008; and Ski Magazine's subscribers named Sun Valley as one of the top 10 ski resorts in North America in both its 2007 and 2008 'Top 50 Resort Guide.' In addition, one of the UK's leading skiing guidebooks (the Great Skiing and Snowboarding Guide) gave Sun Valley its 2006 'Most Chilled Resort, North America' award. (According to the editors, the word 'chilled' means a resort that is 'cool, a little different, laid back, a great nightlife, stylish.') Before picking Sun Valley for this award, the editors reviewed over 6,000 resorts in 75 countries.

Sun Valley skiing skating and snow boarding: Sherman's Travel Magazine pointed out that Sun Valley has 'the greatest uphill lift capacity of any ski resort in the U.S.' Additionally, Sun Valley's snow making system is the largest in the country and most areas on the mountain undergo extensive grooming every night. The five lodges located around the ski area (which Ski Magazine called 'awesome') include two at the top of the mountain and one at the beginner area (Dollar Mountain), and all are incredibly comfortable, spacious and serve great food. Snow boarders have access to all terrain, including the 425-foot long super pipe. Lift lines are almost non-existent. Nordic and skate skiing are also available on an extensively groomed trail system, and a state-of-the-art Nordic Center is due to open in 2008. Outdoor public ice skating is available all-year round at the Sun Valley Inn; and during the summer there are shows by world-class figure skaters. In addition, hockey fans can enjoy watching matches played on the indoor rink.

Sun Valley golf facilities : Sun Valley's Trail Creek golf course (originally opened in 1937 and redesigned by Rees Jones, Jr. in 1979) is an 18 hole championship course which winds through a variety of terrain, with many elevation changes. In 2008 Golfweek voted it No. 4 on its list of 'America's Best Courses You Can Play.' The views are spectacular---but will be even more so on the new White Clouds Course constructed above the existing course, the first 9 holes of which are scheduled to open during the summer of 2008, with the second nine to open in 2009. A new 59,000 square-foot golf clubhouse, together with a 25-acre practice facility and 18-hole putting course, is also scheduled to open in the summer of 2008. A gun club, which includes skeet shooting facilities, is located adjacent to the golf courses. Golf is also available in Ketchum on the Bigwood Golf Course (9 holes) and at certain times during the day at Elkhorn Golf Club (a private 18-hole championship course managed by Troon Golf).
