Sun Valley

Sun Valley is one of the oldest resorts in the United States. Sun Valley is the resort that made skiing glamorous. Look at the photos of celebrities skiing in the 30s, 40s, and 50s and they were all skiing in Sun Valley.

With the grand opening of Sun Valley, "America’s First Destination for skiing," celebrities flocked to the area to see America’s new grand dame of ski resorts. Ernest Hemingway fell in love with Sun Valley and eventually made it his home; he finished For Whom the Bell Tolls in Suite 206 of the Sun Valley Lodge. Clark Gable, Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman...they all came to play at the glamorous, new winter wonderland that was Sun Valley.
