Sun Valley has a well-deserved reputation for world-class alpine skiing, but is also making a name as “Nordic Town USA” with the best nordic ski terrain in the US. In fact, it’s so good, members of the Norwegian Olympic Nordic Ski Team come to the valley to train. Sun Valley has plenty to offer Nordic skiers and winter recreationalists of all ages and abilities, from over 200 kilometers of groomed trails and one of the country’s premier Nordic ski races, unmatched snow and weather conditions, and a vibrant community of Nordic skiers and sports enthusiasts, to plenty of other top-notch yet affordable recreational and cultural diversions. For all the Cool Deals on lodging, dining, and activities, please visit www.svnordicfestival.com.
The creation of the Sun Valley Nordic Festival was a collaborative effort from a wide variety of groups, individuals, and businesses, now known as the Sun Valley Nordic Ski Alliance, who are all interested in further promoting Sun Valley as a major Nordic ski destination. They include: Sun Valley/Ketchum CVB, Boulder Mountain Tour, Blaine County Recreation District, Sun Valley Resort, The Elephant’s Perch, Backwoods Mountain Sports, Sturtevants Mountain Outfitters, Sun Valley Center for the Arts, Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation, Hawley Graphics, Idaho Conservation League, Ketchum/Sun Valley Heritage & Ski Museum, Sawtooth Avalanche Center, Sun Valley Running, The Community Library, Galena Lodge and Hailey Chamber of Commerce.
