The Bowls
The Bowls along the top of Bald Mountain range in difficulty from easiest (Broadway Face) to most difficult (Little Easter Bowl). Intermediate skiers can begin at the left of the mountain and move to the right as they feel more comfortable. The Bowls are easily served by the Mayday chairlift, a seven minute ride back to the top.
Warm Springs
Warm Springs, named for the warm bubbling water at the base of the lift, is a great area of the mountain for the intermediate skier who needs a little more time to move on to the advanced stage. Filled with more difficult runs, Warm Springs glows in the afternoon sunshine. The top of the area is home to Warm Springs Face and most difficult runs International and Limelight. Halfway down, skiers can decide which of the more difficult runs they want to venture on ranging from Brick's Island to Cozy.
Half Pipe
The ski and snowboard half-pipe is located on the skier's left side of Lower Warm Springs, below Race Arena. The u-shaped terrain features are about 400 feet in length, 40 feet wide, with walls about 12 feet high.
Nordic and Snowshoe
Sun Valley Nordic and Snowshoe Center is located in the backyard of the world famous Sun Valley Lodge. Cross country skiers have all the amenities of America's first year-round destination resort surrounding their Nordic ski experience. Two heated outdoor pools, ice skating, elegant dining, exclusive shopping and village ambience complement some of the best cross country skiing in the Rocky Mountains.
40 kilometers, or about 25 miles of manicured and marked trails begin at the Nordic Center. Gentle terrain at the trailhead progresses to challenging hills. Gliding over glistening meadows at an elevation of 6,000 feet is a unique experience for the Rocky Mountain cross country skier seeking a wide variety of classical, skate skiing and ski touring. Ski touring in the nearby Sawtooth National Recreation Area also may be arranged by the Sun Valley Nordic Center.
