It’s no secret that Idaho is a haven for skiers and snowboarders. No matter where you find yourself in the state, you’re likely within a few hours of a world-class resort. Each of our Idaho ski resorts has something unique and attractive to offer, but there’s one that continually impresses with its top-notch facilities and visual glory. Sun Valley Resort was just named the top ski resort in the West by SKI Magazine, and we have to say, we completely agree.

Sun Valley Resort is no stranger to being featured by ski-centric publications. They've made numerous appearances in SKI Magazine's Resort Guide especially, but they often fell short of the #1 spot. That is, until this year.

That's right, our very own Sun Valley Resort finally nabbed the #1 ranking of the best ski resort in the West for 2021. SKI Magazine is regarded as the go-to resource for just about everything related to skiing around the world, so this achievement is definitely worth celebrating!

SKI Magazine cited the "down-to-earth" charm of Ketchum as being a major reason the resort has captured the hearts of skiers from both near and far. From its cozy lodging and dining to its lively nightlife and après, Ketchum is the perfect community for winter sports enthusiasts.
