The Valley Sun

Apres Ski Music at Warm Springs Lodge – Fox Street All Stars

Monday, February 20 – Thursday, February 23

2pm – 5:30pm

It is 8:30 in the morning on the last day of the season. The sun is shining, coffee is brewing, it is a balmy 36 degrees on top of our beloved Bald Mountain, the wind is still, and we can’t wait to get up there! Grab your skis, your board, your Big Feet, your Snow Blades, your mono-ski, or something with a lot of wax on the bottom and head out to the mountain today.

It is the last day of what has been a great season and we couldn’t imagine a better day to end it on. And when your legs can’t take anymore, head to any of the apres-parties at River Run Plaza (with the Kim Stocking Band), Warm Springs Lodge (with the 812 Band) or at Apple’s on the Warm Springs Side.  And don’t forget that any Sun Valley Resort Pass is a season pass today! So if you already used up your 20/20 or if you have a discount pass, today you ski for free!

Thanks to everyone for an amazing 2009/2010! It has been a season of great changes, great skiing, and a great community! Thanks to Tim Silva, Peter Stearns, the Sun Valley Ski Patrol, Guest Services, the Mountain Department, the Snowmakers, the Lift Operators, the Race Department, the Sun Valley Ski and Ride School, everyone in all the mountain lodges, everyone who enjoyed the snow on Baldy and every guy or girl in town that tuned our skis/boards. See you next year!

It is Thursday and the last weekend of the ski season is upon, so get your skis on, strap onto your snowboard and head up on the mountain. The conditions are perfectly springlike, with plenty of corn to shred, plenty of groomers to cruise, and plenty of the mountain still left to be enjoyed. After today there are three more days of the 2009/2010 season and spend them with us, on the mountain we all love.

Take advantage of Sun Valley Resort’s new “Christmas in April” Deal on Sunday when a passholder of any kind can ski for free, come join the revelry on River Run Plaza with the Kim Stocking Band, or enjoy the tunes of the 812 Band at Warm Springs Lodge throughout the weekend. Another great season on Baldy is coming to a close, so get out there and enjoy it while you can!!

Spring is definitely in the air as the sun is shining, the snow is soft, an outdoor bar is set up at Warm Springs Lodge and goggle tans abound.

Sun Valley Resort announced yesterday that Bald Mountain will stay open through Sunday, April 18th. Little brother mountain, Dollar, will remain open through Sunday April 4th.

This leaves all of us die-hard Baldy fans, terrain park fanatics, sun-loving skiers, fair-weather boarders and spring-skiing enthusiasts plenty of time to enjoy the blue skies, snow, sun, and skiing. So rather than wondering “what if?” or lamenting Ullr for not bringing us more snow in March, get out there and make some fun spring turns, grab a seat on a sunny deck, enjoy the company of friends and savor the beauty of this place we are all lucky to call home.

The Jeremiah James Gang, Idaho’s top-selling honky tonk, outlaw country band returns to the Sun Valley Resort Boiler Room Friday and Saturday, February 12 & 13. Doors open at 9pm after the comedy series. Cover charge is $7. First 10 people at the door get in free!
