With the last day on Baldy expected to be Easter Sunday, and the Round House already closed up for the ‘08/’09 season, the rest of the mountain is slowly retiring its lifts for the remainder of the year. Beginning on Sunday, March 29th, Exhibition and Sunnyside lifts will close and on Sunday, April 5th, Greyhawk, Mayday and Cold Springs, as well as all of Seattle Ridge will shut down.
As always, this is subject to change depending on weather and snow conditions but at least Late Season Rates go into effect on March 30, with the $30 College ticket available to college students and faculty with valid college I.D.
Skiing may be winding down, but with warmer days on the horizon, a little après ski action at the base of Warm Springs’ sun deck mixed with some live tunes certainly keeps the alpine spirit alive. And don't forget about the Holding Cup Race March 27 & 28. No race experience is needed for this one. Recruit a team of four skiers from your alma mater, and win great prizes!
In other Sun Valley Company news, long time General Manager Wally Huffman will be trading in his hat to become the company’s new Director of Resort Development in late April or early May.
Huffman has seen the company through a number of resort developments including the new Sun Valley Golf/Nordic Club House, the White Clouds Golf Course and the Sun Valley Pavilion. Next on his agenda is a 160 acre development at the base of River Run. The new village may include a hotel and residential units.
Stepping into Huffman’s place is former Sun Valley Lifts Operations Manager Tim Silva, who for the past 17 years has been General Manager at Northstar Resort in Tahoe.
