10th Annual Ski Trip - Sun Valley, ID
February 17 - 21, 2005 (Sun Valley, ID)
This year's trip will be at Sun Valley, ID. A little out of the way, but
it is a goal to hit all the major resorts out West. Sun Valley is known for
it's sunshine (80% sunny days), highest lift capacity per skier per hour of any
resort, and some consider it the
best ski mountain in the country: "Sun
Valley boasts two fabulous mountains: Baldy, considered by serious skiers as
this country's single best ski mountain, and Dollar, a beginner's paradise with
gentle, sunny slopes groomed to perfection. "

 | Ground Transportation
We will likely rent cars. The shuttle service runs infrequently and is
about $50-60 one way. Let's try to shoot for 3 sets of car departures from
BOI (early afternoon, evening, late). We'll add more cars and times as more
people sign up. It's about a 2.5 hour drive to Sun Valley so try not to book a
flight that gets in past 9pm.
