Sun Valley Version 2.0

Back to index

About:

Back in February, I went with my friends Snowdog and Dan to go skiing. The founder of Bigfoot (where I used to work), Lenny Barshack owns a great place feet from the lifts of Sun Valley in Sun Valley, Idaho. The skiing there is the best I have ever skied. With virtually non-existent lift lines, and a 3400 foot vertical drop, it's absolutely breathtaking.

We skied for a few days and watched the 24 Series First Season DVD. If you ever get a chance to go there, you should definitely go.;
