Sun Vally has closed many lifts as of March 24th!

Sun Valley has closed many of their lifts as of March 24th. I complained about paying full price for a ticket, and they said tough luck!! This makes it very inconvenient for snow boarders %26amp; skiers alike. They claim the entire mountain is still accessable. That%26#39;s a joke!! It%26#39;s accessable by walking or taking cat tracks!!





I would complain to Sun Valley management before coming the last week of March or 1st week of April. It%26#39;s a crime to pay full price and half to do so much walking/hiking.





The lifts are closed apparently because they are low on staff, due to many of their international workers leaving due to visa expirations. What a shame, best snow in years!!

I don%26#39;t know who you are or what you are saying. I ski 50+ days a year and all the lifts are operating...just skiied them today...they will be operating untill the middle of April...Did you really come to Sun Valley Idaho???? And the ticket price is reduced...and i really have to wonder about first time posters...i have said this before, first time posters with only BAD things to say...

Sun Valley’s sun shines 80 percent of the ski season.







here is todays report.. enjoy










Charley48...I forgot to mention that I spoke with 2 ski patrol %26amp; 1 ski instructor and they all were pissed that management had closed so many lifts, especially with so much great snow on the mountain. The list you posted, verifies my complaint. 6 of 14 lifts are closed. I guess you must have been skiing Dollar, so you didn%26#39;t notice.




The skiing continues to be the best it has been in years. The only area of the mountain that you can not use is the Cold Springs lift, it always is closed by now.





The Chairlifts that are closed are unneeded as other chairs service all areas. Our mountain is large and you always take cat-tracks to get around. There are no lift lines. We have Sunshine!





The hike across the top is mostly downhill and is the most beautiful hike you will ever do. The view of the Pioneer Mountains, the Boulder Mountains and the White Cloud Mountains is awesome!





I think you are a glass half empty kind of guy.




No....





As I said before, I was snowboarding with my 8 yr old sun. I thought a reasonable accomadation would have been to discount the lift tickets.




I agree whole heartedly..this is the best snow that i have ever had in springtime and i have been here for 30 years...they did just close coldsprings iift, as they are starting on a new area there.



What is really great, all the people have left and we have the whole mountain to ourselves...yeah, and i am going up right now to enjoy it...




I guess you don%26#39;t agree with the long standing SVCO policy that the rates are based on how much of the Mountain is open and skiable. The number of chairlifts is not what you are paying for it is the number of runs that are patrolled, groomed and open.





It is amazing that this late in the season Seattle Ridge and the Bowls are even open. I have lived here 34 years and we have had a lot of years where I am mowing my yard by now.





No need to quote ski instructors or ski patrol they are all grumpy by March 1st and they will complain about anything and everything related to their employer.




Oh, my husband is quite happy to not be read to till the garden!!! We have had fun STILL enjoying the view from the Seattle Lodge and the great skiing, although, i would love to wear my flip flops!!!




that ';typo'; was meant to read,,,,my husband is happy to not be READY to till the garden...
