- Sun Valley has consistently excellent bump runs (Holiday being my favorite --
- no traffic or onlookers). There is a lot of open terrain as well as tree skiing.
- The bowls on Seattle Ridge are a blast, and there is a lot of room on some of the
- steeper groomed runs if you just want to cruise.
-
- The whole season I worked there, there was _never_ a need to wait in a lift line.
- Another good thing about SV is that the people who go there tend to be more
- serious skiers because it is not as accessible as other resorts.
