Bald Mountain (Sun Valley) can be accessed at River Run on the south and Warm Springs on the north. During the winter,

finely appointed day lodges, a total of 14 lifts and 65 varied runs await on either side of the mountain. Bald Mountain's

seemingly endless runs stretch 2,054 acres to the edges of the Sawtooth National Forest and slide another 3,400 vertical

feet, top to bottom.



River Run

The River Run area of Bald Mountain is full of slopes covering all ranges of abilities. The most difficult runs, Olympic and

Exhibition, are countered by an easier Olympic Ridge and Olympic Lane. From the top, intermediate skiers can choose Cutoff

or Blue Grouse to Mid River Run to get back to the River Run Lift. From there it is a nine-minute lift ride back to the top.

Advanced skiers can tackle the Rock Garden, Exhibition or Upper Holiday runs for moguls galore.



Seattle Ridge

Seattle Ridge Lodge overlooks all runs designated as slow skiing areas with the exception of the difficult Firetrail. Seattle

Ridge runs are well groomed and served by the Seattle Ridge chairlift, a five minute ride from the bottom of the ridge back to

the top.



The Bowls

The Bowls along the top of Bald Mountain range in difficulty from easiest (Broadway Face) to most difficult (Little Easter

Bowl). Intermediate skiers can begin at the left of the mountain and move to the right as they feel more comfortable. The

Bowls are easily served by the Mayday chairlift, a seven minute ride back to the top.



Warm Springs

Warm Springs, named for the warm bubbling water at the base of the lift, is a great area of the mountain for the intermediate

skier who needs a little more time to move on to the advanced stage. Filled with more difficult runs, Warm Springs glows in

the afternoon sunshine. The top of the area is home to Warm Springs Face and most difficult runs International and Limelight.

Halfway down, skiers can decide which of the more difficult runs they want to venture on ranging from Brick's Island to

Cozy.



Half Pipe

The ski and snowboard half-pipe is located on the skier’s left side of Lower Warm Springs, below Race Arena. The

u-shaped terrain features are about 400 feet in length, 40 feet wide, with walls about 12 feet high
