Made a few changes to the video style for Insider's Guides, especially the intro and outro sections. Let me know what you guys think.
I really like the new way you did the intro!
One of the coolest mountain resorts and towns I’ve ever skied.
Good video! Can't wait to see the Bald Mountain video
Warm Springs (north) side is cold and shady in the morning because the mountain is so steep it hides the sun. New faster larger lifts installed
Cold in the morning but great in the afternoon
I appreciate the video and commentary but while our ski group loved the resort and town in 2023, after the trip, no one said they wanted to come back for the skiing. First of all, Bald Mountain is largely for advanced to expert skiers with its steep slopes. There are few true intermediate runs except at Dollar Mountain which is actually nothing but a small hill. The folks who drive the grooming machines on Bald Mt. must have been on vacation the week we were there. The slopes were hardpacked and icy the entire week, something I heard is common most of the winter because Sun Valley does not get a lot of precipitation. In addition, many runs were in the shade which made every carving turn extremely challenging. The resort, the town and the mountains are outstanding but people who like all of the intermediate runs at Snowmass, Breckenridge, and Vail will not have a good time at Sun Valley I am sorry to say.
I promise you, get a good storm like I did and you'll be golden. But no, I don't disagree with you in that when times are bad, they're BAD.
I'm going skiing at Copper in late April. What areas would you suggest are best that time of year? (I ski blues, blacks and double blacks.)
We skied it today and to be completely honest, the snow conditions across the whole resort were absolute garbage. However, the snow is softest and most consistent in Center Village, so I would recommend the American Eagle, American Flyer and Excelerator pods. Avoid low-altitude mogul runs at all costs (Alpine pod comes to mind).
4:18 Couldn't Loveland Valley work too?
Kindof, but it also has the race courses and isn't really separate the same way Dollar-Baldy are
