Color in

� Mountains

Summer is indeed a wonderful time to freshen up interior spaces and bring pops of color into your home. Utilizing color can truly transform the atmosphere of a room and evoke different sensations.

By Arianne Heyser

TEXTURIZE WITH COLOR

Don’t be afraid to mix it up. Mixing patterns with colorful textures can add a cheerfulness and pop to any room.

Accent pillows are an easy and effective way to introduce pops of color and add visual interest to a room. Spark interest by introducing a statement piece like a solid colored accent chair or bold sofa.

When shopping for decor items, it’s recommended to shop locally and see things in person, as the true vibrancy of colors can only be appreciated in real life.

LIFE TO YOUR SPACE

To bring life to your space, consider incorporating greenery and plants, or faux plants if you prefer low-maintenance options. Beautiful realistic plants in many varieties are now available that add life to your spaces all year round. Incorporate living accents when accessorizing your home can ground your groupings and soften harsh edges.

ADD A SPLASH OF COLOR

A fresh coat of paint can add immediate appeal! The colors you surround yourself with have a unique way of changing one’s state of mind. Light colors can make a room feel bigger or can make a room feel very stark in a large space. Darker paints on accent walls can give you the illusion of space and open up the room making it feel larger.

Rich colors can give one a sense of comfort; resulting in either a sanctuary for reflection or a comfortable gathering area.

Consulting with a professional can help optimize changes in your space and ensure a cohesive and harmonious look.

2024 Summer Concerts OPENING NIGHT WITH MEECHOT MARRERO

Monday, July 29, 2024, 6:30 PM The Festival’s 40th Season opens with a fanfare written by the composer Timothy Higgins especially for this occasion! Then soprano Meechot Marrero returns to Sun Valley to sing a few of her favorite arias—fans may remember her passionate performance in the Festival’s gala concert, Carmina Burana, in 2022.

The concert closes with Prokofiev’s “Classical” symphony. Prokofiev himself gave it the nickname, as he intended to write a symphony in the classical style, while “absorbing things from what was new in music.” It’s a delightful, sunny piece, and one of the most-performed works of the 20th century.

PIAZZOLLA’S FOUR SEASONS AND MOZART’S LINZ SYMPHONY Tuesday, July 30, 2024, 6:30 PM

The Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla, most famous for his tangos, composed The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires in the late 1960s. Festival Assistant Concertmaster Juliana Athayde will take the lead on these four lovely pieces that quote and improvise on Vivaldi’s masterpiece. Following, Associate Conductor Stephanie Childress returns to the podium to lead Mozart’s ”Linz” symphony. On the way from Vienna to Salzburg, Austria, Mozart stopped to visit a friend in Linz, only to learn that said friend had committed him to performing a symphony there in four days. The only problem was that he didn’t have a symphony with him. So, being Mozart, he wrote one. It’s brilliant, of course!

MEECHOT MARRERO AND FESTIVAL MUSICIANS PLAY SCHUBERT

2024 40TH ANNIVERSARY GALA: AN EVENING WITH YO-YO MA

Schubert wrote The Shepherd on the Rock as a favor for a friend—a soprano—who asked for a piece that would allow her to express a wide range of emotions. Meechot Marrero will sing the vocal part, accompanied by piano and clarinet, with the latter sometimes imitating and other times enhancing her voice. Schubert’s Trout Quintet is one of his most beloved chamber works, and for good reason—it’s full of cheerful, beautiful, and catchy melodies.

The renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma will join Music Director Alasdair Neale and the Festival Orchestra for an unforgettable Gala concert in honor of the Festival’s 40th Summer Season.

The performance will be the Sun Valley debut of the distinguished cellist, who is one of the most acclaimed artists of our time. He will perform Dvořák’s beloved Cello Concerto. See Festival website for ticket availability.

ANDY AKIHO’S CELLO CONCERTO

Monday, August 5, 2024, 6:30 PM

SIR STEPHEN HOUGH WITH FESTIVAL MUSICIANS

Friday, August 2, 2024, 6:30 PM

Wednesday, August 7, 2024, 6:30 PM

It’s not often one gets to hear the world premiere of a new concerto, so mark your calendars for this concert helping celebrate the Music Festival’s 40th anniversary! Back in 2021, the Festival commissioned “trailblazing” (Los Angeles Times) and Grammy-nominated composer Andy Akiho to write a cello concerto for Jeffrey Zeigler, the former cellist of the famed Kronos Quartet. Following the concerto, the celebration will continue with Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks, composed in 1749 to celebrate the end of the War of the Austrian Succession.

Knighted in 2022, Sir Stephen Hough is a composer and author in addition to being one of the world’s finest pianists.

For this concert, he will perform two solo piano pieces (including one he wrote) before joining with Festival Musicians for Dvořák’s Piano Quintet No. 2. Dvořák fills his Quintet with Bohemian song and dance elements that he wrote himself in the traditional style. It’s a happy piece that was instantly popular and still is, and it’s easy to hear why: a variety of alternative motifs, ranging in emotional quality, but always returning to graceful and joyful melodies.

(MANY OF) CLASSICAL MUSIC’S GREATEST HITS

SIR STEPHEN HOUGH PLAYS GRIEG

Don’t miss this evening of audience favorites! The celebratory program kicks off with John Williams’s iconic Olympic Fanfare, followed by Johann Strauss Jr.’s Blue Danube, recognizable from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey. Associate Conductor Stephanie Childress will then lead the orchestra through Wagner’s thrilling Ride of the Valkyries and Rossini’s William Tell Overture. The blockbuster program concludes with Ravel’s stirring Boléro.

Edvard Grieg wrote his Piano Concerto at the young age of 24, and it’s no wonder it’s his only one—it’s about as close to perfection as a concerto can get. From the thunderous opening, to the many lyrical melodies in the first movement, the heartbreakingly beautiful second movement, and the joyful and thrilling third, it’s a tour de force from start to finish. The program opens with Gabriela Ortiz’s Antrópolis, a piece inspired by the music of Mexico’s nightlife, rich with rhythms and melodies from bars, nightclubs, and dance halls.

Sunday, August 4, 2024, 6:30 PM

Thursday, August 8, 2024, 6:30 PM

MAHLER’S SYMPHONY NO. 6

Sunday, August 11, 2024, 6:30 PM Many of Mahler’s symphonies depict a triumphant journey from darkness into light… but not this one. This is Mahler’s “Tragic” symphony—a name he gave it himself. The end is bitter, catastrophic, devastating, and hopeless. But it’s also a work of transcendent beauty, longing, and tenderness. Mahler described one passage as “shadowy memories of my life pass before me, like long-forgotten ghosts of departed happiness.” Please note that this program will last just under 90 minutes.

BEETHOVEN’S TRIPLE CONCERTO Tuesday, August 13, 2024, 6:30 PM

This concert offers an unusual piece: a concerto for violin, cello, and piano, performed by Festival Orchestra musicians. Few composers have tried this format, but of course Beethoven succeeded. The themes are fairly simple for Beethoven, but—then again—so is the first movement of his Moonlight Sonata, and no one complains about that. Throughout the piece, Beethoven finds elegant ways to give each instrument solo turns with the various melodies, including throughout the sunny finale. The program opens with Jessie Montgomery’s Strum, a piece that, in the composer’s words, “draws on American folk idioms and the spirit of dance and movement.”

LEONIDAS KAVAKOS PLAYS BRAHMS Wednesday, August 14, 2024, 6:30 PM

Greek violinist Kavakos, a frequent fixture with the orchestras of Berlin, Vienna, and London, brings Brahms’s gorgeous violin concerto (and his 1734 Stradivarius violin) to Sun Valley for his debut with the Festival Orchestra. Written for the greatest violinist alive in Brahms’s day, the piece tests the soloist’s technique and musicianship, but the virtuosity remains in service of the music at all times. And it’s delightful music, from the turbulent first movement to the foot-stomping, Hungarianinspired finale. The program opens with A Joyous Trilogy, by American composer Quinn Mason. In Mason’s words, he intended his piece to be “the very embodiment of happiness, an accessible work that would put any listener in a good mood.”

POPS NIGHT: INDIANA JONES AND THE RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK™ LIVE IN CONCERT Saturday, August 17, 2024, 6:30 PM

George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, and Harrison Ford might get most of the credit for what many consider “the greatest adventure film ever made,” but the score by John Williams also ranks as one of cinema’s most amazing achievements. At every moment, the music immerses the audience in the adventure, from the instantly recognizable main theme, to specific music for nearly every scene, including “Marion’s Theme,” “The Map Room: Dawn,” “Bad Dates,” “The Well of the Souls,” and “Desert Chase.” Enjoy this classic film from the Pavilion— where a screen will be hung above the orchestra— or on the lawn with the new Big Screen and upgraded sound system.

FOUR SEA INTERLUDES AND THE ORGAN SYMPHONY

Monday, August 19, 2024, 6:30 PM Benjamin Britten wrote some gorgeous music to cover the set changes in his popular opera Peter Grimes, and the resulting Four Sea Interludes open this program. They reflect not only physical changes in scene (from land to sea, for example) but also the drama taking place among the opera’s characters. The organ makes an incredibly dramatic entrance in the final movement of Camille SaintSaёns’s Symphony No. 3, and it’s well worth the wait. The catchy theme that follows might sound familiar, especially if you’ve seen the movie Babe, wherein it supports the little pig’s triumph.

GARRICK OHLSSON IN RECITAL Tuesday, August 20, 2024, 6:30 PM

The only American to have ever won the International Chopin Competition, “famous for great sonority, though he never seems to be working very hard to produce it” (Seattle Times), pianist Garrick Ohlsson returns to Sun Valley to offer an all-Chopin recital.

SEASON FINALE: RACHMANINOFF AND THE PINES OF ROME

Thursday, August 22, 2024, 6:30 PM The Music Festival’s 40th Anniversary Season concludes with two blockbusters of the classical repertoire. Garrick Ohlsson handles the Herculean piano role in Rachmaninoff’s Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini. At times nearly thundering and demonic, at other times sweetly lyrical and romantic, many consider this Rachmaninoff’s finest work for piano and orchestra.

It’s hard to imagine any piece following it, but Respighi’s Pines of Rome is up to the challenge.

Taking us along a geographic tour of Rome, the piece concludes with a triumphant Roman legion marching home along the Appian Way. The Pavilion will tremble under the audience’s feet!

All concerts are free, except for the Gala Fundraising Concert.

Performances begin at 6:30 PM and take place at the Sun Valley Pavilion.

Keeping Both Wolves and Sheep Safe

S

pring is in the air and with its arrival many familiar things return to our valley, including the annual pilgrimage of sheep returning to graze in the National Forests around the Wood River Valley. With this comes the age-old conflict between sheep and native carnivore. Depredation on livestock is an ongoing issue, and in 2008 the Wood River Wolf Project was formed to address the issue of wolf depredation using non-lethal measures.

THE MISSION The Wood River Wolf Project promotes the coexistence of livestock and wolves by proactively using nonlethal measures to prevent depredation.

The Wood River Wolf Project began in 2008 as a field study. Our shortterm goal was to determine if nonlethal methods could effectively deter wolves from preying on livestock on a large-scale mountainous landscape containing tens of thousands of sheep during the summer and early autumn grazing season.

It was the worst-case scenario as more sheep are killed by native predators than other types of livestock. At the time we began, this had never been tried before. Even the wolf managers and scientists thought we would fail.

That was 16 years ago. Since that time, we have proven that our methods are at least 3.5 times more effective than traditional lethal control measures in protecting livestock and wildlife. Out of the 20k to 25k sheep grazing annually in the Wood River Valley, less than 5 sheep on average are lost to wolves in the 1200 sq km project area.

WOLVES AND eMTBs I personally heard about the Project back in 2021 when the Wood River Wolf Project field staff reached out to us at Sturtevant’s to purchase an electric mountain bike (eMTB) for use in the field. The next season they purchased a second bike, and my interest was piqued as I am a big wildlife advocate.

I asked about volunteer opportunities, and the Field Manager suggested I meet him at East Fork on a Saturday morn-

ing and bring an eMTB. I’m now entering my third season as a volunteer with my primary function of finding good locations for game cameras and monitoring them, for wolves of course. This is where the bikes come in. When these sheep arrive, their allotted grazing areas are at high elevation, and deep into the backcountry. With the remoteness and difficulty of this terrain, the electric mountain bike is the perfect tool for gaining access to the backcountry with some efficiency. In any given outing we can rack up 25 miles with 5000’ of climbing, all in a day’s work for a good eMTB. We now have two of these bikes, one with so many miles on it, it’s already in need of replacing, and we use them to monitor game cameras, for critical communication with the herders in the field, and ultimately if there’s a predator issue we’ll jump on the bikes and head out to help protect the sheep.

Human activity around the bands is the best method of discouraging predators.

The eMTB has become an invaluable tool for our work, with the bonus being, they are an absolute blast to ride. S

E-Bike 201 or eMTBs

By Jim Santa

ack in the Summer 2020 issue of this publication, we introduced the basics of ebikes, as these pedal assist machines were taking the market by storm and were new to most riders. This is still true today, with ebike being the most rapidly evolving category in cycling. And since 2020, we’ve seen a lot of technological advances in ebikes, especially electric mountain bikes or eMTBs. The superlight (SL) category is the latest trend to hit e-mountain bikes. Essentially, a bike in the superlight e-mountain category has a less powerful motor and smaller battery than a “full-power” e-mountain

bike. While the latter might have a motor that kicks out 85Nm of torque and a 900Wh battery, a SL e-bike has a motor that puts out 50Nm of torque and carries a 320Wh battery. A smaller-capacity battery is physically smaller and is lighter weight, and most less powerful SL motors are smaller and lighter than full-power motors as-well. As a result, most superlight eMTBs weigh around 40 pounds, 10 or so pounds lighter than a full-power ebike. Compare this to a weight of around 30 lbs on a standard full suspension MTB. Weight plays a massive role in how the bikes handle and feel on

BE WARNED: If you don’t want to get an eMTB, don’t get on one. seeing similar play times as with full-power bikes. However, a full-power bike, especially on climbs, will get you places faster – perhaps much faster – than an SL bike. And with their ever-bigger batteries, some as much as 900 or 1000Wh batteries, some full-power ebikes can offer notably more distance and elevation than an SL bike. Full-power ebikes are fast and powerful, but they are also heavy. And currently the ride experience is less refined than the experience of riding an SL eMTB. The large heavy batteries and full-power motor require a stout frame and heavier-duty components. And even though most full-power e-MTBs boast generous suspension travel (typically 160mm or more), they still feel a bit harsh on the trail, providing less feedback. An SL e-bike, in contrast, feels more compliant, agile, and precise. While a full-power bike feels a bit sluggish, the SL e-bike is lithe and graceful. All this said, an SL ebike will likely set you back a bit more financially as in the cycling world, lighter generally means more expensive.

the trail, not to mention loading one on a bike rack, I can speak to this from experience.

A lighter eMTB handles more like an unpowered mountain bike, more flickable and poppy, and is easier to steer and control than a heavier full-power e-bike. This is especially true for lighter and less powerful riders.

BUT WHAT ABOUT RANGE, YOU ASK. Smaller batteries do not necessarily mean shorter run time as the less powerful motor consumes less energy.

And with the overall weight being around 25% less, we are

GUIDE SERVICE Here at Sturtevant’s we offer both full-power eMTBs and SL eMTB models. Of note in the SL models is the Santa Cruz Heckler SL, which in one recent test was rated as the top model. We also stock the Giant Trance X Elite which is the lightest full-power model on the market at around 41 lbs, which is similar in weight to the Heckler SL. Whether you’re looking at a full-power eMTB, or one of the new SL models, I’m here to tell you that the terrain we have available to ride these bikes is likely some of the finest in the country. While you may need to explore beyond the “frontside” and get deeper into the backcountry, the amount of spectacular multi-use terrain we have is literally unlimited, and you won’t see many others out there either. Sturtevant’s guide service offers eMTB trips for those looking to familiarize themselves with the bikes and the backcountry. And these eMTBs, whether full-powered or SL, also make for great tools to access the backcountry for work purposes. We are seeing them being used by trail builders, search and rescues groups, and for me personally, to access game cameras deep in the backcountry as part of a volunteer position I have with the Wood River Wolf Project (see related article in this issue). We have a saying here at Sturtevant’s, “if you don’t want to get an eMTB, don’t get on one. These bikes are an absolute blast to ride!! S SUN VALLEY SOURCE

Christmas Island Lodge:

By Bryant Dunn ©2022

AN ANGLER’S PARADISE

F

or Christmastime revelers across the world, December 25th serves as the annual day to exchange gifts, fill stockings and celebrate Christian traditions with friends and family.

However, on the central Pacific island of Kiritimati, Christmas is a year round event.

Commonly known as Christmas Island, named by Captain James Cook upon his “discovery” of the island on Christmas Eve in 1777, this central Pacific coral atoll is one of 33 tropical islands that make up the Republic of Kiribati and is located approximately 1300 miles due south of Hawaii just north of the equator. In the local Gilbertese language, ti is pronounced as s thus resulting in the pronunciation of Kiritimati equating to Christmas and Kiribati to keer-ih-bos.

RECREATIONAL FISHERY This remote, palm tree-covered white sand island is known as one of the most spectacular recreational fisheries on the planet, offering world-class saltwater flats

SUN VALLEY SOURCE

fishing as well as deep sea fishing opportunities beyond its surrounding reef. Giant trevally, bluefin trevally, golden trevally, milkfish, triggerfish, a variety of reef fish and the ubiquitous bonefish swim the 150 square miles of ankle to waist deep water encapsulated in the island’s inner lagoon.

In fact, by some estimates, the bonefish population of Christmas Island outnumbers the human population of 7,400 by roughly 100 to 1.

ANGLING TOURISM Kiritimati’s primary export is copra, a product of the numerous coconut palm trees that blanket the island, but in recent history, angling tourism has become central to the atoll’s economy. Anglers, most commonly fly fishermen, travel to the island on a weekly Fiji Airways flight that originates in Honolulu. Once on-island, visitors are transported to their lodgings which are mostly spartan rooms that offer basic amenities as a base for long days wading the inner lagoon in search of the various piscatorial target species.

Recently, thanks to an exclusive joint venture between the Kiribati government and an American partnership headquartered in the Northern Rocky Mountains, Christmas Island Lodge (formerly the Captain Cook Hotel) is being renovated, remodeled and upgraded to serve as Kiritimati’s premier lodge offering catering specifically to adventurous anglers from across the globe.

In addition to the comprehensive renovations of the 12 private oceanside bungalows complete with thatched roofs, air conditioning and en suite heated showers, the lodge is now connected to the new solar electrical grid which was installed by the Kiribati government in advance of the pandemic.

LAUNCHSITE Among many advantages offered by Christmas Island Lodge over the few existing lodging options on the island is the private boat launch on the inner lagoon which has been established during the country’s pandemic closure.

This launchsite, adjacent to the lodge’s private swimming lagoon, allows Christmas Island Lodge guests to be the first in and the last out of the back of the inner lagoon where the most desirable fishing opportunities exist. This launchsite is only permitted to Christmas Island Lodge guests and eliminates the lengthy drive and boat trip from the other lodgings located in Tabwakea, London and Poland on the west side of the atoll.

The lodge’s location on the outskirts of Banana, a small village on the north central reach of Kiritimati, is most proximal to the airport and the highly coveted fishing destinations of the Korean Wreck and Huff Dam. This allows for minimal vehicle travel and a maximum of fishing hours each day. Additionally, with the advent of the Starlink global internet system, lodge guests will have unequaled internet connectivity while enjoying the sunset and fresh lobster and sushi appetizers each evening after long days on the flats.

WEATHER Regarding the best time of year to visit Kiritimati, due to its location near the equator, weather varies little with temperatures only fluctuating by approximately 1 degree over the calendar year and settling comfortably in the mid-80s during the day and the mid-70s at night.

As global tourism is steadily returning to prepandemic norms, international travelers are increasingly returning to exotic destinations like Christmas Island.

And though, for most of the world, Christmas is celebrated just one day per year, adventurous anglers can celebrate Christmas everyday in the Republic of Kiribati which might very well end up being the holiday of a lifetime.

or 15 years, The Valley Club has proudly held certification as an Audubon International golf course, a testament to its unwavering commitment to environmental responsibility. This year, the Club takes its dedication a step further with the exciting establishment of a dedicated monarch butterfly garden. This initiative transcends mere beautification; it stands as a powerful symbol of The Valley Club’s profound dedication to environmental stewardship and the crucial cause of biodiversity conservation.

The iconic monarch butterfly, renowned for its awe-inspiring annual migration across North America, faces a troubling decline due to habitat loss and the effects of climate change. The Valley Club recognizes the vital role these magnificent creatures play in maintaining a healthy ecosystem, particularly as milkweed, the sole food source for monarch caterpillars, dwindles at an alarming rate.

By creating a haven specifically designed for these threatened butterflies, The Valley Club aspires to inspire others to join the fight for the preservation of our planet’s natural world. Envision a vibrant tapestry of blooms attracting a flurry of pollinators, with the graceful wings of monarchs flitting through the air. This visionary garden serves as a powerful testament to the transformative power of collective action. Together, we can preserve Earth’s breathtaking beauty and ensure its rich biodiversity thrives for generations to come. S

ichelle and Michael met in Boise after several years of almost crossing paths in other cities. They matched on a dating app during quarantine and decided to get together one Thursday night for a drink. Exactly one year from that night, Michael proposed and Michelle delightedly accepted.

The decision to have the wedding in Sun Valley was one of the easiest wedding planning choices that the couple would make. In addition to being a special place to the groom’s family, both Michelle and Michael loved spending their weekends in Ketchum and couldn’t imagine a more beautiful place to say their vows.

Their late July wedding ceremony was held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Ketchum. Guests were treated to the gorgeous mountain views seen through the large windows over the altar and the church was elegantly decorated with delicate

flowers and greenery. The bride and her father walked down the aisle to the classic Bridal Chorus played by a string quartet.

Following the ceremony there was a cocktail hour on the lawn at Sun Valley’s historic Trail Creek Cabin before dinner was served under the timeless white pavilion tent. The bride enlisted the help of a watercolor artist to create cocktail signs, place cards and menus that fit the theme of the day – rustic mountain beauty meets classic English garden party. The stunning florals at the church and at Trail Creek invoked the sense of garden party in the mountains, and guests were asked to dress accordingly in blacktie-optional with a little western flair. Fittingly, the bride wore a gown by London based designer, Emilia Wickstead, and paired it with a veil and gloves from local Ketchum bridal boutique, The Manor House.

The bride and groom shared their first dance to Neil Young’s Harvest Moon before guests joined them on the dance floor.

As the night was winding down, the couple made their getaway in the groom’s classic Porsche 911. They didn’t have far to go however, as they’d invited guests to meet them at The Casino to finish off the night. S

tacie and Slater Trout now call Hawaii home, but they returned to Slater’s multi-generational family ranch in Ketchum, Idaho for their summer wedding celebration.

The groom’s parents and many other relatives have all been married on the family property, so Stacie and Slater felt they were destined to follow family tradition and do the same. To incorporate some Hawaiian culture into their western wedding, the bride and groom exchanged custom leis that were made on Maui and flown to Idaho for the special day. Slater and Stacie created the ultimate western wedding atmosphere when they surprised guests with a mechanical bull! Between bull riding and hitting the dance floor, their guests could enjoy warm blankets & small campfires throughout the property.

Prior to the wedding day, Slater and his groomsmen removed two 70+ year old doors off of their barn and propped them up with string lights and a custom S+S sign as a photo backdrop for guests.

They offered a fun Polaroid table with a photo book for guests to tape their Polaroids in and write their best wishes for the bride and groom.

Slater and Stacie also decided to DIY their own wedding arbor using old fence posts they found lying around the property. They constructed a traditional rectangular arbor, stained it a rich brown color and added a boho macrame decor piece to drape down the frame. The arbor was adorned in beautiful flowers and pampas grass from Tara Bella Flowers.

The dance floor was another hot commodity with the groom Slater even tearing his pants from dancing so hard.

The entire evening felt like a small town rodeo festival with music, bull riding, 2 step dancing, good food, and campfires.

A day the Trouts and their guests will never forget. S Wedding Planner: Unveiled Hawaii Photographer: Liv Shaw Floral Design: Tara Bella Flowers SUN VALLEY SOURCE

BIKE PATH The Wood River Trails Bike Path starts in Bellevue and ends just north of Ketchum. This smooth, paved path has scenery all the way and is open to foot traffic, bikes, dogs and skates. In the winter season it is groomed for cross-country skiing. Sorry, no motorized vehicles. Take this trail and leave the car behind!

BALD MOUNTAIN HIKING & BIKING TRAILS

COMING WINTER 2024/25 Our multi-year improvement plan continues with the replacement of the Seattle Ridge chairlift with a new Doppelmayr 6-pack. The new lift will increase uphill capacity in this area by 20% and improve skier circulation across the hill. For more information on the Seattle Ridge Lift Replacement Project, visit futureofsunvalley.com.

The difficulty ratings assigned to trails at Sun Valley are based on difficulty relative to other trails on the same mountain. Users of all ability levels should begin with easier trails before advancing.

This map is an artistic representation and may not accurately reflect the contours or dimensions of the resort or its specific areas.

Bald Mountain Trails The Bald Mountain trail network, with both downhill and cross-country trails, is perfect for intermediate to advanced mountain bikers. These trails are technical and rugged, requiring good physical condition and experience, and are also shared with hikers and trail runners. For newcomers, we recommend starting out on our beginner-friendly White Clouds trail system (see map on reverse).

Lupine Trail

Trail Use: Downhill biking Length: 2.1 miles Level: Easier Trail Type: Single Track Total Descent: 723' Description: A fast, flowing traverse with some optional airtime, this trail can be lapped via the Broadway Trail and Christmas lift.

Broadway Trail

Trail Use: Multi-directional hiking & biking Length: 2.2 miles Level: Easier Trail Type: Cross-country Total Descent: 715' Description: Use this high-speed traverse on the backside of Bald Mountain's bowls to make laps on Lupine Trail. Be aware of hikers and the occasional uphill rider.

River Run Trail

Trail Use: Downhill biking during hours of operations Length: 3.4 miles Level: Easier Trail Type: Single Track Total Descent: 833' Description: More traditional singletrack than freeride, these shady "switchberms" offer the easiest descent to River Run Plaza. Connect from Warm Springs via the Traverse Trail or join with Mindbender or Pale Rider for a fast downhill experience.

86

SUN VALLEY SOURCE

Mindbender Trail

Trail Use: Downhill biking Length: 3.5 miles Level: More Difficult Trail Type: Jump Trail Total Descent: 1334' Description: Mindbender boasts the biggest jumps in the entire valley. With multiple options to connect you to River Run base area, you can enjoy the scenic views and flowing berms all day. For the easier way down, connect to River Run Trail. For a rowdy downhill, black diamond riders can connect to Pale Rider.

Saddle Up Trail

Trail Use: Downhill biking Length: 2.5 miles Level: More Difficult Trail Type: Jump Trail Total Descent: 1035' Description: Starting from the top of Bald Mountain, this advanced route requires some know-how. Saddle Up is stacked with large jumps and steep berms.

Pale Rider Trail

Trail Use: Downhill biking Length: 1.2 miles Level: Most Difficult Trail Type: Technical Jump Trail Total Descent: 530' Description: Pale Rider is steep, fast, and expertly "new school." It incorporates both natural elements and manmade jumps and drops, making it a bit of a technicalmeets-freeride hybrid. Undeniably rougher than Bald Mountain's other trails, including natural rock sections, this trail is recommended for advanced riders only.

Warm Springs Trail

Trail Use: Multi-directional hiking & biking Length: 8.3 miles Level: More Difficult Trail Type: Cross-country Total Descent: 2396' Description: A roller coaster ride through the wooded backside of Bald Mountain, including a half-mile climb to Little America Point, this trail ends during a fast, shaded descent down to Warm Springs Plaza. Return to River Run Plaza along the Wood River Trail. For a combined 22-mile cross-country loop (best ridden clockwise), connect from Cold Springs Trail, starting near St. Luke's Hospital. Or lastly, take the lifts to the top of Bald Mountain for a scenic downhill-only ride. This trail is not patrolled or swept—use at your own risk.

Cold Springs Trail - CLOSED

Trail Use: Multi-directional hiking & biking Length: 6.7 miles Level: More Difficult Trail Type: Cross-country Total Descent: 2579' Description: A sunny traverse across the backside of Bald Mountain, this trail is highlighted by a constant, rolling grade with some rocky sections. Connect to Warm Springs Trail for a combined 22-mile cross-country loop (best ridden clockwise), coming back along the Wood River Trail. This ride is also great as an up and back or lift-accessed downhill-only ride. This trail is not patrolled or swept—use at your own risk.

Bald Mountain Trail

Trail Use: Hiking & uphill biking Length: 5.5 miles Level: More Difficult Trail Type: Single Track Total Ascent: 3240' Description: A challenging 3000+ foot climb is used primarily by hikers. Start at River Run Plaza and hike to

Lookout Lodge is perched 9,100 feet high at the top of Bald Mountain. Although the lodge is closed for the summer, you can pack a family-style lunch and enjoy the views from the outdoor picnic tables.

Restrooms are available. Accessible by lift access, hiking, or biking. sunvalley.com/dining

GETTING UP While you can hike or bike up Bald Mountain from multiple points, the only lift-served access is located at River Run Plaza (tickets available at the River Run Ticket Office). From here, you can load your bike on our state-of-the-art gondola, traveling 2,000 vertical feet in eight minutes, to The Roundhouse restaurant.

Perched 7,700 feet high, The Roundhouse is a great stop for lunch, a beer, or quick photo-op. You can load your bike on the Christmas quad chairlift all the way to the top, or take a few laps on the lower half of the mountain. The last ride to the top for bikers, on Christmas chair, is at 3:45pm.

inally a movie made about our ominous destruction of our planet that offers life changing real actionable steps. The movie doesn’t end with Manhattan sized chunks of ice falling into the warming oceans.

It is encouraging to watch thousands of acres of desert becoming carbon sequestering paddocks that create their own weather. For the first time one does not want to slit their wrists from utter depression. Regenerative agriculture brings Rain to the desert. And returns deadened soil from decades of mono cropping back to fertile land.

The earlier we introduce our chil-

dren to the underground universe of soil and the very cool bugs that work their magic there, the easier we can change our current damaging grand scale food production.

Early education makes all the difference in this world. The earlier a child learns to read, learns to connect to others, and learns to organize their thoughts, the sooner they will be out in the world making changes for themselves and others. We hope in a better way. Their exposure to glyphosate, insecticides and defoliants are endocrine disrupting, lowering sperm count while increasing uterine and breast cancers. The resulting foods Photo courtesy of Squash Blossum Farm

grown in this chemically altered soil have little nutrition, adding further insult to the developing child.

Regenerative agriculture practices can help create healthier, more resilient environments for plants to thrive.

Different plants release different carbohydrates through their roots, which microbes feed on and return nutrients to the soil and plants. This helps create nutrient-dense soils that lead to more productive yields.

HOW IT WORKS Regenerative agriculture is a combination of sustainable innovation and traditional practices that aim to restore soil health and the planet’s ecosystems. It can help improve soil, increase productivity, and produce high-quality food. Regenerative agriculture practices include: No-till: Reduces soil erosion and allows water to seep into the soil Cover crops: Reduces soil erosion and water pollution, and increases water retention and biodiversity Crop rotations: Lower pesticide use by giving the soil time to recover Grazing practices: Increases vegetation and protects water sources Intercropping: Planting multiple crops together

Agroforestry: Integrating livestock, crops, and trees

The high mountain desert that we live in can also be regenerated through these agricultural changes.

While we cannot bring back the sixty million Buffalo that once roamed the greater United States nor the fifteen feet of lush topsoil created by those cloven hoofs, we can bring back sufficient soil by implementing these regenerative practices.

How can we help? Support all our farmers and ranchers who use these practices.

And we have plenty here to support.

Below are but a few:

Pick up a copy of the Wood River Valley Locally Grown Guide and read all about the farmers, ranchers and gardeners in our area. Find out who they are and how to purchase their products and encourage others.

It doesn’t matter where one starts, it matters how far one has journeyed. S

Support local this summer!

S

ummer in Sun Valley is for savoring. We have cool rivers, long days, engaging events, and arguably, best of all, an abundance of local food! Our area’s diverse farmers, ranchers, and artisans produce just about anything you might have a craving for. They work hard so that we can all enjoy a taste of what Idaho offers.

Local food is not just about flavor (though that’s a big part); it’s a transformative force that reshapes our economy, relationships, environment, and community.

According to Oregon State University, every dollar of local produce generates an additional 36 cents of sales throughout the community. When you buy local, you’re not just getting the freshest, tastiest produce; your dollars are circulated into the network of businesses that make our Valley unique.

CREATING CONNECTIONS Local food creates connections. The hands that place the carrot you just purchased into your bag are the very same hands that planted, tended, and harvested it. Understanding these connections can reveal more about the origins of your food than any label can convey.

By growing more of what we consume in our region, local farmers and ranchers shorten our supply chain and decrease our dependence

on imported food. Local farms grow crops and raise livestock selected to thrive in our high desert environment.

This variety helps local farmers adapt to climate disturbances and build resilience in our community.

Local food does all that, and it tastes fantastic!

BE A PART OF IT How can you be a part of this transformative force this summer?

Start with the Wood River Valley Locally Grown Guide. This one-stop resource is your portal to discovering locally-grown food. Published annually

by Local Food Alliance, a program of the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, the printed Guide and locallygrownguide.org contain information on the regional farms, ranches, restaurants, food artisans, beverage crafters, caterers, and organizations supporting our local food system. Pick up a copy of the Guide at any Sun Valley Source Magazine rack in the Valley!

Next, shop at the farmers market.

The Wednesday market at Forest Service Park in Ketchum, the Friday market at Itty Bitty Farms in Carey, the Saturday market at Roberta McKercher Park in Hailey, and the Tuesday mini-markets inside NourishMe in Ketchum, are all great opportunities to connect face-to-face with producers and pick up the freshest local ingredients.

Our Valley is lucky to have multiple grocery stores that prioritize stocking locally-grown products. Atkinsons’ Markets, conveniently located in Ketchum, Hailey, and Bellevue, carry a wide selection of local products. In Ketchum, NourishMe, Village Market, and Ketchum Kitchens are other great places to find local products. Further south, check out Café Della in Hailey, the Itty Bitty Farms store in Carey, and BlueRock Market in Twin Falls.

Throughout the Valley, you’ll also find many restaurants where chefs honor and elevate locally grown ingredients on their menus. Look for the restaurants with a Golden Basket in the Wood River Valley Locally Grown Guide. These establishments use ingredients from 10 or more local producers.

This summer, make it a priority to eat local food at every opportunity. Your commitment will lead to a more robust, vibrant Wood River Valley area and the most delicious meals of your life! S SUN VALLEY SOURCE

Artful & Delicious

By Judy Stoltzfus

f presentation is everything, then Mr. Dee has got it all. Each time a dish comes out of the kitchen, it’s almost like experiencing live theater. The colors and textures of each plate served is its own work of art.

Ramen is new on the menu at Mr. Dee with several different mouth-watering bowls to choose from.

With a full bar, Mr. Dee is the perfect place to meet for Girls’ Night Out or any celebration. The private room and the sun room offer an intimate setting for friends and family. Call ahead to reserve those spaces.

Dang and his wife A Chanthasuthisombut, also own Dangs Thai Cuisine & Sushi Bar in Hailey. Dang was recognized in 2023 as Idaho’s Small Business Person of the year. An honor given to only one business in the whole state per year. In January 2024, he was awarded the key to the City of Hailey by Mayor Burke, but he is never too busy to make you feel welcome and appreciated at Mr. Dee. S
