Skiing and snowboarding are lifelong sports the whole family can enjoy while staying fit. Several years ago the ski industry realized that to stay alive, it needed to embrace the younger generation. Opening the slopes to snowboarders and new "ski and play" instruction methods has ensured a new generation of enthusiasts and made it easier than ever for parents to get their kids onto the hills.

If your family is looking for a charming ski resort that often caters to the famous, Sun Valley, Idaho is a great place for family fun and activity.

SUN VALLEY--SUN VALLEY, IDAHO

The country's first major ski resort has lost none of its charm over the years. The traditionally upscale resort offers families the chance to relax, enjoy the slopes and maybe even rub shoulders with the famous and well-to-do. Sun Valley pioneered the family-friendly atmosphere by being one of the first to offer cross-country ski runs designed exclusively for kids.
