Elkhorn Village - Sun Valley, Idaho
Start out a gold mining town, add healing hot springs, then top that with 'America's first destination ski resort' and you have a magic combination. Even Ernest Hemingway fell in love with and moved to Sun Valley where he completed 'For Whom the Bell Tolls', writing in the morning and hunting and fishing in the afternoon. This icon of U.S. ski resorts was the first in the world to build a chairlift, opened the world's first ski school and can match any community in the world for the number of citizens who have competed in the Olympics. Sun Valley has become an all season playground and offers everything you'll ever need for year round vacations, from downhill to heli-skiing, sleigh rides, to golf, fishing, hiking and horseback riding to name just a few, matching their motto – 'Small Town, Big Life'.
