The slopes are a go: Sun Valley Ski Resort will open at 9 a.m. on Thanksgiving Day with five lifts operating on Bald Mountain and two on Dollar Mountain.

It’s the best and only option if you live in Southwest Idaho. Bogus Basin and Brundage are still waiting for more snow. Sun Valley is only three hours from Boise.

How much snow? Bald Mountain had a total of 14 inches as of Monday. Sun Valley has been making snow, too.

Hit the terrain parks: Baldy and Dollar mountains will have terrain parks operating with four medium park rails on Baldy’s Lower River Run and a progression park with nine rails on Dollar.

Food, too: Full restaurant and bar service will be available at River Run Day Lodge and Warm Springs Day Lodge, with Lookout Restaurant open for drinks and snacks through the weekend.

Carol’s Dollar Mountain Lodge will provide full service through the weekend then close until Dec. 10, when Dollar Mountain operations re-open for the season.
