Sun Valley - Idaho

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

Hi Lianne,
Back from Sun Valley today. Had a great time. Smaller field than Snowmass/Aspen but still heaps of runs and good conditions. On field facilities absolutely fantastic (5 star). Skiied 7 days out of 8, 5 in absolutely pristine conditions. Lift elevation 3200 feet so some big long runs. Mostly blue/black by NZ standards. Limited skiing in trees. Fresh snow on 3 days/nights. Didn’t manage to ski all the slopes. Some big bump runs that I also avoided. Very picturesque countryside. Good fly fishing. Hailey a modest/plain little village. Ketchum more upmarket. Lots of tv stars and big homes. Overall as good as (if not better than Aspen/Snowmass). Got you a few ski trail maps etc.
Cheers
Ross

Hi Lianne - just a quick email to let you know we had a great time at Copper - so thanks very much for all your help.  The snow and mountain facilites realy worked well for our family, the apartment was flash - oh, and we were lucky enough to get an upgrade on the flight to San Fran - so slept lying down - fantastic! 
Cheers, Jenny P

Roger tries snowboarding
Here is a rare event me on a snowboard!    I usually try snowboarding once every other year and only when the snow is nice and soft.   I have decided to actually  learn the sport this season and on Monday December 1st  conditions were perfect  at Copper,  the snow was  soft (mid-February condition)  everywhere on the mountain and surprisingly I only had a few  hard falls and could still get out of bed on Tuesday morning.
