SUN VALLEY, Idaho

SUN VALLEY, Idaho

Sun Valley was America's first luxury, purpose-built winter resort. It is a seasonal home to the rich and famous who flock to the luxury lodges at the foot of the slopes. Along the walls of the Sun Valley Lodge you'll find photos of Clint Eastwood, Gary Cooper, Ernest Hemingway and a smattering of Kennedies. Until recently, Bruce Willis owned a mountain here - Soldier Mountain ski area just west of Hailey.

Who to see: Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Larry David and Demi Moore.

Apres-ski: Sun Valley has a rowdy apres scene, but for a more sophisticated evening you take a horse-drawn sleigh ride from Sun Valley Inn to the romantic Trail Creek Cabin for dinner.

Where to stay: In the Sun Valley Resort's Dollar Cottage - a sprawling six-bed, six-bath home with a wood burning fireplace, a marble kitchen and hot tub on the deck overlooking the lake for $1,700 p/n.
