When thinking of Sun Valley you immediately think about the best Alpine skiing on the planet, however Sun Valley boasts world class Nordic skiing throughout the Wood River valley. With 240 kilometers of groomed trails that the Sun Valley Company and the Blaine County Recreation Districts provides. There are trails for all abilities that include several trails for our four-legged friends; dogs might even like Nordic skiing better than their masters. From January 28th through February 5th, Sun Valley sponsors Nordic Week that includes a 33 kilometer race called the Boulder Mountain Tour and lots of other fun Nordic events. Sun Valley and Galena Lodge offer Nordic ski instruction to help get you on your skis quicker.  This is a great alternative to Alpine skiing, yet it is very complimentary to Alpine skiing in the sense of balance and strength. To learn more about the wonders of Nordic skiing check out the Blaine County Recreation District’s and the Sun Valley Company’s websites; www.bcrd.org and www.sunvalley.com/mountain/nordic
