Sun Valley Resort in Idaho is the first U.S. ski resort certified by DarkSky International, on the edge of the Central Idaho Dark Sky Reserve. The same cold, dry air that makes for great skiing also delivers long, clear, stable winter nights perfect for stargazing. Ride the new "Stars Over Sun Valley" gondola and astronomy experience this ski season.
