Family getaway!



Just a peak into what’s in My Suitcase for a ski Trip! Black North face jacket here, Ralph Lauren ski pants sold out, Miss ski patrol thermal shirt old, Victoria secrets sports bra here, black leggings here and fun ski sock!




Dollar Mnt. Is my youngest son’s Favorite ski Park in Sun Valley ,While the Big boy’s like to go Ski at Sun Valley, so we go to both. Here we’re skiing Dollar but the Big boy’s skied the main part of the day at Sun Valley then Joined us!



The details in the lodges at both resorts are simple stunning….Here’s a sample of just the smallest detail, a sun in the handles in the bathroom!!!


Just chilling watching my boys in the park! That’s one of the things that’s nice about this resort is you can sit on the patio and see the kids! This was the Day we arrived the boys just wanted to hit the slopes! I knew I had plenty of day’s to do that!


Sunday Morning coffee , Fire and Stuffed croissants! A peaceful morning while the boys all slept!

Saturday was our son’s 14th Birthday! Our Family tradition is to Wake up to treats and presents…and of course I had to bring a touch of birthday celebration with us! We Come to Sun Valley around this time every year and it’s one of his favorite trips!


Taking some Runs with the Birthday boy!


The lodge at Sun Valley Idaho….Sinclair Oil does everything with Class! They own both of the resorts in Sun Valley and Snow Basin in Utah. From Beautiful chandelier’s to cozy sitting area’s to Fabulous food. You could just sit and enjoy the comfort while people watching!


Stunning views from the gondola! Sneaking a run with my cute hubby!

Beautiful pit stop at the historic Round House for a drink and a little break! These are some very long runs we’re pooped! My girlfriend and her daughter joined us on this trip and it was so fun having some girl’s around! (please don’t mind my helmet hair!)

This is a peek at the inside of this cool historic Round House sitting in the middle of the slopes at Sun Valley. Inside and outside 5 star dinning. (also Open at night for dinner while viewing the stars!)


Sun Valley has a ton of Fabulous restaurants and bars! We loved the Cellar so much we ate there twice! Smoky Mountain Pizzeria grill was our son’s Birthday dinner pick! (we go here every year!) Some other Favorite’s are The Pioneer Saloon( No kids allowed), The Sawtooth Club, The Bigwood Bread cafe (this is one of my favorite Breakfast or mid afternoon coffee and sweet treat places) Below I featured Kneadery which is a great county type Breakfast! One of my hubby’s favorite stops is Konitorei in the Village at Sun Valley resort serving European coffee & desserts!

The town is so cute and has a ton of Fun Gift & Clothing shop’s we enjoy browsing and shopping in! Sharon and I spent way to much money! LOL!

Even the Starbucks is eye candy! Every wall is covered in logs and vintage photo’s!



The Kneadery is Open for Breakfast and lunch only! A perfect stop on the way out of town! Everyone enjoyed their breakfast and was full for the 4 hour drive home!
Ok… so I know your asking WHY did you go on a ski vacation…. When you live in a ski town? ….. Well we really don’t live in a REAL ski town! We have 3 cool Ski resorts and a lake, tons of hiking and its strikingly beautiful … But we don’t have a village, a tons of restaurants or a night life and most of ALL the break my hubby needs from RACE course Setting & TEAM coaching…His office is the slopes 6 months out of the year! The different terrain is refreshing and it’s one of our favorite ski towns! (Not to mention our Ski passes work in Sun Valley! How cool is that!!)
I hope you enjoyed a little peek into our family’s getaway and maybe you might want to check out Sun Valley the next time you want to go on a Ski vacation!
Now off to plan a BEACH vacation…it’s been one long Winter! OX, D’Arcy
