Sun Valley Recap

North Penn Ski Club had 37 participants for the 2026 Western Carnival at Sun Valley.  The sky was sunny and the slopes were fast!  No new powder but plenty of manmade snow to make conditions tolerable.  Everyone enjoyed the beauty and history of the Sun Valley Resort and the beauty of the surrounding mountains and the town of Ketchum.  The slopes , both Baldy and Dollar Mountain, were enjoyed by all.  The hot tub and pool were a big hit as well. Many enjoyed a luncheon at the historic Roundhouse Restaurant, midway up Baldy Mountain.  North Penn took second place in the race with our #1 team.  The #2 team disqualified.  The Gala was held at the Sun Valley Nordic Club, aka the Golf Club, which was an excellent venue and possibly the best Gala food ever!  Our very own Bill Bracy won the prize for best male costume with his “Chunk Norris” costume!  Stu Gillard staged and took our group photo.  We had some luggage issues, especially on the return trip, but ultimately everyone got their belongings some a day or two late.
