Sun Valley Getaway - Day Three

 Sun Valley - Day Three. Last full day here was an epic day on the mountain. I set two PRs: I clocked in at 52mph on Lower Broadway and I skied 53,600’ vertical! Honestly it feels incredible to know my body can still do this. No lines, mild temperatures, and giant groomers helped make this possible. Also - I think I have my ski legs back - they weren’t even screaming at me afterwards!

Ryan wasn’t up for another big day skiing, so I hit this one solo. I started a new audiobook and cruised the mountain, stopping for a delicious curry bowl at Seattle Lodge. There was a giant bank of clouds hanging around mid-mountain and it stuck around all day. It was gorgeous above the clouds, but difficult to ski through them with very low visibility. But you just have to take what the mountain gives when you are a skier… so I made the best of it and had a great day.
After skiing, I headed to The Gold Mine, a thrift shop with incredible ski and mountain town finds. I ended up scoring a couple great items and wish I’d had time to really search for more. Ryan and I met up for dinner at the Village Station near the SV Lodge. It was a great atmosphere and we even had a visit from the Christmas Carolers who were serenading the village. I also got a glimpse of the Sun Valley horses and sleighs and they are enormous! I slept well after all pushing myself all day and I’m so glad I made it out to Sun Valley!
