The Dorworth Report

By Dick Dorworth

February 3, 2012

It was clear, cold and beautiful, a classic day in Sun Valley. Skiing continues to be excellent on Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, the Nordic trails and in the backcountry. These are good times for Sun Valley skiers of all disciplines. Baldy groomers are the best groom skiing in the country right now, and the best we found this morning was Ridge South Slopes, Canyon, Warm Springs and Graduate.

The backcountry avalanche danger is rated MODERATE everywhere, but the pros are recommending caution and attention, particularly in steep terrain at higher elevations. Phone 622-8027 for the daily advisory. Nordic skiing is excellent everywhere, all the trails are open and most of them are freshly groomed. The Boulder Course closes today at 4 p.m. for tomorrow's race preparation. Phone 579-9754 for the latest Nordic grooming report.

This from Bodhidharma: "Not engaging in ignorance is wisdom."
