As Geni and I leave our IDHOME behind, it brings back a flood of memories of living here 14 years of our lifes!Our son was 3 years old when we moved here in 1980, he learned how to hunt and fish here and he was quite good at it as I later found our he use to cut school and go fishing! He also learned how to ski here. Sun Valley really treats its kids good they all get a free ski pass or they used to and instead of study hall they would all ski on Bald Mt which is a world class ski resort. He also learned how to swim here and he was in Karate from 3years old to 12 years old and was also very good at that, he reached a level of Brown Belt advanced, which is one level from a Black belt!
The town looks very little to once was a small ski town with a few trust fund babies, to a town with 5 star hotels and a home to the wealthy! It really reminds me now of Jackson Hole !

| Redfish Lodge, spend many a weekend here with the family |
Its called Redfish because the Red Sockeye Salmon would just cover the lake in Red when they spawned. We got to see that back in the 1980's now they have a fish hatchery nearby and they don't even go as far as the lake anymore.
