  • Sun Valley Tpage.Cdr
    I. INTRODUCTION A Master Plan for the Sun Valley Ski Area was approved by the United States Forest Service in 1989. In 1991, Ecosign completed a study of the Sun Valley Resort area that included several concepts for the development of the Bald Mountain, River Run and Warm Springs base areas and expansions to the Sun Valley Village. This Mountain Master Plan update will be a logical extension of the previously completed and approved 1989 Master Plan, as well as the work completed by Ecosign in 1991. This updated Master Plan will incorporate changes in technology and market conditions that have occurred since the previous work was undertaken. Since the completion of the 1989 Master Plan, substantial lift, trail and snowmaking upgrades were undertaken by the Sun Valley Company. Furthermore, the improvements to the Warm Springs and River Run base areas (1996), have created a significant change in the distribution of skiers accessing Bald Mountain from the River Run base versus the Warm Springs base. .1 Location and Regional Context The Sun Valley Resort and associated ski facilities are located in the Smoky Mountains of south-central Idaho. The resort is located adjacent to the towns of Ketchum and Sun Valley, Idaho. Ketchum is situated on the banks of the Big Wood River. The Big Wood River flows from the Sawtooth Mountains, to the north, through the Wood Valley, and south to the Snake River. Ketchum is approximately 154 miles northeast of Boise, Idaho, 82 miles northwest of Idaho Falls, Idaho and 297 miles northwest of Salt Lake City, Utah, as illustrated in Figure 1.

  • August 17, 2020 Mayor Bradshaw and City Councilors City of Ketchum
    August 17, 2020 Mayor Bradshaw and City Councilors City of Ketchum Ketchum, Idaho Mayor Bradshaw and City Councilors: Recommendation to Adopt Resolution No. 20-017 Forming the Wood River Valley Wildlife Smart Communities Coalition Recommendation and Summary Staff is recommended the council adopt Resolution No. 20-017 and adopt the following motion: I move to adopt Resolution 20-017. The reasons for the request are as follows: • The Wood River Valley has experienced an increase in human/wildlife conflicts. • A meeting of key local stakeholders was called by Idaho Fish and Game in January 2020; attendees included elected officials and employees representing the cities of Ketchum, Sun Valley and Hailey, Blaine County Commissioners, the owner of Clear Creek Disposal, and staff from the Idaho Conservation League, Forest Service, Bureau of Land Management, and Fish and Game. • Stakeholders agreed to work collaboratively to implement strategies to mitigate human/wildlife conflicts in Blaine County through the formation of the Wood River Valley Wildlife Smart Communities Coalition. Analysis Blaine County, and specifically the Wood River Valley, is experiencing similar trends in population growth and increased human/wildlife conflicts that are occurring in other parts of the western U.S. Since 1970, the population of Blaine County has grown by 284%, from a small, rural population of about 5,800, to today’s population of 22,600. From July 15 to September 9, 2019, Idaho Fish and Game’s (IDFG) Magic Valley Region received 23 black bear reports from the Wood River Valley, resulting in two food-conditioned bears being euthanized. As of August 2020, the Region has received over 11 black bear reports from the Wood River Valley, with bears getting into unsecured residential garbage and one food-conditioned bear being euthanized.
