Hello all! Today we've got another video in which Ellie and I head to Soldier Mountain. It was a beautiful sunshiney day and we almost had the mountain completely to ourselves. It was so fun to be there for their final day and share in the festivities!
Thank you so much for watching and I'll see you in next week's video!

    I grew up just South of Sun Valley. Started skiing there at age 9. I know every corner. Some of the best Diamonds I have ever skied are at Sun Valley. It’s known for its groomed cruising runs. But I have skied all over Europe and America and for steep expert bump runs if you’re lucky and can catch a fresh 3’ snow! Limelight, Exhibition, is the steepest wildest mogul runs you will ever ski! I have helicopter skied in Utah and Idaho. But the big ski resorts in my opinion are out pricing their clients. Sun Valley caters to the wealthy. When I was a kid locals could ski for $19. The lines were packed. Today a ski pass can cost $200. By the looks of your video there are very few people skiing. I think the resorts are starting to price people out. It is going to start cutting people out. Fewer customers no matter what you charge. Eventually no customers. I can’t afford to ski there any more. Who can take their family skiing every Saturday and spend $1000 of dollar every trip. I had 4 season passes there. In the 80s they were $800 I skied 96 days in 82. Today a season pass is $3000. Not sure what 24/25 season passes are now.

    I had a bad experience on the slopes in January of 2023--nothing but icy, hardpacked snow and way too runs in the shade. Bald Mountain is for advanced to expert skiers only. No one in our Chicago area ski group said they wanted to go back to Sun Valley in the future.

    Hi Aanika.. love your channel - you're such a good narrator and you make some fine-looking turns. Btw .. I have some friends that are pretty successful on UA-cam and I've learned that the "name is often the game". And I think your channel could grow much quicker if people can remember the name. Like if you had your channel name something like The joy of Skiing... Then people can remember oh I love that channel what was it called .. and then subscribe and tell others. You could still keep the channel you have but start a new channel with the same content and then if that channel goes faster you can refer everybody from your current channel to that channel. Aanika is such a lovely name and perfect for shredding. Yet if somebody doesn't get the spelling right it'll be hard for them to find it on a search engine. I'm just sharing this because you have such good content and I would love you to have a lot more subscribers. Plus I really love you showing us viewers different mountains .. I got over 200 Days in at Mammoth Mountain a couple years ago that was pretty epic. All the best to you.. ciao 4 now
