Sun Valley Resort USA

In 1991, Ecosign was hired by the Sun Valley Company to take a fresh look at the ongoing upgrades and renovations to the United States of America's oldest destination resort: Sun Valley, Idaho.

In 1993, Ecosign completed Sun Valley’s Master Plan. Our team recommended replacing the Seattle Ridge triple chairlift with a detachable grip quad chairlift in a new alignment, shortening the Mayday Chair, installing the River Run beginner lift as a detachable quad chair, and adding a new lift, the Lookout Express, from the top of The River Run beginner lift to the top of the mountain. 

Our team collaborated with local architects to prepare the site plan for the award-winning day skier lodges and customer service facilities at River Run and at Warm Springs. Ecosign also recommended constructing the warming and dining facilities at the top of Seattle Ridge. The Sun Valley Company’s enthusiasm for these plans resulted in the construction of four of the most beautiful mountain lodges in North America. 

With business levels achieving new highs, Ecosign was hired again in 2002 to update the previous Master Plan for the next 10 years of improvements to Mount Baldy and Dollar Mountain. 

Ecosign was most recently retained by Sun Valley Company in 2020 to prepare plans for a renovation of the Sun Valley Village, including the potential to connect the Village with the beginner and children’s area at Dollar Mountain and Mount Baldy via a three-section gondola.
