Let it Snow Part 7

We may have been a bit thrown off with the recent 60 plus degree weather, but that doesn’t mean that winter isn’t coming soon. Finally, we are less than one month away from opening day on Baldy and ask anyone and they will tell you, it can’t come soon enough.

Extreme Makeover: Sun Valley

Makeover at Pure
We all love the outdoors in Sun Valley, and we all like to get down and dirty on the mountain. But that doesn’t mean we don’t like to get beautified every now and then. Good thing we have Pure’s free Martinis and Makeovers every Friday. Plum’s Della Sentilles and Ellen Bodal eagerly jumped at the chance to try it out.

Let It Snow Part 6

It’s beginning to look a lot like ski season. Everywhere you go there is snow, snow, snow, or something like it. Even, the snow guns on Baldy have been getting a bit of a work out and gearing up for the season.

Tasty Thursdays: Java

Baby, it’s cold, wet and ugly outside. Lucky for you, Java on Fourth gives a little comfort and warmth with its famous Bowl of Soul. This concoction of espresso, coffee and Mexican hot chocolate is sure to keep you warm and sweeten you up, which, face it, will make everyone around you happier.

Sun Valley Ski Swap

Need to outfit yourself to hit this slopes this winter? Head to the annual Ski Swap in Hailey this weekend and you will find skis, poles, boards and boots galore. Put on jointly by the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation and the Hailey Ski Team, this swap meet of sorts is a benefit for both groups to raise funds for tuition assistance and team operations.

"Doubt" Comes to Sun Valley

No doubt about it, Company of Fool’s performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play “Doubt” is not something to miss. “Doubt” centers around a principal, played by Jana Smith, who comes to believe that one of her teachers, played by Chad Smith, a co-host of this summer’s MorningNoon&Night show on Plum, has molested a male student; not a light subject, but sure to be an engaging show.

Shopping Around: Bellevue

This week on Shopping Around Sun Valley, we head south to Bellevue to explore the offerings of the South Valley’s quaint boutiques. Not often enough do those who live up north make the trek to Bellevue, but there are several little gems to explore. Here are a few of the fun things that Plum found while shopping around.

Sun Valley Gets Jazzed

Sun Valley will definitely not be quiet this week. The eighteenth annual Swing ‘n’ Dixie Jazz Jamboree is once again gracing us with its presence from October 17th through 21st. This year’s jamboree offers up a bevy of jazz performers to enjoy at thirteen different venues. Surely, there is something for everyone.
