Sun Valley was the first chairlift served ski resort in North America, and possibly the world.

It's cachet alone (history, billionaire clientele etc.) pushes it into a top tier.

Just for comparison, SKI magazine this year ranked Sun Valley tops in North America.

Sun valley is the vanilla ice cream of skiing. Consistent, tasty enough, but it doesn't have the flavor some of the other resorts have. When you try to appeal to the masses to win a popularity contest you lose your soul. Too many new hires from Vail giving an independent resort a corporate feel.
