The days are getting shorter, the nights are getting colder and there is snow on the mountain peaks surrounding the Wood River Valley. As summer turns into fall, SVHS is proud to announce that after 16 years, Jay Levine is passing off the Ownership Torch to his long-time Operations Manager and partner Alex Kittrell. “I can’t believe I have been part of this amazing Company for the past 16 years, it certainly has flown by. It has been a privilege and a pleasure to serve this community for all these years. I am highly confident that Alex will continue the legacy of this high-quality operation,” said Levine.

“I look forward to the next phase of Sun Valley Heli Ski’s future. We cherish the relationships we have developed over the years and look forward to building new ones, both on and off the slope” said Kittrell.

Alex will bring in some new changes, such as an updated website and other improvements, to make our guests’ experience that much more special. The entire staff will be returning, including our long-term pilot Chris Templeton for his 15th season with Sun Valley Heliski.

Sun Valley Heli Ski

This is the best-kept secret in heli-skiing…

The legendary ski town of Sun Valley, Idaho is rich in ski history. America’s first ski resort was built in 1936 near the historic mining town of Ketchum and it has been an iconic American ski resort ever since. Generations of families and adventures have been coming here to ski for 75 years.

Sun Valley is also the birthplace of helicopter skiing in the US. Our company was the first heli-ski operation in the US, and with one of the largest permits of back-country terrain, Sun Valley has endless skiing and riding options. While Sun Valley is known around the globe for its incredible service and family friendly community, few know about the enormity and quality of the back-country skiing in the Sawtooth, Pioneer, and Smoky Mountains – accessible right behind the resort.
