SVPN and our member real estate agents, contractors, and developers welcome you to issue #10 of SVPN, an award-winning publication. The snow has melted, the trails are clear (mostly), and your friends and neighbors in Sun Valley are going through the rituals of getting ready for summer. Some of these rituals involve pumping up bike tires, greasing chains, and putting in some saddle time to prepare for a great season of mountain

biking. This summer we welcome back the USA Mountain Bike Cross-Country Championships as a pinnacle part of the second annual Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival; in this issue we celebrate the chance to “worship the wheel, dig the dirt, and celebrate the cycle” that comes with this festival. Watch out Sun Valley—here comes the spandex! Other rituals for welcoming the summer include getting the house in order, or yard rather. Take a stroll around your neighborhood and see people raking up the stray leaves that were buried when that first surprise snow came, preparing beds for vegetables or perennials, and pulling out the stored patio furniture. The outdoor spaces we inhabit say so much about us; SVPN looks at three men working to bring good design to outdoor spaces in our article, “Titans of Imagination.” We also look at the ways Sun Valley inhabitants and businesses approach landscape in a place with limited water. We celebrate the caliber of design possibilities when looking to create water-smart landscapes.
And it must be mentioned that this summer will offer up a treat of the highest caliber—the San Francisco Ballet has put Sun Valley on its summer/fall tour schedule. Sun Valley joins the ranks of Moscow, Washington D.C., and London as a cultural destination for the arts. Read all about it in this and the July issue. And lastly, we offer insight into the current property market with input from our members. In our Market Outlook this month, Trent Jones, a partner at Hall and Hall, speaks to the investment trends in the rural, ranch, and recreational properties while other members speak to the uptick of activity in the high-end market. Don’t forget to check us out on the web! We have over 1,440 searchable property listings and a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about Sun Valley. Go to www.sunvalleypropertynews.com for all this, our dynamic blog, and more. And don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook! We hope you enjoy our June edition.

Ryan has lived in the Sun Valley area for 16 years, working as a teacher at Community School until recently when she signed on as editor at SVPN. She has an MA in Literature from Middebury College, currently sits on the board of the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, and is a rabid University of Kentucky basketball fan still celebrating after her team won the NCAA Championship in early April. For this issue Ryan wrote “Dig the Dirt,” a look at the Ride Sun Valley Mountain Bike Festival. Ryan’s most memorable mountain bike crash? Going ass over teakettle on Curly’s. Hurt, but met (for the 2nd time) my future husband that night.

For this issue, Kim introduces us to three titans of imagination and participants at The Center’s Wine Auction. Kim’s most memorable bike crash? T-boning her mother on a cruiser. Ambulance, broken collarbone, and guilt followed. Her mother holds no grudges at this time.

SIGN OF A RECOVERY Across the United States, there have been signs of economic recovery in the real estate market. Reuters named Sun Valley among The Hamptons, New York, and Aspen as one of the Top Ten Vacation-Home Markets in the United States. Take 114 Barlow Road for example as it just sold for $6.1 million. A sale at that price is a sure sign that the local real estate market has a pulse. Listed by Jason Sisilli of Coldwell Banker Distinctive Properties, this 7-bedroom, 8.5-bathroom custom home on 5 acres of riverfront property was under contract after just 53 days on the market. As Jason Sisilli says, “This is the highest home sale in the valley in two years. Not only is it the highest sale in two years, but the fastest. It was under contract in only 53 days and closed in 104 days.” Data courtesy of the Sun Valley Board of Realtors

It’s inevitable. Every year we have to say goodbye to another ski season. You know what else is inevitable? The end of the ski season is one of the best parties of the year. Neon is a must as celebrants flock to the Greyhawk parking lot to show the world a true tailgate party. RVs, Airstreams, and beat-up but full-of-personality VW buses line up to coral the revelers!

wheel girls Do you know where your teenage girls are? “Joyriding out some canyon” would be an answer that would make most parents a bit nervous. But if your daughter is a Wheel Girl, that answer lands a bit differently. Started by professional mountain biker Rebecca Rusch and supported by SRAM, Specialized, and Elephant’s Perch, Wheel Girls is a mountain biking program for 12-17 year-old girls. With the help of Karoline Droege, another accomplished athlete and avid mountain biker, Rebecca has helped many young girls get into the sport of mountain biking. Because Rebecca and Karoline understand the impact athletics can have on a girl’s life, they want to share their love of mountain biking with a younger generation of riders, and get them pumped up to ride and race. As Wheel Girls coaches, they instruct on the finer points of mountain biking like bridge crossing, wheelies, handling tight turns and more. But it’s not just about technical riding—it’s about joyriding!
To sign up for Wheel Girls, go to www.goldruschtour.com for the form or email karoline@rebeccarusch.com. (L to R): Coach Karoline Droege, Claire Siderman (behind Karoline), Emily Siegel, Coach Rebecca Rusch, Coach Susan Robinson, Luma Randolph, and Maranda Stopol.

dig
the dirt
You know it when you ride it. Good Dirt. And there’s plenty of it around here. So much so that it’s just bad manners to keep it a secret. With this in mind, Sun Valley has begun hosting a mountain bike festival that serves as an invitation to singletrack aficionados around the country. This summer, for the second year in a row, the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival will bring world-class racing to the valley—but hold on to your spandex—that’s not all that Ride Sun Valley brings. Clear your calendars from June 29-July 8 because you’re not going to want to miss these events. What’s that? You have a day job? Study the schedule, plan your lunch breaks accordingly or give your boss notice, and get your bikes ready to ride.
ABOVE: The fastest fat-tire riders in spandex come to Sun Valley for the chance to win the Stars and Stripes; OPPOSITE: Ride Sun Valley offers everything from the thrills and spills of elite level racing to raucous downtown good times. For anyone who likes great rides and good times this is a can't-miss week!

The centerpiece of the Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival is the USA Mountain Bike National Championships. The entities that now make up the Sun Valley Marketing Alliance worked with Sun Valley Company and the cities of Ketchum and Sun Valley to bid on a championship bike event and secured this highprofile event for 2011 and 2012. Kelli Lusk, USA Cycling National Events Director, said that last year’s event was “a major success.”
BY RYAN WATERFIELD • PHOTOGRAPHY JOSH WELLS
She reports that the racers “were thrilled with the hospitality in Sun Valley and are looking forward to coming back for this year’s event.” Kelli and Greg Randolph, Director of Public Relations for Visit Sun Valley and Event Director for Ride Sun Valley, agreed that they “learned a few things” from last year’s event and there would be some changes to courses. But overall, the entire event, from the pro and amateur racing to the concerts, the “Local Stoker Rides,” free shuttled (when necessary) rides guided by some of the local “ride-lebrities,” and everything in between, was a crashing success! At SVPN, we’re looking forward to the invasion of the bike junkies. Ride Sun Valley Bike Festival is our chance to worship the wheel, dig the dirt, and celebrate the singletrack.

Saturday, June 30 to Tuesday, July 3 Find out if you really are a bike badass in the Sun Valley All-Mountain competition. Take your combined times for the Galena Grinder cross-country race, the Super Duper Downhill, and the Fat Tire Criterium to see how you measure up.
GALENA GRINDER Saturday, June 30 | 9am For two decades, this marathon of a ride (45 miles) has earned its name and long been a favorite for riders. There is no registration the day of the event so if you are up for subjecting yourself to The Grinder, make sure you plan ahead. Oh yeah, you might want to start training now!
BALDY SUPER DUPER D Sunday, July 1 | 3-5 pm OK, here’s the deal: over 4,000 vertical feet of downhill and a bonus of 1,000 vertical feet of uphill. Baldy is super rideable with flowing hills and wicked turns. It’s fast. Super duper fast. Some things to chew on: this course has never been raced before; it finishes on Picabo Lane in front of Apple's and you know what that means—raging party afterwards. There's a even a skateboard contest at Apple's after the racing is done.
FAT TIRE CRITERIUM Tuesday, July 3 | 6-9pm What can we say? Biking in Sun Valley is not all about gut-grinding uphills or delirium-inducing downhills. No, we like to get our jollies with crazy costumes, beer gardens, and a twisting race course through downtown Ketchum. Do. Not. Miss. This.
The Idaho Pump Track Championships
Monday, July 2nd | 7–9pm
There’s a mini class for those biking babes 4 and under, a 9 and under class, a 13 and under class and an open/pro class. There’s something for everyone, and this is a great night out for families. sunvalleypropertynews.com

the icing on the cake LOCAL STOKER RIDES
Sure, these events are designed to introduce out-of-towners to the stellar riding around here, but that doesn’t mean that locals who already know the secrets of the singletrack aren’t welcome! Come one, come all! Fair warning: these rides are not for the faint of heart or those too familiar with their couch.
+ July 2
RED WARRIOR-GREENHORN GULCH 11 Miles, 1,500’ vertical, approx 3 hours Departs at 8:30 a.m. Free to the public, space is limited.

SUN VALLEY SHAKEDOWN
July 7th, 6pm, Festival Meadows, Sun Valley. In Sun Valley we like a good time as much as we like a good ride. The Shakedown will feature DJ Logic, The Dirty Dozen Brass Band, and JJ Grey & Mofro. Tickets are on sale now at www.sunvalleyshakedown.com.
RIDE SUN VALLEY insider’s tips COURTESY OF GREG RANDOLPH, RIDE SUN VALLEY EVENT DIRECTOR 1. Get pumped for the amateur course this year. The course will take racers along the Cold Springs/Warm Springs loop back to River Run. It will be epic. 2. Sign up for a Local Stoker Ride. It is the best way to see the trails and get a shuttle out and/or back. The Wood River Bike Coalition does an amazing job producing this offering. 3. Definitely don't miss the Fat Tire Criterium. There is a beer garden and a farmers’ market. Get there early and get a good spot to watch. Or better yet, get a team entered in the team relay. You will be bummed to miss out when you see it going down. 4. Watch the cross-country and super downhill courses right there at the River Run lawn and hang out by the two technical rock garden areas. Definitely great race watching.
CONSUMER EXPO
July 5-9 from 9am-4pm daily, River Run. It’s like Christmas for gearheads. Check out the bikes you’ve been dreaming about. Learn about new technologies. Or just dork out with other bike nerds.

water & landscaping BY DENNIS HIGMAN
in the wood river valley
It’s June and you know what that means: backyard barbeques, cocktail parties in the garden, precious moments spent with a good book in a favorite reading spot outside. Even though Sun Valley area residents spend countless hours outside skiing or boarding, playing, and socializing during the winter, when the days get longer and the temperatures a little warmer, it takes a lot to get denizens of this area indoors. You can imagine that residents of the Wood River Valley spend more than a little thought on their outdoor living spaces. This summer SVPN celebrates the variety of local landscape designs and the people who make those landscapes possible. We kick it off with a look at the use of water, a precious resource around here and the people and companies looking at water usage and landscape
ABOVE: The owners of this Gimlet home employed the experts at Native Landscapes to help them create a beautiful, serene, and intentional outdoor space; OPPOSITE: This Hailey home offers a low-maintenance but rich landscape.

Rapid population growth in the Wood River Valley since the 1970s and the dramatic increase in water usage have serious implications for, among other things, the expansive lawns and gardens we’ve grown to love. The good news, however, is that experts say there are a variety of ways to responsibly conserve water and still have beautiful, colorful gardens. Wendy Pabich of Hailey, who consults on water issues worldwide through her company, Water Futures, was instrumental in promoting the ongoing study by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) that concluded there is significantly less water in the Wood River aquifer than previously thought. With that in mind, she has been making an effort to curtail water usage in her own garden with guidance from Kelley Weston of Native Landscapes. “Like other people here, we inherited a lot of Kentucky

bluegrass which is a major water consumer,” Pabich says. “While we still have some grass, through zoning plants based on their water consumption, drip irrigation, and retaining water in the soil through mulching, we found ways to use water more wisely without sacrificing aesthetics.” This approach doesn’t require a lot of fancy technology, she points out, but rather a step-by-step conversion plan. Based on her experience, she has written a book, Taking on Water, which will be out in October, detailing how the lessons learned in her Hailey garden can be applied to larger landscapes. Kelley Weston, a Ketchumbased landscape ecologist and the founder of Native Landscapes, has more than 25 years experience in designing and building landscapes in the challenging climate of the Mountain West using indigenous and well-adapted species. The key to this approach, he says, is understanding the cycle of nature here, how sub-alpine grasses space themselves to get enough water and how altitude, moisture, and exposures (northern or southern) determine where plants and trees
will grow best. Inherent in Native Landscapes’ approach is an understanding of the different ecosystems that exist in this valley and a commitment to adapting those to their clients’ needs. Kelley says, “Our goal is to build beautiful, sustainable landscapes for our clients based on their needs and lifestyles, coupled with a deep appreciation of the natural environment so maintenance and water consumption can be kept to a minimum.” Webb Landscaping has pursued “best practices” since opening their doors in 1972, says CEO Steve Mills. “That means doing
things that are the most efficient and beneficial for the community commensurate with good design and customer satisfaction.” The company has consistently tried to stay ahead of regulations with innovative water systems, according to Mills. These include integrated irrigation systems, rain sensors which automatically shut down those systems, and “smart controllers” which distinguish the type of soil, location of plants, and can monitor water use remotely. “We also provide a complete line of drought-resistant plants and trees,” Mills notes, “such

Next year, in cooperation with the City of Ketchum, all irrigation, canal, and pond water within Weyyakin will be supplied by recycled wastewater piped in from the Sun Valley Water and Sewer District plant located across Highway 75. “This is the culmination of years of hard work and negotiation,” says Weyyakin General Manager Bill Nagel. “It’s the first project like this in Idaho,” he notes. “We’re taking a significant step forward in terms of water use without com-
promising quality. This is Class-A reusable water. It’s cleaner than the river, and the fish we’ve been testing in it are thriving.” Steve Job, the longest practicing landscape architect in the Valley (he established his Ketchum practice in 1978) has seen a lot of changes over the years. “The big question facing all of us here,” he says, “is how we can better introduce water conservation into current landscape design and still meet our customers’ needs.” Significant progress has been made, he notes. “Today we can save 40 to 50 percent of our water with modern irrigation systems. We have a host of native- and droughtresistant plants that thrive on less water and “inert” materials, gravel and decomposed granite, that can be used in creative, pleasing ways
and are gaining acceptance.” Job, who grew up in Berkeley, California where it rains 30-40 inches annually, never forgot the lesson he learned while getting his degree in landscape architecture at the University of Arizona in arid Tucson:“do more with less water.” Nor has he forgotten a lecture by a visiting professor about the growing importance of water conservation in landscape design across the West. The professor noted that our original landscape models all came from a

Job adds, “Fortunately, I think we’ve finally come to that same realization here in the valley and are taking positive steps to conserve our most precious natural resource, starting in our own backyard.”

age by 50-80 percent. These before and after shots of a Bigwood home speak volumes about the possibilities in water-wise landscapes. This home reduced water consumption from nearly 1.5 million gallons per season to approximately 300,000 gallons per season. Another project on Saddle Road went from using nearly 500,000 gallons per season to using 4,500 gallons per season. Not only do these landscapes reduce water usage (and how can we argue with the wisdom of that living in a high desert like we do?), but they also save maintenance time and money so you can spend more time relaxing in the landscape than maintaining it.
Let’s be honest: water usage isn’t the major motivator when most of us dream of our ideal landscaping. What we really want are spaces that reflect the way we live and the way we want to live. We want beauty and comfort, and most of us want to spend less time deadheading and weeding and more time riding our mountain bikes, fishing along the Big Wood River, or just relaxing in that beautifully landscaped yard.
Most of us probably assume that water-wise landscaping is boring, underwhelming, and uninspiring. Well, the work done by Native Landscapes runs contrary to that assumption. It’s never just about saving water. It’s always about great design and design you want to linger in. But the fact is, the numbers are compelling. A Native Landscapes’ design on average reduces water us-

behind the
documenting the legends of the west BY DENNIS HIGMAN • PHOTOGRAPHY DAVID STOECKLIEN
“Mammas, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys, don’t let ’em pick guitars and ride in old trucks,” goes the old country and western song made famous by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, “let ’em be doctors and lawyers and such.” Presumably, to the relief of his mother, David Stoecklein, who left Pennsylvania and moved west 43 years ago, footloose and seeking adventure, didn’t exactly become a cowboy. But he came very close. One million film and 300,000 digital images later more than 300 ranches and over 1,000 cowboys and cowgirls, 47 books, full-color coffee table books ranging from The Idaho and Texas and Montana Cowboy to The Paint Horse and The Western Horse and Cowboy Gear, feature calendars for the past 25 years, and innumerable holiday and everyday cards, Stoecklein is arguably the premier photographer of the American cowboy and his horse.

An affable father of three grown sons (Drew, Taylor, and Colby—all of whom grew up here but have left the valley to pursue their educations and passions elsewhere), Stoecklein still lives in Ketchum with his wife, Mary, whom he met in 1976 in Alta. He laughs when he recalls he had taken only one photography course before he dropped out of college and headed west to ski. First going to Mammoth and then Alta, he successfully financed himself by taking commercial lifestyle photographs of people skiing, hiking, biking, fishing, and playing tennis and golf for clients like Coca-Cola, L.L. Bean, Reebok and later Marlboro, Woolrich, Ford, Wrangler, and many others. As a sideline, Stoecklein began photo74

graphing some of the cowboys, ranchers, and farmers he met while on paid assignments in the rural West. “It was such a relief from the orchestrated set-up of commercial shoots to have the chance to get out there and meet real people in unstructured settings, talk to them, and learn about their way of life. I began to realize these folks were different from the rest of us. They had genuine ties to the land and animals, and it wasn’t just a job but a 24/7 thing. “That was what finally hooked me. I became fascinated with our western heritage. I set out to breathe life into it with my photographs, to preserve its traditions and images for future generations. And of course, the western horse is an integral part of that;

it’s the foundation animal of the West.” Although he still does a great deal of commercial work, what started out as a sideline has become David Stoecklein’s all-consuming passion: documenting today’s West, giving life to the modern equivalent of the mythical figure of the cowboy and his horse. “I like to think of it as preserving the West in my time just as other artists have worked to chronicle events in their time,” he says. “It’s like telling stories: river crossings, fixing fences, the big storm, herding cattle, hunting in the high country, riding back after a long, hard day and seeing the lights of home. People change, but the stories are the same. The challenge is to tell them well.” Fortunately for Stoecklein, America’s love
affair with the cowboy and his horse continues undiminished. He has been particularly successful in photographing the working western horse, typified by the American Quarter Horse whose speed, balance, and agility make it the premier cow pony. Stoecklein is reverent about our relationship with horses. “I believe horses have an intimate connection with people based on old memories going back thousands of years,” he reflects. “And even though our western horses are no longer strictly working animals for many people, they are still the same tough, versatile horses that settled the West, horses that can cut, rope, herd cattle, pack, and pull wagons and sleighs.” Stoecklein knows what he’s talking about.

For the past 25 years he’s owned a ranch near Mackay, ldaho, where he ropes, rides, and hunts for recreation. He has ten horses there, “a mixed bunch” as he describes them, including Quarter Horses, Paints, Appaloosas and Tommy the Mule who nobody rides. The ranch also serves as headquarters for his public photography workshops which have become a large part of his business in the past several years. “I’ve always represented Canon, so these workshops are a great opportunity for people at any level, including beginners, to learn about the latest in digital photography and try out cameras.“We have a dozen sessions scheduled this year in Texas, California, Arizona, Wyoming, and Idaho. We have a lot of fun together; to me it’s all about helping people learn to take great images.”
Dave’s next book, The Cowboy Horse, is expected out this October. Look for this beautiful 10”x12”, 96-page book at your local bookstores this fall. $50. FOR MORE INFORMATION www.stoeckleinphotography.com.
This is a hard-working, dedicated man. Between his commercial work, photographic seminars, and numerous cowboy/horse publications, he’ll be on the road over 200 days this year. Such a schedule might sound brutal to the rest of us, but to David Stoecklein, it’s not brutal because this isn’t work—it’s his life. David says, “I can’t live without taking pictures. My life consists of my family and my work. All day long I’m thinking about pictures; it’s my passion. I can’t imagine not doing it. I’ll never give it up.”

titans of inspiration
BY KIM FRANK KIRK
You might have heard about Ben Young’s stylish orange Dutchtub or of Nate Galpin’s illustrious World Cup snowboard career. Maybe you can imagine Dave Soares suspended from the 18th floor of a San Francisco skyscraper. Whether traveling across the country installing their art or behind closed doors deeply focused on a project, three multi-talented men let their work speak for them. They are often working in the solitude of their shops or studios, so you may not actually see much of them, but their uber-cool collaborative designs are creating quite a buzz throughout the valley.

Down a narrow hall lined with glass is a small office. A guy with Einstein-esque hair and a boyish face pulls away from his computer and opens the door. “Hi, I’m Ben.” The thoughtfully designed space evokes the spirit of Samuel Mockbee. Even the banana, grapefruit, and orange lined up on the countertop look purposeful and symmetric. “Tell me about your landscape work,” I say, with all the innocence of someone interviewing DaVinci about his plaster casting business. “Let me show you some stuff.” Ben opens the top drawer of a flat, wide metal filing cabinet. And suddenly we are not in Kansas anymore. Layers of work in progress, maps of large-scale conservation housing devel78

opments, designs of rock walls and pools, woodblock-like sketches of snow-mounded forests, timeless photographs of vanishing farms, and scraps of drafting paper with inkdrawn cell phone-arrows linking words and buttons. Ideas practically spill out onto the floor. Clearly this is no ordinary designer. BYLA stands for Ben Young, Landscape
Architect. But the name doesn’t begin to capture all that he does—sure he’s a landscape architect, but he’s also a furniture designer and overall problem solver. You may get to sit on a perfectly curved cement stool designed by Ben or set your mojito in the drink compartment of the bright blue Base Camp Planter at a party you’ll never forget.

ABOVE, LEFT TO RIGHT: Ben Young’s work is fresh and an eclectic mix of tradition and innovation; a collaborative project featuring work by Ben, Nate, and Dave.
His landscape and furniture creations range from urban rooftop gardens to classic French chateau-style estate plantings with rich green boxwoods to large-scale preserves reminiscent of E.H Shepard’s Hundred-Acre Wood. This diverse work is unified by a love of honest materials that engage with their surrounding environments. Ben was the kid with just picked blackberries, home-ground almond butter, and real bread in his school lunchbox. He worked alongside his father, an engineer with a fondness for fixing things. Post college, Ben helped restore barns and worked on an organic farm. He attended the Fox Maple School of Traditional Building. All this history comes together to form his guiding principal: authenticity. To demonstrate, Ben tears off a piece of drafting paper and quickly sketches a typical outdoor stone fireplace. “See this?” The shape is odd angles, like it’s been cut up. “People think that this is what the chimney is supposed to look like because they see it like that all the time—they see a cartoon of what they think a fireplace should be. But the farmer, or traditional mason, wouldn’t have built it that way. He would have done it like this.” He sketches a wide, symmetrically pleasing tall stack with large stones at the bottom, lighter stones on top. “This version is actually
buildable, it could be crafted. People have forgotten the story behind why things were made a particular way; we have often settled for copies of what is true.” Ben uses the memories of collected experiences and reflects them back to the client. It may be for a house, a garden, or an artistic creation. Even each region of the country tells and reflects a different truth. “The mountain West has a different story than the East. I have to use a different dialogue for clients here than for those on the East Coast. Each client brings ideas with them about what makes something desirable or beautiful,” he explains. “They know what they want; I just help pull it from their brain. It’s the acknowledgement of the story that makes for powerful design.” Whether sketching an idea for gorgeous and practical furniture or working out the best proportion of stone to moss, Ben’s sense of utility and art are inseparable. “It’s always art. Always craft. If you see something you love, chances are there is artistic value in it. Everything should have form and function— at the same time you have to let go enough to be artistic. What I like to do is craft things.”
ABOUT BEN
Lesson Learned: “Time. Things really do grow. Design with an eye toward the future.” Most Proud Of: “My sister, Anna. She has a rare lung disease and still played sports, graduated from college. She’s amazing. Always wants to help others and not give up. Her condition has worsened and she just got on the list at UCLA for a double lung transplant.” Greatest Project: “The one I can imagine, but haven’t done yet.” Influences: Many, including Tom Kundig, Dan Pearson, Andy Goldsworthy, and Samuel Mockbee. Three things on a deserted island: “Blueberries, a girl, and a boat.”

needed to be safe enough for children to hang on. When I priced out the parts, it was outrageously expensive. So I decided I’d just have to learn how to do it myself.” This guy is remarkable. There’s no stumbling block he can’t hurdle. Nate is driven toward an artistic vision and will stick with something until he figures it out. Doesn’t that take exceptional patience? Funny you should ask. Nate wasn’t always this unflappable. “When I first started metal working, I was still learning how the materials act,” Nate says. He pulls a rubber mallet from the shelf. “See this thing? I keep it around as a reminder. I was making a railing for our house. I measured everything then welded the parts together without tacking it. I didn’t know that without small tack welds, the shape will distort, and the geometry is lost. At installation it was SO far from fitting that I thought I’d measured wrong. I did the entire thing again without tacking it. To the same result. By then, I was pretty much frothing. I stormed into the shop, grabbed the mallet, smacking the table as hard as I could. It bounced back and clobbered me directly in the center of my forehead. Knocked me to the ground. For a week I wore that bright red two-inch circle on my face. The only response was to chill out.” At the entrance of the Tracy Aviary,
children clamor to turn the disc that makes twelve metal birds soar overhead in layers, spinning out in a diameter of almost 20 feet. The effect is dizzying, flashes of bright and grey silhouettes from above; dark shadows of birds fly underfoot. The interactive sculpture called “The Gyre” in a nod to Yeats, is one of Nate’s newest projects with a partner, Pete Beeton of the Colony Design Collective. Together they’ve created several sculptures for the park. Expansive projects like this one is exactly where Nate wants to be. “My goal is to get in at the master planning stage to have a creative project from a 65,000 foot view and seeing it through all the way.” Unlike these birds, Nate’s creativity is not tethered to any wire. His ideas and ability to accomplish them are limitless.

San Francisco Ballet is set to soar in Sun Valley this summer. San Francisco Ballet, considered one of our nation’s finest ballet companies, announces its summer 2012 tour venues: Moscow, London, Hamburg, Washington D.C., and Sun Valley. Huh? Yes, it’s true. San Francisco Ballet is coming to Sun Valley for a one-night-only performance on July 8. By all accounts this is a wonderful coup for our valley and a pretty good story in its own right—one that demonstrates the passion and pull of those in our community who have the vision and the determination to see an opportunity, seize it, and commit to creating a Sun Valley summer season complemented by world-class arts and culture.

LEFT TO RIGHT: Bob Smelick and Dan Drackett, the forces behind bringing SF Ballet to Sun Valley; San Francisco Ballet in Wheeldon’s Number Nine. © Erik Tomasson There are those of us who enjoy the arts and then there are those who are patrons. These dedicated philanthropists are vital to thriving arts and cultural institutions, especially in these trying economic times. Meet two of our valley’s behind-the-scenes movers and shakers, Bob Smelick and Dan Drackett, who are involved in a range of local activities and are personally responsible for bringing San Francisco Ballet to Sun Valley.
THREE YEARS IN THE MAKING Interestingly, the passion of both men for ballet grew out of their young daughters’ (each now grown) ballet studies. Bob Smelick’s daughter was in the San Francisco Ballet School for six years, giving him the opportunity to get to know the organization. He recalls thinking, “Here we are in San Francisco. Not only do we have beautiful views and weather, we have the Giants, the Opera, the Symphony, and one of the most respected ballet companies in the world—one of the jewels of the dance world.” Bob was asked to join the Ballet’s Board and became very involved, eventually serving as chair of several committees and vice chair of the Board. Being a homeowner and frequent visitor to the Sun Valley area, it didn’t take long for him to see the possibilities of a Sun Valley performance. “From the first time I sat in the Pavilion, I thought, wouldn’t it be fabulous to get the Ballet here.” In the summer of 2010, he persuaded SF Ballet Artistic Director and Principal Choreographer, Helgi Tomasson, and his
wife to make a visit to Sun Valley. He convinced Dan, whom he knew had experience with fundraising and a passion for the arts, to join him in a little enterprise to gain Helgi’s support for bringing the Ballet to Sun Valley. Dan had taken his family to see San Francisco Ballet’s The Nutcracker, had season tickets to the Cincinnati Ballet, and a daughter who danced classically in Phoenix and Aspen, so he was quick to jump on board. They strategically rolled out the red carpet: a tour of the area by Dick Fenton, a gondola ride to Roundhouse, dinner at Michel’s Christiania, and an evening at the Pavilion for a Sun Valley Summer Symphony concert—not just any concert, but the evening performance featuring violin master Itzhak Perlman. Dan gave
Helgi a grand tour of the Pavilion, including a trip backstage to meet Itzhak. “Helgi was very impressed by the receptivity of the audience, the acoustics of the Pavilion, and the quality of the Symphony orchestra,” recounts Dan. The plan to interest Helgi and his wife Marlene in the prospect of Sun Valley as an area that the Ballet should consider visiting was a complete success. The following week Helgi sent a production crew to Sun Valley to assess the stage and to talk through any challenges. The consensus of this group was a resounding yes: “We can dance here.” Scheduling challenges didn’t allow for it to happen that summer but the wheels were in motion. The stars aligned a year and a half later and a date was set for July 8, 2012. sunvalleypropertynews.com

A JEWEL IN THE CITY BY THE BAY What makes the San Francisco Ballet so good? Everyone associated with this Ballet Company points to one person: Helgi Tomasson, who has been the Artistic Director of the SF Ballet since 1985. His pedigree is stellar. He was one of the finest dancers of his time. Ballet greats George Balanchine and Jerome Robbins created ballets around him as the principal dancer. Helgi couples his dance experience with seemingly unending energy, talent, and commitment. Bob says simply, “No one is as energetic, creative, and innovative as Helgi.” Dan is also effusive with his praise, using words like “curious” and “prolific,” and noting Helgi’s concern with every detail of each production. He points to a recent dress rehearsal for Don Quixote. “Helgi was adjusting costumes, aware of every angle of lighting, and advising the seamstress of needed changes. He is extraordinarily careful about every detail, never assuming that the audience won’t see something. People less driven just don’t get to where he is.” With Helgi as Artistic Director, the San
88
sunvalleypropertynews.com
Francisco Ballet has been able to attract some of the world’s best dancers. He likes to have each season feature 30 percent new works, highly unusual in the ballet world where most companies favor trusted, known works. SF Ballet Principal dancer, Davit Karapetyan points to this and the Company’s repertory diversity as critical to attracting dancers to Helgi and the Ballet. “The Company performs many different styles, from classical to contemporary, and as a dancer, it’s very important to have the opportunity to perform a wide range of work.” Another magnet for dancers is that every year the Company is invited to perform in prominent dance venues around the world. This is important to Helgi as the Company and its dancers are seen and reviewed on the world stage of dance. These tours are also important because, as Bob points out, “Dancers are like race horses. They’re not happy when they’re not dancing and performing. Touring gives them the opportunity to dance in the summer and fall.” In addition to the Sun Valley Pavilion, the planned 2012 touring season also includes the Hamburg State Theatre, the Bolshoi Theater, Sadler’s Wells in London, and Washington’s Kennedy Center. For these two leaders, this San Francisco Ballet in Sun Valley performance not only provides residents and visitors an opportunity to see a world-class dance company perform, but also
adds breadth and richness to the spectacular summer arts and cultural happenings in the valley. “Sun Valley offers an incredible range of events in the summer, from concerts by the acclaimed Sun Valley Summer Symphony, varied events from the Sun Valley Center for the Arts, and the distinguished Sun Valley Writers’ Conference. This is yet another reason for people to experience this very special place,” said Dan. The sponsorship committee (led by Dan) also hopes to overshoot its fundraising goals so that meaningful grants may be made to a handful of local organizations that have been instrumental in making this performance a success.

In our April/May issue, SVPN celebrated the role the Sun Valley Center for the Arts plays in the lives of children and educators across the Wood River Valley. The vast majority of the money raised to support this incredible treasure comes from a single event: The Sun Valley Center Wine Auction. And, lucky for us, there are lots of opportunities to participate. From volunteering to attending the Vintner Dinners and Wine Auction Gala, or going to the rock-out community picnic—there’s something for everyone (with a valid ID of course). With wine events all weekend long, your ticket is both a donation and a pass to one of the best events of the summer. According to The Center, a successful wine auction depends on generous vintners, a dynamic chairperson, and a volunteer force of approximately 150 individuals. Here’s a behind-the-scenes ABOVE: A collage of Wine Auction moments.

THE VINTNER Leonetti Cellar, the first bonded winery in the Walla Walla Valley,
q: a:
came to their first Sun Valley Center Wine Auction in 1987. Since then, they’ve returned every year. Leonetti’s founder and winemaker, Gary Figgins, shares a bit of his story.
q: a:
How did you become a vintner? My grandfather, Frank Leonetti, made wine in the ‘40s. They had a 20-acre homesteaded piece from early the 1900s in Walla Walla. A true garden farm. When I was 6, I’d have a little wine mixed with water with dinner. When I was 10, a small glass of straight wine. The rest is history. Seeds were planted for my wine making. My wife, Nancy, and I started Leonetti Cellar in 1977. What do you love about your work? It’s a creative process, an artistic form. Science and Art. There’s so much to learn, a new adventure with every vintage. Also, I like that people appreciate us for creating a wonderful product.
q: a:
How did you get involved with the Sun Valley Center Wine Auction? First time was twenty-five years ago. They sent out invitations to various wineries to participate. We’d never been to Sun Valley before. Everyone was so great. They embraced our quality and us as people. It’s a good cause so we participate every year and always donate. What keeps you coming back? All the events. We join in with other wineries at the Vintner Dinners. The community picnic is such a fun time— a relaxed, casual atmosphere where we get to visit with winery friends and local friends. Wonderful people run the event. Each year we say: Wow, Sun Valley again.

Founding owners and European trained chefs, Scott and Anne Mason, saw a need for a restaurant that created food for special occasions but was priced for everyday dining. That niche they filled has made them a “must eat at” destination for diners since 1991. “We focus on homemade food, sourced from local farmers and ranchers whenever possible. We strive for simply-handled food, that is creative yet comforting.” says Scott. They have steaks—really really good steaks cooked on an applewood grill—but they offer so much more including fresh fish, homemade breads, desserts, pastas and soups. A highly-researched and Northwest-weighted wine list is just one of the Ketchum Grill’s many strong points. The Masons’ daughters are ambassadors for the younger tastes that have made the Grill a valley favorite for all these years.

SVPN is committed to bringing you monthly reports on the area’s property market. Our members have the experience and the vision to comment on a wealth of property types and market trends. For June’s Market Outlook, SVPN invited Trent Jones, partner at Hall and Hall, to share what he and his partners see in the rural, ranch, and recreational properties market. In 2011, Hall and Hall completed a company record $350 million in real estate sales, making Trent uniquely qualified to comment on this aspect of the market.
SPOTLIGHT ON RANCH INVESTMENTS Trent moved to Sun Valley with his wife Cecile in 1994. For eight years, Trent worked on behalf of the Idaho Nature Conservancy as Lands Program Director. During that time, he oversaw the chapter’s real estate activity around the state. His work with local communities and landowners to preserve working ranchlands and to resolve natural resource conflicts during his time at the Idaho Nature Conservancy gave Trent a wealth of experience to draw upon when he moved to Hall and Hall in 2003. Hall and Hall has nine offices and represents buyers and sellers across a broad geography from the Northern Rockies and Pacific 202

FROM TRENT
At Hall and Hall, we are noticing a few significant trends in the rural, ranch, and recreational properties market, and these trends suggest that savvy investors are increasingly looking to invest in this market. The economics of the livestock and farming industries continue to be strong, pushing prices of pure rangeland and farmland to high levels across the nation. There is little supply

hunting, and trout fishing in a completely private setting. Extensive water rights are used to raise primarily corn, which serves the dual purpose of covering annual operating expenses and providing important forage and habitat for the ranch’s abundant wildlife. At the end of the day, the biggest trend we are seeing is that buyers are coming from the wealthiest segments of society—individuals for whom an investment in rural land is a small on the market currently, and we suspect what part of a very large portfolio.

portunities will be. The 80-acre Twin Bridges Ranch off of Trail Creek Road near Sun Valley and the 62-acre Gardner Creek Ranch north of Stanley are gorgeous small ranches with recent price reductions; they are ideal retreat properties for the buyer who wants a place to relax, recreate, and experience the natural beauty of central Idaho. These properties feature excellent improvements, stream frontage, and public lands boundary and are also set up for horses. In talking with individuals across a wide spectrum from ranchers to major investors, it seems that there is a shared lack of confidence in the current global economic and political situation. People buy rural land for the long term—the future—and when the future is clouded, such a commitment is harder to make. However, for all of the reasons discussed above, we expect to see well-capitalized buyers continue to invest in high-quality farms and ranches in topnotch locations, such as Sun Valley and central Idaho. We also foresee that the broad inventory and discounted pricing of retreat properties will translate into more absorption in that segment of the market than we have seen for several years. Real estate in general (like some precious metals and commodities) is seen as a hedge against inflation. Prices for production properties and other rural lands that can be rented for crops will keep up given that they are tied to food production. Food prices tend to go up with inflation and world population is increasing along with enhanced diet demands. Facing the potential for inflation, people look to invest in hard or tangible assets such as gold and land. For more information

water cooler AROUND THE
Dick Fenton on The Fabric of Sun Valley “Recently I’ve had the good fortune to be involved with some transactions involving people who could buy anywhere but have chosen to buy in Sun Valley. Not only do they love the lifestyle this valley affords, but over the course of their research into resort towns, this area wins out because of the community. These property owners not only want to live in a beautiful setting, they also want to be involved in the local life— from charitable opportunities to local organizations that are the lifeblood of Sun Valley. These transactions testify to the fundamentals of the Sun Valley community. These buyers understand that Sun Valley is attractive for more than the surroundings—the fabric of the community gives Sun Valley long-range appeal.”
Sue Engelmann on activity in the high-end market “It is clear that with the resurgence of sales in the $3 million range in 2011
after a pretty solid dry spell, that this trend is continuing with gusto yearto-date. Not only are we seeing numbers topping the $6 million mark, we are seeing a really strong showing in land, condos, and homes north of $3 million. In-town purchases still remain at the top of the list, although homes and land north of Ketchum have been increasing in popularity as of last year. . All of this is good news for sellers. With the activity we are seeing in our typical ‘slow season’, buyers appear to be getting the message.”
Grady Burnett on Market Recovery “I recently represented a savvy buyer from Seattle on a high-end townhome in Ketchum. The prior owner paid over $2 million several years ago. During the downturn the owner placed the property on the market as a short sale. Seeing an exceptional value, my buyer reacted quickly and closed on the property in December of 2011 for $1 million even. In March of 2012, a broker approached me with a client willing to pay $1.2M for it. My clients love their new home and weren’t willing to sell even with a ROI of 20% in three months. High-quality, well-priced properties are going, going, gone. This is a good sign of market recovery.”

NICK GILMAN FROM LEE GILMAN
BUILDERS ON BUILDING TRENDS IN THE SUN VALLEY AREA When we spoke with Nick, he was standing in a house he describes as “a heavily distressed property with some noted and perceived deficiencies in the crawl space and some very dated finishes.” Because the new owners purchased this home in a short sale, Nick says, “They are able to invest in a significant remodel and still end up way ahead of appraisal and the market when they are done.” He noted that this is a noticeable trend; at Lee Gilman, they are “seeing a number of clients who have purchased properties that aren’t in keeping with what they want and they are making small to major improvements.” Nick adds that they are seeing an increase in the number of clients who want to build from the ground up. “We worked with a couple earlier this spring talking about remodeling a property they were considering buying, but ultimately, they got a great deal on some mid-valley land, so they decided to build and get exactly what they want.” Not only is Nick recognizing that just like the real estate market, the construction business is picking up, “with the appropriate 12- to 18-month lag for due diligence and design development,” but he is also seeing that “everybody is market savvy these days; no one is rushing into anything.” nick@leegilman.com + john@leegilman.com All data is courtesy of Sun Valley Board of Realtors

north valley
Together Ketchum and Sun Valley make up the ultimate summer and winter playground. Dining options abound—from some of the Northwest’s best burgers to sophisticated Italian, French, and Asian fusion fare—while late-night spots for music and cocktails can be found for every age group. Residents and visitors alike alpine ski/snowboard or Nordic ski in the winter and take to two wheels in the summer, cruising through town or along the paved bike path extending from north Ketchum to Hailey. World-class art— highlighted at evening Gallery Walks—and shopping make for exceptional browsing and buying. Hikers, often with the family dog in tow, hit in-town trials. Further north, the paddleboats and sandy shores of Redfish Lake and powerboating on Alturas Lake, both within an hour’s drive, make for unforgettable days in the sun. Of course Sun Valley Resort is a community cornerstone, its quaint village just as bustling in summer as in winter.
south valley
Hailey is the heart of the South Valley. More than 6,000 residents enjoy the theaters, shops, restaurants, and coffeehouses, as well as an impressively high number of community parks. The restaurant scene is hot with places like CK’s and Zou 75 for fine fare or Powerhouse for organic burgers, delicious salads, and hand-cut fries. Unlike Ketchum and Sun Valley, whose rhythms are governed by tourism much of the year, Hailey has a decidedly close-knit, family vibe, while neighboring Bellevue boasts a more rural appeal. In addition to more than 40 hikes and Big Wood River access within five miles of Hailey, Sun Valley Resort and Dollar Mountain are only 15 minutes north in Sun Valley.

MOUNTAIN BIKE RIDES BEFORE WORK
Eve’s Gulch. Get up a little extra early and layer up for a great ride out Eve’s Gulch (access at Adam’s Gulch trailhead). This drainage was burned during the Castle Rock Fire and was re-routed in 2009; several looping switchbacks lead the adventurous rider up a 1,400-foot-climb and eventually connects to an old mining road descending to the West Fork of Warm Springs Creek. Return down Warm Springs Road and climb over Heidelberg Hill for a 16-mile loop.
LUNCH BREAK RIDE We can’t help it; there’s no way to avoid suggesting a River Run to Warm Springs ride (or Warm Springs to River Run) for your lunch break. It’s close to town and a fun, quick ride. It may be an obvious choice, but it’s still a great one! Check out the Blaine County Recreation District website for details: www.bcrd.org.
