World’s top male and female athletes set to compete
“We are thrilled to welcome back the best skiers from each alpine discipline to the iconic slopes of Sun Valley Resort.”
—Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard
Sun Valley Resort has officially been named host of the Audi FIS Ski World Cup Finals, March 22-27, 2025, including all four disciplines for men and women, which includes slalom, giant slalom, super-G, and downhill disciplines. FIS granted final ratification to Sun Valley Resort upon completion of the World Cup course and updates to the base area infrastructure. Sun Valley Resort is thrilled to welcome the world’s top athletes to the first-ever Stifel Sun Valley Finals, vying for the overall World Cup title.
“Sun Valley has a long and storied history in ski racing, for many years hosting the revered Harriman Cup, our first FIS World Cup in 1975, and most recently the U.S. Alpine Championships back-to-back,” says Pete Sonntag, Sun Valley Resort GM and VP. “We’re proud of our mountain and believe it will provide a great test of the world’s greatest skiers, but we’re even more proud of our community and how this small western town can rally around an event of this caliber. We’re thrilled for athletes, families, and travelers worldwide to come to experience the best of Sun Valley.”
In a nod to the Union Pacific’s railroad history, Sun Valley Resort has named the race course “Challenger,” as challenger cars were known for their speed and power. The name also honors the resort’s new stateof-the-art Challenger chairlift, which serves some of the resort’s most challenging terrain. This new course promises to be one of North America’s most demanding downhill courses.
“It’s official, the Stifel Sun Valley Finals is confirmed on the FIS Alpine World Cup schedule this season,” says Sophie Goldschmidt, President and CEO of U.S. Ski & Snowboard. “We are thrilled to welcome back
the best skiers from each alpine discipline to the iconic slopes of Sun Valley Resort. We are confident that this event will not only be a success, but will also further show that we have world-class venues right in our backyard.”
Sun Valley will also have a bustling events lineup during the World Cup Finals off the slopes. Enjoy live music after the races daily, explore Ketchum and the 5850 Festival, and catch more entertainment at Festival Meadows in Sun Valley.

Michel Rudigoz celebrates 80
by David Butterfield
The famous Christiania has evolved in rhythmic turns with Sun Valley since the advent of the resort in 1936. It was a glamorous gambling club for tycoons and film stars, and after gaming was outlawed in the late 1950s, the restaurant and bar became a favorite of writer Ernest Hemingway and anyone wanting to see and be seen. Following were different owners and attitudes. Style and cuisine changed with the times. For the last 30 years, former ski coach Michel Rudigoz has brought a creative French accent to the elegant restaurant, and a cozy corner called The Olympic Bar displays vintage ski racing photos and mementos.
In July, Michel was honored with a luncheon for his 80th birthday. 1984 Olympic medalist, Christin Cooper, gathered over 60 former racers, coaches, and industry vets to celebrate. Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation alums Holly Dupont, Anne Corrock, Adele Savaria, Lisa Levy, and Heather Daves provided on-site support and a guided hiking adventure. Cooper, Sun Valley Culinary Institute (SVCI) Executive Director Karl Uri, and former racer Katie Morning (current SVCI staffer) conjured a French country spread that stunned even the hard-to-impress honoree.
People shared heartfelt memories and comic anecdotes about their “Favorite Frog,” capped with the presentation of a photo book chronicling Michel’s record-breaking career from junior coach to leader of the most successful U.S. Women’s Ski Team in history.
Michel’s Christiania and Olympic Bar are having a great run.

Although it’s not entirely unusual for a community the size of the Wood River Valley to have close to 100 nonprofits actively serving its population, rarely are they as integral to a community’s life, function, and character as they are in our valley. Fortunately, we have Spur Community Foundation nurturing, providing guidance, and inspiring philanthropy on both sides—people who give and organizations who serve. Spur’s ability to provide information, resources, ideas, advice, and insight about the robust but not always appreciated nonprofit ecosystem that makes our community tick is available to those interested and at the heart of “It’s In Our Nature.”
“Our valley is too small and remote to have naturally come by the world-class amenities and extensive support systems we enjoy. Tremendous generosity from people who love this place makes it all possible,” says Spur Community Foundation Executive Director Sally Gillespie. “Spur seeks to raise awareness of this dynamic because we believe that preserving the tradition of giving back is vital to maintaining our community’s unique character, even as other aspects inevitably grow and change.”
$25M granted locally since Spur’s inception
Founded in 2016, Spur has quietly supported nonprofits in becoming effective and sustainable through free advisory services, leadership training programs, and grants. At the same time, it has worked with numerous donors to support the community in ways that align with their interests and values as well as local needs and opportunities.
Spur guided Valley residents Sandy and Jodi Sanders in their preferences. “What attracted us to Spur was the ability to get information about all Wood River Valley nonprofits in one place. Spur understood our gifting preferences and was able to match them to organizations that had the most immediate need,” they say.
Spur has facilitated $25 million in local giving in only eight years. “We’re proud to say the bulk of this philanthropy has been new dollars flowing out to the community. Growing the amount of charitable donations and inspiring more people to participate are primary objectives for Spur,” says Gillespie.
With encouragement and funding from the Mott Family Foundation, Spur added a new strategy in pursuit of its mission to inspire effective philanthropy by taking on the role of publicist for the nonprofit sector and the generosity that fuels it. Through the “It’s In Our Nature” campaign, launched in July 2024, Spur embarked on a multi-year initiative to celebrate the community’s generosity and inspire people to give back. Spur is telling a broader story about the essential role played by the nonprofit sector, including its impact on the local economy and employment.
“We’re using a variety of channels to grow awareness, including social media, educational events, and a special website designed to be a hub where people can learn about all of our local nonprofits in one place without having to search pages and pages of websites,” says Gillespie. “On the itsinournaturewrv.org website, people can find stats, videos, a searchable directory, and volunteer opportunities provided by the nonprofits. Seeing so many organizations side by side showcases the genuine camaraderie within the sector that is often invisible to the public.”
While the campaign’s initial focus is on what nonprofits contribute to the community, it will expand to highlight what the experience of giving back does for people who participate as donors and volunteers. It celebrates generosity wherever it occurs and elevates people’s thinking beyond a transactional perspective to an authentic appreciation that caring for and giving back to this community is fundamental to being a part of it.
“Many of the nonprofits in the Valley work together to address the needs of our community, as exemplified by the work in mental health, education, and housing,” says Spur Community Foundation Board President Mary Wilson. “‘It’s In Our Nature’ embraces the culture of generosity that defines the Valley. This initiative highlights how our lives are touched daily through the hard work of the nonprofits, their staff, volunteers, and donors.” Wilson adds, “To give where you live is meaningful and inspiring, whether through donations or volunteering. With the ‘It’s In Our Nature’ campaign, Spur provides an easy on-ramp to live generously.”
Spur will be monitoring the impact of the campaign through data on local charitable donations, engagement with events and social media, occasional surveys, and a mix of anecdotal and documented success stories that show local nonprofits are attracting the resources of time, talent, and treasure they need,

Our community is powered by an ecosystem of generosity.

particularly in areas of greatest importance to the community’s well-being. Additionally, an increase in demand for Spur’s donor advisory services will be an indicator that people are persuaded they have a personal responsibility to invest in the community’s future. Spur can provide guidance in finding the best fit for a person’s interests and objectives while also offering services that simplify the giving experience.
“We provide knowledge, relationships, and systems that make it easy to give purposefully and to know you are having an impact,” says Gillespie. “Not everyone needs Spur, but for people who might be here seasonally, are new to the community, give anonymously, or lack the time or inclination to evaluate the many nonprofits, Spur can alleviate the obstacles to giving back.”
Spur’s nonprofit services are extensive. Like a consultant, they advise on all areas of a nonprofit’s operations. They also offer leadership development programs for Executive Directors and
Board Chairs, help find grant opportunities and make grants themselves, and work to create efficiencies in the sector. An example found on the “It’s In Our Nature” website is a volunteer management platform Spur licenses so that local nonprofits can access a comprehensive system for free.
Organizations such as Men’s Second Chance Living, The Space, The Alliance, and Far + Wise have used Spur to build healthy organizations in mindful ways such as board development, fundraising, strategic planning, and best operating practices for each stage of their evolution.
“We help position them for success, which results in the community having strong, capable resources to turn to, whether that be in overcoming addiction, supporting youth in the educational journey, or meeting the needs of the Valley’s workforce and families,” says Gillespie. “Across the sector, nonprofits trust that we have their and the community’s best interests in mind.”
Spur defines the local nonprofit sector as the 501(c) (3) charitable organizations that provide programs and services that are broadly relevant and beneficial to the local community.
Spur services to donors and nonprofits are generally provided free of charge. It can do this because of its unique business model compared to other community foundations. Rather than charging fees on the money held in donor-advised funds, Spur relies on its board of directors, advisory board members, and voluntary contributions from people who value how they have been helped and how Spur supports nonprofits. “Charging fees on assets would create an incentive contrary to our mission,” explains Gillespie. “We want to see money flow into the community rather than be held back for the sake of funding our operations. So far, this approach is working and engenders trust with donors and nonprofits.”
The ecosystem of generosity in the Wood River Valley plays an outsized role in everyone’s experience here, whether in obvious ways like the arts and human services or less obvious ways like maintaining our trail system and caring for the environment. To the uninformed resident, it’s all done so seamlessly that it’s easy to take for granted. Spur Community Foundation, through its new “It’s In Our Nature” campaign, wants to make sure that’s not the case. By celebrating generosity and highlighting
how many aspects of our community depend upon it, Spur hopes to inspire all community members to participate. It’s an investment in preserving an essential characteristic of the community—one less visible than the natural beauty and physical amenities—namely its personality, where people care about each other, work together for the benefit of something larger than themselves, and form authentic connections regardless of their status or stature.

We’re excited to share a significant milestone in the evolution of the Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF). In 2025, SVFF will move the annual five-day event from its traditional spring dates to early December, positioning the Festival within the heart of the awards campaign season. This date shift offers SVFF an opportunity to bring the Valley better programming and to be a more visible platform for filmmakers. It also allows us to fully embrace the magical winter setting of Sun Valley—the landscape that inspired the birth of America’s first ski resort.
To celebrate this milestone, we’re thrilled to present the SVFF Winter Screening Series , December 6-8, 2024. This special three-day event will offer a curated preview of films that exemplify the caliber of storytelling you can expect from SVFF in 2025. With screenings timed ahead of Oscar shortlist voting, the Winter Screening Series will showcase standout films and talent in the intimate, accessible style that defines SVFF.
SVFF has always been more than just a festival— it’s where connections are made, stories come to life, and community thrives. Over the past 14 years, with your unwavering support, SVFF has grown from an annual event into a full-time arts organization, delivering year-round programming that enriches both culture and community. Through workshops, screenings, and special events, we’ve expanded our mission to make storytelling and cinema a cornerstone of the Sun Valley experience all year long.
This year’s Winter Screening Series is just the beginning of an exciting journey. So, get ready for what’s to come, and join us in celebrating this new chapter for SVFF! Passes for the Winter Screening Series are limited, so don’t miss your chance to be part of this special event.
See you in December, Teddy and Candice

What could be more exciting to ignite the 2024-25 holiday season and sun valley winter than the Sun Valley Film Festival (SVFF)? The answer is SVFF’s permanent move to early December beginning in 2025. Seeking to serve as a more timely, “must-stop” advance platform for award-season contenders, the Sun Valley Film Festival will shift its annual five-day celebration of cinema from March/April to the first weekend of December, beginning in 2025.
To kick off the move and preview the 2025 Festival, SVFF presents a special three-day SVFF Winter Screening Series December 6-8, 2024, to whet the appetite for what’s to come. “When we started in 2012, we scheduled the Festival in the spring to help drive tourism in an otherwise quieter time of the year,” says Executive Director Teddy Grennan. “With the success of our Winter Screening Series and an increasingly crowded festival landscape in the spring, we saw an opportunity to fulfill the desire of the film industry and showcase high-caliber films to thoughtful and influential audiences, including Sun Valley-based guild and AMPAS members, in advance of voting for award season.”
The 13th annual Sun Valley Film Festival took place February 28-March 3, 2024. Festival highlights included Annette Bening and David O. Russell receiving the Vision Award, Ted Hope receiving the Pioneer Award presented by Variety, and Julia Cox receiving the High Scribe Award. The Festival opened with a screening of Ezra , which received the Audience Feature Award, and the film’s star, Bobby Cannavale, received SVFF’s inaugural Best Performance in a Film Award.
Sean Baker, director of the 2024 Cannes Palme d’Or winner
Anora , says, “The Sun Valley Film Festival will always hold a special place for me. They honored me with their Vision Award in 2013,” he says. “Since then, it’s been great to see SVFF grow, and I think their move to December will benefit the film community. The Florida Project screened as part of their early-December Winter Screening Series, which helped spotlight it before the busy holiday screening season. I know a lot of independent filmmakers will appreciate the same opportunity.”
Festival Director Candice Pate adds, “Sun Valley has long been a destination known for its deep Hollywood roots while celebrating our unique location and mountain life, creating a relaxed and fun-loving vibe that has distinguished the Sun Valley Film Festival. By shifting the Festival to the beautiful holiday season in this ski paradise, which is attracting other top events like the World Cup, we can grow the prominence of the Festival and highlight the best of awards season contenders to our sophisticated audience of movie lovers.”
“With the success of our Winter Screening Series and an increasingly crowded festival landscape in the spring, we saw an opportunity to fulfill the desire of the film industry and showcase high-caliber films to thoughtful and influential audiences, including Sun Valley-based guild and AMPAS members, in advance of voting for award season.”
—Teddy Grennan
To transition from spring to winter for the annual Sun Valley Film Festival, SVFF will move its Winter Screening Series this year to the beginning of the month, December 6-7, 2024, just before Academy Award shortlist voting starts on December 9, seeking to elevate the caliber of films and talent showcased. At last year’s Winter Screening Series, SVFF screened the Oscarnominated The Color Purple and Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, with a filmmaker Q&A in January. Previous winter screenings have included such films as National Geographic Documentary Film’s Free Solo, which went on to win the 2019 Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
Chris Albert, former head of marketing and communications for Nat Geo, says, “The Sun Valley Film Festival has been a true partner for over a decade. Their audience is the perfect mix of press, influencers, and AMPAS voters in a setting that puts film and film lovers first. Each of the four Nat Geonominated Oscar documentary campaigns I oversaw screened at Sun Valley, and honestly, I consider them a good luck charm! With this date change, I would add Sun Valley as a must-stop for awards contenders.”
The organization will continue its highly successful Monthly Movies series for local audiences and other year-round programs and workshops such as SVJr Film, Shop Talks, and the Screenwriter Lab Residency.
Passes and tickets to the 2024 Winter Screening Series, with multiple tiers of access, are on sale. Previous Festival patrons and pass holders will receive an early bird opportunity to purchase. For additional information, visit sunvalleyfilmfestival.org.

Never underestimate the creativity generated in the dim recesses of the Cellar Pub. It’s where the brilliant entrepreneur and Ketchum April Fools aficionado Nick Harman, who defers to the title ‘crazy,’ resurrects his best imaginativeness. And to date, that would be Randimals, combination animal toys with a simple message, that What Makes Us Different, Makes All the Difference in the World. From sketches on napkins and a little inspiration from the personality of a Basset Labrador mix named Ollie, a crazy idea has turned the plushy world upside-down and generated two children’s books with a beautiful story and inspiring message.
Randimals are made up of two different animals, which means they are a unique blend of personalities, characteristics, instincts, and skills. There’s Hork, part great white shark and horse, Girtle, part giraffe and turtle, and Framel, part frog and camel, to name a few. At the heart of Randimals lies a celebration of individuality, embracing the unique and special qualities each of us can offer to the world. The collection consists of plushies, figurines, and Randiminis.
“We wanted to create something that was more than a toy, and this message that ties in with the books resonates with kids and parents alike,” says Harman. Utilizing Upwork, an American freelance platform, Harman and his business partner, Casey Finegan, found talent from around the world—a graphic designer in Nepal, an illustrator in Armenia, a web developer in Pakistan, and a social media specialist in Columbia—with the actual manufacturing done overseas, which became in itself a team of wonderfully different people.
Randimals are made up of two different animals, which means they are a unique blend of personalities, characteristics, instincts, and skills.
The downtime created by the pandemic was a silver lining for Harman, the front-of-house director at The Argyros, and creativity burst with the birth of three companies all at the same time. The Bandsanitizer Novel Corona Kit was sold online and in stores. And I’m like... was a fun educational game to help bring attention to when we use unnecessary words or phrases, which sold to Toastmasters. Randimals is a success story now poised to launch in the UK and Germany. Ripley Entertainment Inc. found Randimals on TikTok and carries them in their Ripley’s Believe It or Not! and Ripley’s Aquarium Attractions. Amazon recognized Randimals as one of the 50 most exciting new small businesses. A company in Los Angeles has approached them with the possibility of doing a television series, and Ketchum’s Community Library
chose Harman out of 25 entries to do a Randimals presentation as a local Author Showcase. Special recognition awards have followed the success.
Harman’s accompanying children’s book, The Randimals, is the fictional origin story that sets up the message. In the book, Ollie the dog chews up all the little girl’s toys, but she finds a way to put them back together again. They come alive and go to a toy store where the other toys make fun of them. Then Ellarilla, part elephant and gorilla, teaches them the valuable lesson that differences are a superpower. The second book, I’m All Randimal , details the personalities and characteristics of each Randimal and also features the people from around the world who helped with the project.
“I see so much potential in the Randimals story and message. It’s not just specifics visually. We are all just different.”
—Nick Harman
“If you know the movie Toy Story, then you’ll recall the little boy next door, Sid, who was always destroying his toys,” explains Harman. “In my opinion, Sid was misunderstood and always demonized, but I thought he had potential as a creative genius and probably went on to start an ad company in New York. My wife’s daughter, Chyna, suggested that Sid needed a redemption story and that ended up being the inspiration for the The Randimals book. I keep waiting to hear back from Pixar with an offshoot franchise,” Harman says with a laugh, but seriously.
As can be imagined, the possibilities for different Randimals are endless. A page on the Randimals website allows kids to create their own. Hundreds of ideas are received every week, and the best are uploaded to the site, with one chosen each year for a new Randimal. “Last year, we chose Girtle, the giraffe and turtle, designed by an eight-year-old boy in Chicago,” says Harman. “We have a couple of new ones in the pipeline that we hope to launch before Christmas.”
Harman says that some adults initially thought Randimals were a bit weird at first glance. But three years on and adults are a huge part of the Randimals business. The kidult market is one of the biggest trends in the toy industry. “But kids see through differences,” Harman explains. “They embrace them. They don’t see race or culture, they just see awesome!” I see so much potential in the Randimals story and message. We are all different and as we like to say—What makes us different, makes all the difference in the world.”

Sun Valley is an outdoor paradise, and between the mountainous valleys and flowing rivers, this town offers an ideal creative landscape. It didn’t take long for the new play producer and dramaturg John Baker to recognize the artistic legacy and potential of the Wood River Valley. In 2020, while many were closing their circles, John decided to expand his by laying the foundation for an innovative new nonprofit in Sun Valley.
Sun Valley Playwright’s Residency (SVPR) was born from a shared passion for new plays and a vision to construct a unique creative space in the valley. Baker had long dreamed of establishing an organization to inspire and support playwrights while fostering a deep connection with the local community. In 2020, he found his partner in Idahobased producer Jonathan Kane, who shared his vision. Together, they launched SVPR in partnership with two cultural pillars in the community, The Argyros and The Community Library.
SVPR provides playwrights with the time, space, and resources to create while building local connections through events that bring the local community into the creative process. Each year, a playwright is chosen to develop a new work, beginning with a month-long residency at The Community Library’s historic Hemingway House. Following this immersive stay, the playwright continues their work at home with ongoing support from SVPR. They return the following fall to workshop the play in Idaho and share their work in a free public reading.
“We’re all about nurturing new relationships between theatremakers and the Wood River Valley and fueling the national theatre scene with great new plays,” Baker explains. “We’re truly grateful and humbled by how the local community has fully embraced the Playwright’s Residency, and we’re proud to be thriving.”
With the recent closures of renowned playwright spaces, such as The Lark in New York City and the Sundance Theater Program, Baker saw a vital need to create a space where storytelling and artistic exploration could thrive. SVPR distinguishes itself by acting as “an artist retreat, commissioning program, and new play development lab all wrapped into one,” explains Baker.
Playwrights can create a meaningful, reciprocal relationship with the local community through this multifaceted approach.
Over the past few years, SVPR’s educational programming has expanded to include playwriting workshops for local high school students and the general public. Last year, Pulitzer finalist and 2023-2024 Resident Playwright Rajiv Joseph led a workshop for students at The Community School, and this year, SVPR plans to expand its reach to more schools and offer additional free public workshops.
This year marks an exciting period of growth in other ways as SVPR partners with Boise Contemporary Theater and Boise State University’s Department of Theater, Film, and Creative Writing to workshop Rajiv Joseph’s new 12-character play, Horoscope, which will have free readings in Boise and Ketchum. Widening its reach, SVPR strives to adapt to the ever-growing and changing needs of the communities it serves, offering substantial support to a wide range of creatives.
October offers an exciting lineup as SVPR will host a series of free readings, workshops, and conversations. These events feature a dynamic group of celebrated playwrights, including MacArthur

Legend says the original owner of Stanley’s Rod and Gun Club, est. 1931, came to town running from the law. After the bar was up and running, supposedly, he lost it in a cribbage game. Since then, the establishment has been burned down twice, famously “stomped” in, and brawled up more than that. Music played seven days a week, and Nashville greats graced the stage—the likes of Tennessee Ernie Ford, Jim Nabors, and the Braun boys’ bands. Last owned by the Kirch family for over 50 years, Stanley’s oldest watering hole has stood the test of history, and now, 93 years later, the iconic saloon embraces its new proprietor, Tripp Costas, who’s eager to usher the Stanley institution into its next century.
“One of the best compliments I’ve received, though, from multiple people is they’ve noticed the lack of cell phones in the space at any given time. Everyone is talking with each other, laughing, and meeting new folks.”
—Tripp Costas
It was 2015 when Costas first laid eyes on Stanley. In his vintage Beechcraft, he’d flown from Tennessee to Cascade to visit friends. While there, they encouraged him to check out this little town with an incredible bakery you can walk to from the end of the airstrip. “When I landed, I was blown away by the mountains,” says Costas. “I felt a really good vibe and energy about the place and kept coming back year after year trying to have a bad time, and I couldn’t.”
Costas, who hails from Nashville, has a background in the hospitality, manufacturing, and development side of hotel brand standards. Costas himself was running—from status quo to satisfied, and hopes his philosophy manifests itself through the bar’s operation. “I find satisfaction through physical activity or being in the mountains, hiking, biking, or skiing; just undertaking something completely unreasonable,” he says. “This bar was a bit of that, but also an opportunity for me to have closer access to those things that give me a lot of joy and fulfillment. It’s been a lot of fun, and my entire focus is on this place and doing this thing. I’m out here. I get to wake up every day to a beautiful view of the mountains, and am learning how to run a bar and have fun in the meantime.”
Costas has every intention of preserving the Rod and Gun Club legend. “I’ve not felt like an outsider from the moment I put my foot on the ground,” he says. “I anticipated some of that, but I also committed to the Kirch family and the town to preserve and protect Stanley’s institution. Everyone has been so supportive.”
Upgrades and improvements have included renovations to the building to better equip it for winter operations. Everything from electrical to plumbing to painting to restoring the rock fireplace and ensuring the historical bar, in its original space, is ready for the next 100 years, including new equipment. The interior was transformed into cozy ski cabin vibes with vintage and nostalgic décor that lean into the area’s history. The shuffleboard and two pool tables remain, dart lanes were added, and leather sofas were brought in for a comfortable lounge space.
“It may be an ugly bar on the outside, but I think there’s an element of surprise when you walk in and see what we’ve done,” says Costas. “Imagine the Ketchum Casino and Galena Lodge were having a love child—that’s kind of what we’re going for.”
“Imagine the Ketchum Casino and Galena Lodge were having a love child—that’s kind of what we’re going for.”
—Tripp Costas
Beyond the immediate improvements, Costas is interested in practical use of his .3-acre lot. The Rod and Gun Club structure is almost 6,000 square feet, with a significant backyard. He believes there is future opportunity for intelligently designed small living units there and throughout Stanley to thoughtfully address the existing housing shortage.
“It’s an idea to build something that would create affordability for folks who have yearned to own a piece of Stanley, who’ve maybe been in the service industry for decades and struggled to find permanent housing,” he says. “That’s a project for a couple of years down the road, but I believe strongly there is a demand and space in this town, and that’s where my background would be of help.”
But for now, the town bar is back in business, and the welcome mat is out for comfortable hospitality that goes beyond serving a well-executed drink, the likes of which have surprised patrons upon finding a martini on the menu modeled after the famous “freezer martini” from Duke’s Hotel in London. Contrast that with Costas’s “Dumb Ideas” menu, which is headlined by the “Dirtbag:” a frosty mug of Hamm’s draft beer and a shot of whiskey or tequila for $8.
“We truly offer something for everyone,” Costa says. “One of the best compliments I’ve received, though, from multiple people is they’ve noticed the lack of cell phones in the space at any given time. Everyone is talking with each other, laughing, and meeting new folks. I’m a big fan of that and ensuring every visitor leaves feeling like they have experienced a little piece of the locals’ town. But the bigger compliment is having locals continue to come back.” That’s a good sign for a bar whose glory days included one on the front door reading, ‘check your gun and knife at the door.’

Mary Alice Kirch purchased the Rod and Gun Club & Café in 1971 from Glen and Nel Brewer. Her son Jack, aka Casanova Jack, a Nashville entertainer in the ‘50s and ‘60s, ran the bar until his passing in 1990, when his brother, Johnny Ray, and wife Eve, took over ownership. Jack entertained at the bar seven nights a week, and he and Johnny Ray wrote many songs about the area and the famous river guides of the ’70s, which are featured on his album, recorded at Faron Young Studios in Nashville.

Fall nesting is in motion for Style Dial picks in the October/November/ December SVPN Magazine. Looking around the inside of our homes can lead to some exciting changes, especially when it comes to bathroom tile and design or for creating the best space in one’s kitchen that begs comfort and gathering. And who doesn’t love a new rug to change up a space! Sun Valley designers and decor aficionados have what you need for our favorite change of season from fall to winter.
“The traditional kitchen island, reimagined,” says Marina Broschofsky, owner of Red Door Home + Design.
“This large oval piece has four drawers and a bottom shelf, bringing bonus storage to the kitchen, while the other side remains open to accommodate stools. Antique bronze-finished hardware complements the spiced oak.”
“In this guest bathroom, the vertical installation of wood-look tile combined with matte black fixtures adds a huge dose of personality,” says Redeux Decor owner Heather McGregor. “The black accents in the shower niche and the door hardware correspond beautifully with the hexagon tile. A great place to start the day if we do say so ourselves!”

“When a client asks for fantastic tile, they are speaking our love-language,” says Allison Connolly, owner of Allison Paige Interior Design. “It is not an inexpensive element but always packs a design punch. In this project, we were tasked with a different feel for each of the guest rooms and adjoining baths and we weren’t sad.”

The St. Luke’s Center for Community Health team in Blaine County has been working hard to improve awareness and mental health access within our community. We’ve partnered with the Blaine County School District and Communities for Youth to assess the needs of our local youth and address contributing factors to poor mental health—including lack of sleep and forming social connections, two topics our youth singled out as areas of concern.
When young people (and even adults) do not get enough sleep, their mental health and well-being can suffer. Not getting enough sleep can affect a teenager’s mood, but also things like their ability to concentrate in class, their athletic performance, and even things like how safely they drive. The amount of sleep recommended for an individual depends on their age.
There are many reasons teens do not or cannot get enough sleep. Packed schedules, stress, not having a comfortable or safe environment to sleep in, and even things like putting off sleep or not prioritizing sleep for activities like screen time can all contribute.
LEARN ABOUT AND MODEL
‘SLEEP HYGIENE’ PRACTICES
Setting regular times for bed and keeping a consistent wind-down routine helps people fall asleep more easily.
Avoid using electronic devices (e.g. phones, TVs, video game consoles) within 30 minutes of trying to sleep. The light from a screen is the key sleep disruptor here. Using a phone app for music, podcasts, or meditation if the screen is off can be helpful for some people.
Create a comfortable sleeping environment. The best sleeping areas are dark, quiet, and cooler than 75 degrees.
Avoid caffeinated drinks in the afternoon or evening, and beware of sneaky caffeine in juice and sports drinks or powders. Watch out for sleep myths! “Catching up” on sleep over the weekend or a holiday doesn’t work. A consistent schedule is more beneficial for teenagers to get the right amount of sleep.
START YOUTH ACTIVITIES LATER OR END EARLIER
Structure youth activities to start later in the morning or end earlier at night to prioritize the time youth spend sleeping.
REPLACE EVEN SHORT ACTIVITIES WITH SLEEP
Every bit of sleep we can get back into youth’s lives is helpful. Try replacing 15 minutes of screen time (e.g. phone, TV, video games) with sleep.
Sarah Seppa, Director of Community Health & Engagement for SLWR’s Center for Community Health, discusses the next steps, “Together, the Blaine County initiative is keeping the attention on building the best possible community for kids. Numerous steps and efforts are underway to help address these issues. For example, teachers changed how homework assignments were posted, making them due at 9pm instead of midnight, to help students who may procrastinate get their homework done and get to bed. We are also excited to bring Dr. Kyle Davis, a licensed clinical psychologist from Boise with over ten years of experience, to a free presentation at the Community Campus to discuss healthy sleep throughout our lives. We will work to share what we learn about how sleep patterns change as we age, with a focus on teens, the relationship between sleep and mental health, and when to seek help regarding sleep issues.”

FUND ESTABLISHED IN ST. LUKE’S WOOD RIVER FOUNDATION
This spring, the Wood River Valley community came together to celebrate the life of Terry O’Connor, MD, whose brief yet impactful presence touched countless lives. Whether serving as an Emergency Medicine Physician at St. Luke’s Wood River, acting as EMS Director for Blaine County, or simply being a friend and neighbor, Dr. O’Connor had a passion for helping others thrive and it was evident in every role he embraced. His commitment to providing respect and empathy to all will not be forgotten.
As his obituary so aptly described, Dr. O’Connor “combined his love for awe-inspiring mountain adventure with service to others in local, national, and international roles that included mountain search and rescue, philanthropy, emergency medicine, COVID-19 pandemic policy and research, podcasting, and educating health professionals on the impact of climate change on public health. He was a doctor’s doctor, a mountaineer’s mountaineer, and a dedicated public servant.”
Dr. O’Connor was a deeply altruistic individual, always eager to share his knowledge and expertise in the pursuit of improving the health and well-being of others and the community as a whole.

When we’re dealing with mysterious, complicated, and chronic conditions, it takes creativity, inspiration, knowledge, and experience to get the results. Chronic and mysterious conditions can be incredibly frustrating, leaving individuals searching for answers that are often elusive, wasting time, money, and quality of life.
Allopathic approaches focus on system management, leaving the problem unsolved to emerge later. Our approach at Centered is multidimensional: pinpoint the cause, resolve it, and improve mitochondrial function and cellular energy. With this approach, we offer ten times the healing and results, seeing miracles daily and offering results that far surpass expectations.
The blend of core modalities we use at Centered revolves around one key principle: restoring balance to the body’s core systems. Our techniques primarily focus on resetting the neurological and nervous systems, which regulate and control the immune, endocrine, and muscular systems. By connecting these systems with underlying emotional stresses or trauma, we unlock the potential for unlimited physical, mental, and emotional results.
Our philosophy is built on the understanding that trauma, stress, and injury deeply affect the body’s ability to heal. When these underlying stressors are resolved, the body/mind/spirit can function optimally. The combination of our approach and knowledge achieves unparalleled results in healing even the most stubborn conditions.
The AMIT method restores neuromuscular functioning after injury, instantly clearing pain in acute conditions and ending pain and instability in chronic conditions in more time, with profound change. By reactivating inhibited muscles and restoring proper function, we resolve pain at its source, instead of just masking it with temporary fixes that worsen the issue.
QNRT instantly changes the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems, quickly changing physiological functioning. QNRT is the technique that provides the desired result for accelerated changes by pinpointing the emotional and neurological triggers that may be holding back the body’s healing potential. By clearing these limiting factors, we see immediate physical, mental, and emotional improvements, typically within the first session.
Our machines accelerate results for VO2max, hormone balance, bone density, tissue repair and remodeling, and vascularization. They work synergistically with our handson techniques to deliver fast, effective results in almost every condition.
Our Vasper machine increases testosterone, which both men and women need, decreases nighttime cortisol, and gives the benefits of a three-hour workout in 21 minutes without stressing the nervous system. Therefore, it improves energy, sleep, and recovery.
Live O2 increases VO2max, tissue oxygenation, and utilization, leading to healthy fluid tissues—fantastic for post-concussion protocols, injury, and post-surgery health. The PEMF machines increase cellular energy, clear inflammation, and speed healing.
Infrared therapy decreases pain and inflammation, increases cellular energy, improves thyroid functioning, and elevates the mood.
Shockwave therapy is one of our most powerful tools. This therapy vascularizes tissue, speeds up healing by 30-80%, even in non-healing fractures and difficult injuries, and nearly miraculously often clears pain. The shockwave is a game-changer for pain and injury, often 10xing the results alone. Paired with PEMF and the AMIT method, it yields results not thought possible to achieve.
The key to our results lies in the synergy of our techniques. By connecting the function between pain, trauma, imbalance, and inflammation, we address the full spectrum of limiting factors holding one back from health. The results are additive and permanent, creating a framework for accelerated, deeper results over time. Health is possible for everyone, and a new definition of health is vitality, vibrancy, happiness, high energy, and functioning immunity. Through our approach, we make the impossible both possible, real, and achievable.
The combination of our approach and knowledge achieves unparalleled results in healing even the most stubborn conditions.

Organized by Art Bridges, In Conversation: Will Wilson pairs Diné artist Will Wilson’s contemporary portraits of Native and non-Native sitters with portraits that Edward Sheriff Curtis made of Indigenous peoples at the turn of the 20th century. Using a wet-plate collodion photographic technique similar to that used by Curtis, Wilson’s portraits, which he makes in collaboration with sitters who choose the way they are represented in his images, offer a critique of Curtis’s project, in which Native people were reduced to archetypes and often dressed in props Curtis provided. Wilson has also developed an AR app, Talking Tintypes, that allows visitors to scan portraits with their phones to bring the portraits to life, allowing sitters to share their personal stories with visitors. The exhibition explores self-representation, identity, and the history of photography.
At SVMoA, the exhibition will be augmented by photographs made by Benedicte Wrensted, a Danish immigrant to Pocatello, Idaho, who set up a portrait studio in the early 20th century where members of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes were some of her most frequent sitters. Additionally, photographers on the staff of the Sho-Ban News will lend photographs of members of the Tribes dressed in regalia today.

At first glance, the portrait seems straight out of the Old West. The stark black-and-white image and faded edges suggest an aged image, but the subject’s puffer vest and gas mask make it clear that the picture is modern.
The portrait was created in the 21st century by Diné (Navajo) artist Will Wilson as part of his ongoing Critical Indigenous Photographic Exchange (CIPX) series, which will be showcased in Sun Valley this fall. Wilson employs the visual language of late 19th and early 20th tintype photographs, using a wet-plate collodion process to produce images of contemporary Indigenous people on sheets of aluminum.
In thinking about the meaning of portraiture to Indigenous people, Wilson invokes the work of early 20th ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis. Curtis created portraits of Indigenous people across the American West, publishing his work in the influential series The North American Indian (1907-1930). Though the images reduced Indigenous subjects to archetypes, they were received as reality. Wilson says, “Curtis created the most comprehensive archive of Indigenous North Americans, and now contemporary artists want to take that authority back and create archives of who they believe themselves to be.”

In thinking about the meaning of portraiture to Indigenous people, Wilson invokes the work of early 20th-century ethnographer Edward Sheriff Curtis.
Wilson collaborates with his sitters to determine how they wish to portray themselves and gives the original tintype to the sitters, retaining a digital scan for the archive. Today, CIPX comprises the largest single-artist photographic collection of Native peoples since Curtis’s series—a counter-archive of contemporary Indigenous life.
This fall, the Sun Valley Museum of Art brings CIPX to southern Idaho through the exhibition In Conversation: Will Wilson, organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art with support from Art Bridges. The Museum will showcase Wilson’s work alongside Curtis’s images and will feature, as part of the auxiliary exhibition Portraits of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, Past & Present, contemporary portraits of Shoshone-Bannock Tribal members by Sho-Ban News photographers, as well as portraits by Benedicte Wrensted, who made over 100 portraits of members of the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes in her studio in the frontier town of Pocatello at the turn of the 20th century.
In the coming year, Wilson will visit Pocatello and Fort Hall to continue CIPX, making new portraits of Idahoans, including direct descendants of Indigenous individuals Wrensted photographed over a century ago.
Wilson’s work engages in a critical conversation with both historical and contemporary Indigenous portraiture from across the American West, addressing essential themes of self-representation, identity, and agency, which are at the heart of portraiture.
Kneeland Gallery is excited to announce its transition to a new location this fall. Join us in the 411 North Leadville building (next to Ozzie’s Shoes) for our grand reopening exhibition, which will be on display from Thanksgiving weekend through December. We will feature pieces from all your favorite gallery artists, including, but not limited to, Robert Moore, Ovanes Berberian, Lori McNee, Shanna Kunz, John Horejs, Kevin Syms, Steven Lee Adams, and Caleb Meyer.

Kelly Ording New Works
Bay Area artist Kelly Ording’s minimalist paintings immerse viewers in a familiar realm where saturated colors and delicately rendered forms capture the essence of the fleeting moments that shape time. Her slow, methodical process involves hand-dyeing paper before meticulously applying repetitive, organic designs. Infused with a rhythmic, musical quality, Ording’s mark-making follows a predictable beat, achieving a harmonious balance between mathematical precision and lyrical grace.
The portraits in this series feature Syrian refugee families posed together on boxes against the vast empty deserts in southern Jordan. Forced to relocate multiple times a year in search of destinations with adequate rainfall, the faces of the individuals express resolute fortitude and solidarity. While the photographs monumentalize a loss of place by elevating the refugees on a proverbial pedestal, Brandt demonstrates that the connections we forge and a shared sense of humanity provide the strength to rise.
The Echo Of Our Voices is the fourth chapter of “The Day May Break,” Nick Brandt’s ongoing series focusing on those impacted by environmental destruction and climate change. Brandt’s unique approach to climate-conscious photography celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and the stabilizing effects of community in the face of adversity.

Best of the West is a group show of gallery artists showcasing an array of subjects and interpretations of the American West, from historical to contemporary. Displaying vintage photographs from Edward Curtis’ 30-year project “The North American Indian” (1898-1928) across the board to western pop works from Andy Warhol’s “Cowboys and Indians” series (1986).
Other artist works include David Yarrow’s large-scale photographic works, which often evoke a feeling of curiosity, laughter, and awe with their spectacular backgrounds, recognizable models, eccentric Western characters, and trained animals.
Broschofsky Galleries also highlights recent acquisitions of paintings by Russell Chatham. Viewing a Chatham painting typically elicits a feeling of recognition of place. What is revealed is a feeling, a sense of emotion that goes deeper than the visual mind.
Other works by gallery artists will also be on display: Bill Barrett, Emil Bisttram, Rudi Broschofsky, Jim Dine, Joellyn Duesberry, Ewoud de Groot, Joan Mitchell, Ken Peloke, Billy Schenck, Theodore Villa, Russell Young, and More.

Around the Bend
Opening night reception December 27, 5-7:30pm
The beauty and wonder of resin have captured the human imagination since the Stone Age. For millennia, cultures around the world have used nature’s resin and amber in jewelry and various adornments. In the 1930s, artists began a new chapter in this long history with the invention of epoxy resin, a highgloss synthetic material to which a vast array of color pigments can be added.
In December, Hemmings Gallery will feature the resin art of Lola, a Bay-area artist whose exhibition Around the Bend promises a continuation of this great tradition. Having worked with resin for over a decade, Lola’s technique and artistic process have also evolved.
“I’m always dreaming about what’s next. What will excite and inspire? Which parts of former bodies of work will challenge new bodies of work,” she shares. Compared with earlier geometric multi-layered pieces, her new exhibition will feature softer colors and more literal curves on her signature drip-edged panels.
But like fossils in amber, she understands that the true power of her material lies in its ability to capture the viewer’s thoughts and emotions.
“I begin each piece by choosing the colors that reflect a feeling but can also bring
about a new emotional state,” she says, “As I pour, a form begins to appear on the surface, and a dialogue starts. These forms are similar to characters in a play. They speak to me and guide me to create their shape further. Eventually, they interact and engage with each other. The challenge in creating this type of abstraction is leaving the emotion undefined. With each artwork, my intent is to create an experience. I allow the viewer to think, feel, and find their own significant meaning behind the work.”
Hunt Slonem is primarily a painter focused on naturalistic subject matter, emphasizing bright color. His reference to the mystical is prevalent as his work pivots between the fantastic and the natural; these natural forms ultimately become the subjects of many of his artworks. Repetition is also a prominent aspect of his work. To Hunt, repetition is a reference to Andy Warhol; however, the true nature of his repetition is a spiritual practice, a worship.
As an artist, he endeavors to explore the many expressive faculties of color, and his paintings are rich and layered with thick brushstrokes of vivid color. Since his first solo show at Fischbach Gallery in 1977, his works have joined the permanent collections of museums, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Whitney, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Würth Museum, the Miro Foundation, and the New Orleans Museum of Art.

Walking into the Pioneer Saloon in Ketchum is like greeting an old friend. It’s often the first stop for locals coming home or visitors starting a memorable vacation. For more than 50 years, the Pioneer has been welcoming its loyal customers with a warm and cozy atmosphere that feels more like someone’s home than a restaurant. Renowned for perfectly aged and flavorful beef, many varieties of seafood, fresh Idaho rainbow trout, and Northwest regional specials, the Pioneer is much more than a steakhouse. Unique and historic western art fills the bar and restaurant, reminiscent of earlier days when pioneers settled in this valley. Authentic and genuine friendly service from familiar faces will make you feel as though you have arrived home when you walk in the door. As the locals say, “If you haven’t been to the Pioneer Saloon, you haven’t been to Ketchum.”
Always busy with a fun mix of locals and visitors alike, The Sawtooth Club has been downtown Ketchum’s most beloved destination for dining and cocktails since the days when Ernest Hemingway himself was a regular there. Nowadays, the place is more popular than ever with an inspired menu offering a mouthwatering blend of creative small plates to share, grilled steaks, chops and ribs, healthy vegetarian dishes, fresh seafood, unique pasta bowls, nightly specials and much more.
In the bar enjoy handcrafted cocktails, 18 wines by the glass, and 12 ice-cold craft brews on tap. Dinner offerings this season include fresh Idaho trout, filet mignon, linguine with clams, chicken Senegalese, mesquite rack of lamb, grilled ribeye steak, fresh steelhead salmon, butternut squash ravioli, barbeque baby back ribs, vegan and gluten-free sesame noodle bowl, Waygu beef meatloaf, New Orleans shellfish pasta, roasted free-range chicken, fresh steamer clams, seared ahi salad, awesome burgers and sandwiches, to name just a few.
All of our grilling is done over a live mesquite-wood fire. We do not use processed charcoal or wood chips, only authentic mesquite logs from Texas. This method of natural wood cooking generates the intense heat that sears in the flavorful juices and imparts a variety of subtle tastes and aromas to meat, poultry, and seafood.
An award-winning wine list complements the wonderful food, and winter evenings around the large central fireplace are not to be missed. One visit and you’ll know why The Sawtooth Club has repeatedly been voted the “Valley’s Best Overall Restaurant and The Valley’s Best Bar!”
