101 Amazing Things To Do / Winter 2013-14

E

very morning when I look outside and see the sun making magic out of the surroundings here, I realize how blessed I am to call this place home.

I love it here for what’s on the outside—the spectacular

mountain ranges, the rippling rivers and the abundance of wildlife. I also delight in all that’s on the inside too—the art and music culture, the shopping, the museums rich with local history as well as the amazing people in the Valley, that I’m

happy to call my neighbors.

This winter’s edition of our bi-annual 101 Amazing Things to Do magazine, marks our sixth successful issue of enriching people’s lives, as it includes something for everyone.

We hope that you’ll enjoy the

magazine as much as we enjoy reminding you that we have so much to celebrate here – whether you are a local or a visitor, we would like to welcome you to winter in the Wood River Valley and hope you will enjoy it with us from beginning to end!

This year, discover what Symbiotic Systems Advanced Therapeutic Reflexology can do for you.

Are you familiar with Reflexology? Let’s let a respected medical center explain the benefits of reflexology.

“T

he Heart Center at St. Rita’s offers open-heart patients reflexology as a complimentary therapy to help speed recovery and reduce discomfort. (Helps all post-op conditions) Reflexology therapy strengthens and supports the body’s own healing process. The therapy, a safe non-invasive health practice, applies the principle that reflex areas in the feet and hands correspond to all parts of the body, including glands, organs and total body systems.

Stimulating these reflexes can help many health problems in a natural way. The act of applying pressure to reflex areas results in the reduction of stress, which promotes positive changes in the body. It can be used to restore and maintain the body’s natural equilibrium and encourage healing.”

I

n addition to the endorsement of major medical centers, (see my “health benefits” page on my website at www.reflex4usa.com) the National Foundation For Women Legislators (your female elected representatives) passed a resolution in 2012 encouraging the use of therapeutic reflexology as an effective means to improve a woman’s health and wellness. In doing so, they cited their own personal experience, the safety of reflexology and the fact that over 300 clinical trials exist supporting the effectiveness of reflexology. One major clinical trial determined foot reflexology was 93% effective in helping 63 different conditions. What if one of those conditions was yours? This is the most powerful aspect of reflexology. You come in for one concern and every major system in your body is tuned up. All at the same time and all at the same cost. Reflexology is the only healing modality that works this way.

My office is next to Shorty’s Diner on Main Street, Hailey.

Tourist friendly - the bus from Ketchum stops across the street.

Skinny skiing stensibly, they call Nordic skiing skinny skiing because you do it on skis barely an inch wide. But it also has a reputation as being a bun-buster when it comes to exorcising those calories you racked up in one of those pastries from The Konditeroi.

Ski The Elevator at Sun Valley Nordic or Psycho at Galena Lodge if you’re up for a rip-roaring schuss downhill. Or take it easy on one of the loops out Croy Nordic in Hailey.

Dogs are welcome on trails surrounding the SNRA seven miles north of Ketchum, as well as Billy’s Bridge and a couple trails outside Galena Lodge. They’re also welcome at small loops at Sun Valley Nordic, Croy and, of course, the entire bike path from Ketchum to Bellevue, which you and your dog can ski for free.

SKIING SUN VALLEY

Baldy and Dollar slopes t isn’t enough that “Outside Online” has named Baldy’s Warm Springs one of the “Five Runs You Need to Ride Before You Die.” Or that Sun Valley has been named the fourth best ski resort around by “SKI Magazine.”

Dollar Mountain is sporting North America’s biggest pipe this year—a 620-foot-long superpipe with 22-foot walls.

And the Sun Valley SnowSports School is introducing a Terrain-Based Learning Program tailored for early learners and intermediate skiers and boarders.

If you need your skis tuned, you might want to check out Pete Lane’s new Wintersteiger mercury machine—one of only 11 in the United States and the only one in Idaho. The machine is designed to enhance skiing performance by creating a better grip on hard slopes and keeping edges sharper for a longer period of time.

WOMAN FILM FEST

Family of Woman Film Festival ero in on an illiterate Bedouin woman—“Solar Mama”—who learns to make and maintain solar panels at Barefoot University in India. Meet women living in a stilt city on the water in Brazil in “Bay of All Saints.” These films are among five that will be shown March 7-9 at the Sun Valley Opera House as part of the Family of Woman Film Festival.

Launched in 2007 by Friends of UNFPA Board Member Peggy Elliott Goldwyn, the films highlight the struggles women face across the world—from sexual harassment in the U.S. armed services to “Divorce, Iranian Style.” This year’s festival is themed “Women and Education.”

“I can’t promise you Academy Award nominations as yet but we’ll see,” said Goldwyn, noting the awards past films have garnered. “We have films from Latin America, Africa, the Middle East and the United States, with several filmmakers committed to appear.”
