BIG WOOD SKI
A pair of American-made skis is the perfect souvenir when you visit the Sun Valley, especially if you decide you want to return. Big Wood Ski will custom make a handsome set for you, but keep in mind: These aren’t for amateurs. The Ski Shaper™, Caleb Baukol, knows how to craft them to World Cup specifications. After all, he has been obsessed with perfecting skis for almost 30 years.
This Idaho Green Powered company designs Custom Alpine Skis, Children’s Powder Skis and Nordic Skis. What looks like a slender slab of wood is much more. At its core are pure bamboo, fiberglass, carbon fiber and Kevlar. As if that doesn’t provide enough strength and flexibility, each ski is also carefully constructed with carbon steel edges, strips of vibration-reducing rubber foil and resistance-building black carbon. The finishing touch is your choice of a rich cherry, traditional maple, edgy African Bubinga or textured zebra wood finish. It’s impossible not to be a proud owner.

ALASKA FUR GALLERY
One of the best ways to stay warm during wintertime is natural fur or leather, and the Alaska Fur Gallery has a large selection of toasty jackets and accessories. Big and poufy coats and manageable vests – they all come in everything from red fox and wolf to beaver and mink. If you’re not the fashion-statement type, it’s okay. A list of shearlings meets the same purpose with less pouf. And defining or manly leather jackets provide the slick look many desire with natural resistance to rain and wind. If you’re not excited about wearing Italian lamb, you can settle for a festive pair of earmuffs.

FRENCHMAN'S GULCH WINERY
If you want to pick up a bottle of wine, then find one at Frenchman’s Gulch Winery instead of the local grocery. The philosophy of this family-run business is to “bring the best grapes to the coolest place,” and hand-crafting each barrel means these wine-lovers have an intimate knowledge of each barrel they produce. Silky tannins and balance define their wax-dipped bottles of red wine, which benefit from the high altitude environment. Buy a couple bottles or an entire case – the ripe taste is worth every cent.

MADELINE + OLIVER
Madeline + Oliver is the perfect blend of sexy, adorable and comfortable. It’s motto, “Everything for above & below the sheets,” summarizes it well. From fluffy comforters to stitched pillows, you could easily give your bedroom a maker over. But why stop there?
Get her a dainty bathrobe or a new set of undies. Get him a new shoulder bag or socks that don’t mess around. And for the baby, there are cute bodysuits with snowflake sweater patterns. Anyone can enjoy new lotions, and a sleep mask will make you feel pampered as you get your beauty sleep on the trip back home.

MAIN ST. MARKET
If you need a snack, want to cook a healthy dinner or need your gluten-free fix, then stop by Main St. Market. It stocks a host of local Idaho brands which you might not be able to find elsewhere. Steph’s Seriously Good Salsa speaks for itself, and Ballard Cheese produces tempting varieties such as Truffle Salt Cheddar and Idaho White Cheddar. You can get your Sockeye salmon cheaper here than in a restaurant, and a large selection of wine and bubbly will keep you warm on a chilly night.
Did we mention there’s a café/deli onsite? The menu items are packed full of veggies and freshness. The long list of soups is perfect for a snowy day, too!

THE PICKET FENCE
The Picket Fence excels at the art of “nesting.” This red-barn-looking structure was opened in 1978 when its owner realized there wasn’t a store in the area that sold bedding. You may not feel like you’re in a store though. It’s incredibly homey inside, and it’s carefully designed products can seem more like artwork that items for sale. The itinerary is diverse, so you can arrive in search of an item or simply browse around. The down comforters are luxurious, the china is tasteful and the kids’ corner is playful. The bath area is extensive too!

THE TOY STORE
Get all nostalgic with Slinky and Lincoln Logs as your kids freak out over Hex Bugs and Gotz Dolls. The Toy Store in Sun Valley and Ketchum is a dream for kids of every age. From stuffed animals to toy organizing solutions, there’s a little of everything. You can try to steer your children to the book section, but it’s likely everyone will get distracted on the way by Ogo Sport and Wild Planet toys. If you’re trying to suck up to the kids before the long car ride home, this is the place to go.
