In the Sun Valley 's fourth year of operation ( 1939 -- 40 ), Bald Mountain was opened for lift - served skiing with three single chairlifts, in a series, unloading at an elevation of 9020 feet ( 2749 m ), just below the mountain summit. With a base elevation of 5750 feet ( 1753 m ) along the Big Wood River at River Run, Baldy 's vertical drop is 3400 feet ( 1036 m ) along its northeast face. It is served by 14 ski lifts ( 1 eight - person gondola, 7 high - speed quads, 3 triples, 2 doubles, 1 surface ) ; Baldy has more uphill capacity per skier than any other ski area. It has 75 runs with 2054 acres ( 8.31 km2 ) of on - piste skiing, 645 acres ( 2.61 km2 ) of which have snowmaking. The slope ratings are 36 % easiest, 42 % more difficult, and 22 % most difficult.
