Gretchen Fraser, the first woman to win a gold medal in the winter Olympics, was from Sun Valley. She is now buried in the Ketchum Cemetery. New York PR agent, Steve Hannigan, thought up the name "Sun Valley" for this region as it receives 250 days of sunshine each year.

His home is now an historic site owned by the Nature Conservancy. Hemingway is buried in the Ketchum Cemetery. Sun Valley Resort's uphill lift capacity on Bald Mountain is 21,580 skiers per hour.
