Pipe Dream A snowboarder catches air during a test run in the Sun Valley Resort superpipe Tuesday at Dollar Mountain. The superpipe—part of an expanded offering of terrain parks at Dollar—was opened to adventurous skiers and snowboarders on Wednesday. Though Mother Nature hasn’t delivered a lot of snow to the resort this season, cold temperatures have allowed for near-continuous snowmaking. On Thursday, the resort was running five of six lifts at Dollar, serving 10 trails and the terrain parks. Photo by Roland Lane
