Return to Index History & History Related Items Sun Valley history: The Guyer Hot Springs Resort, on Warm Springs Road, helped make Ketchum famous by the late 1800's. The Resort combined with the mining operations here, caused many to visit the area at that time. By 1936, with the slowdown in mining, there were only about 100 year-round residents in Ketchum. In January of '36, Count Felix Schaffgosch came into the valley. He had been hired by the Union Pacific Chairman, Averell Harriman, to find a "perfect spot" for a ski resort. It didn't take more than a couple of days for the County to decide on this spot for the resort. He wired Harriman: "Among the many attractive spots I have visited, this combines the more delightful features of any place I have seen in the United States, Switzerland, or Austria for a winter ski resort." In less than a year, the luxurious Sun Valley Resort was completed and the doors were open to international publicity. The Sun Valley /Ketchum area was on the map. Among those who "fell in love" with Sun Valley were: Ernest Hemingway, Clark Gable, Ingrid Bergman and many others. It was here that Hemingway finished his book, "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
