As someone who splits time between SoCal and the slopes, this is HUGE. Alaska Airlines is launching a seasonal direct flight from San Diego to Sun Valley, Idaho starting Dec 18 through March 2026. Flying three times a week, this new route finally gives beach-loving locals a streamlined path to some of the best groomed runs and alpine charm in the Northwest.
I’ve been to Sun Valley before, but getting there always felt like a mission. Now with this direct option, it’s almost too easy to pack up the skis for a weekend dash from palm trees to powder.
Anyone else planning to take advantage of this route?
