Snoose and Other Stories

By Art Jensen

The Wood River Valley in central Idaho is a magical place. Something to do with the air and the light. I was lucky to have grown up there. The people who came to the valley in the late 1800s raised sheep, cut timber and dug in the earth for gold and silver. My father, a mining engineer, came to the valley in 1928 to dig in the earth. I was born in 1940. We lived in a cabin in a mining camp at a mine called the Triumph. My father managed the mine. Another mine was added called the North Star. A third mine was opened up called the Snoose. In 1936, the Union Pacific Railroad built the nation's first destination ski resort in our mountains and called it Sun Valley. The rich and famous then came to play and experience the magic of the light and the air. But, when I was growing up, those people came and played and then left the valley to us. This is a story about that time.
