The treeless Dollar caters primarily to beginner and lower intermediate skiers; the primary mountain for advanced skiers is Bald Mountain, or "Baldy", next to the city of Ketchum.
The Half Dollar chairlift serves a terrain park for snowboarders and skiers.
Dollar Mountain consists of trails that are gentler in pitch and shorter than those on Baldy.
A new day lodge at the base of Dollar was built and completed in the fall of 2004 and is comparable in spaciousness and style (massive timber, river rock, & glass) to the day lodges at Bald Mountain.
[1] New permanent snowmaking was installed in the fall of 2006 on some of the ski runs on Dollar, ensuring better snow coverage during periods of low snowfall.
