Friedman Memorial Airport KSUN / SUN
The Sun Valley resort airport in Hailey, 25 minutes from Ketchum and the Sun Valley lodge, with Atlantic as sole FBO and no CBP (clear at Boise or Salt Lake). Terrain-constrained approaches require RNP capability and winter weather often diverts flights to Twin Falls; the Allen & Co conference (July) fills the ramp.
