Located {{convert|12|mi}} north of Fairfield in very rural Camas County, its summit elevation is {{convert|7177|ft}} above sea level with a vertical drop of {{convert|1425|ft}}. The area has two chairlifts in series on its east-facing slopes, and a magic carpet was installed in the fall of 2012 near the base.[1] HistoryAfter watching the 1948 Winter Olympic tryouts in nearby Sun Valley, Bob Frostenson and his friend, Harry Durall, decided they couldn’t turn their backs on the sport of skiing. That summer they raised $10,000, began work on a base lodge, and purchased two rope tows, the first powered by a 1938 Chevrolet engine. They cut timber, installed lifts, and built lodges by hand.[2] The first chairlift was installed in 1971, and the upper chairlift (Bird's Eye) was added in 1974. Soldier has {{convert|1150|acre|km2}} of variable terrain including a terrain park, glades, bowls, and tree skiing. Soldier maintains snowmaking capabilities, although it has not operated since 1996. Soldier Mountain is open from Thursday through Sunday, except for the Christmas holiday season when it is open daily. Four miles (6 km) west of Soldier's summit is Smoky Dome, with an elevation of {{convert|10095|ft}}. In between there are several peaks well over {{convert|9000|ft|-1}}: Peak 1 at {{convert|9147|ft}} and Peak 2 at {{convert|9529|ft}} are used in Soldier's backcountry skiing operations, served by snow cat. Speculation is that Willis plans lift service to some of these areas.[3] An early morning fire on Monday, March 30, 2009, destroyed the 61-year-old base lodge. The cause was attributed to electrical wiring, and occurred shortly after the final day of the ski season.[4][5][6] A new {{convert|4500|sqft|m2|adj=on}} base lodge was constructed and Soldier Mountain reopened ten months later, on January 28, 2010.[7][8][9] Actor Bruce Willis, a part-time resident of Hailey, bought the ski area in the mid-1990s. After nearly two decades of ownership, he donated it in 2012 to a non-profit organization, Soldier Mountain Ski Area, Inc. Many of its members are from the area and have been skiing/boarding the mountain since childhood.[1][10][11] Lifts
