Sepp's to Poverty Flats is a beginner ski trail located at Sun Valley. The trails run from the summit of Dollar Mountian down to Carol's Dollar Mountain Day Lodge at the bottom of the mountain. The run begins to the skier's right of the summit of the Dollar chairlift on a gentle traverse. I took the first left of the traverse onto Sepp's, which features a gentle pitch as it runs through the bottom of a small canyon. The trail ends at the end of the canyon, near the top of the Quarter Dollar chairlift, and merges onto Poverty Flats, one of the main learn-to-ski trails at the resort which runs gently straight down the mountain before arriving at the base area.

The resort is located in Blaine County, about a 15-minute drive north of Hailey, a 1.5-hour drive north of Twin Falls, a 2.5-hour drive east of Boise, a 3-hour drive northwest of Pocatello and west of Idaho Falls, and a 4.5-hour drive northwest of Salt Lake City, Utah. Sun Valley comprises of two separate mountains. Bald Mountain, the larger of the two mountains, is located above the town of Ketchum and is known for its consistently steep and long groomers, including those off of the Challenger chairlift, the largest chairlift in the world by vertical feet. Dollar Mountian, located closer to the Sun Valley Resort, is a small family-oriented hill with a variety of beginner and intermediate terrain for less experienced skiers, as well as the ski area's largest terrain parks. Sun Valley is owned by the Holding Family, which also owns Snowbasin in Utah as well as a collection of hotels. The resort is a partner of the Ikon Pass, with base pass holders receiving five days at the mountain and full pass holders receiving seven days.
