Staying a short amount of time in Sun Valley is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay.

Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand.
