Deer Valley, Utah

Deer Valley is the fairy princess of Utah skiing, “the fairest of them all” in any skier’s storybook. Deer Valley is everything you have heard about; rated the #1 resort by Ski Magazine readers, four and five diamond lodging, award-winning on mountain cuisine, ski valets that carry your skis from your car. Snowboarders are not allowed and lift ticket sales are limited to 6,500 a day to assure everyone has a seat in their luxurious lodges. What’s not limited is the terrain, with five separate peaks spreading over 2,026 acres, 3,000-vertical served by 22 lifts including 11 high-speed quads and a leather-upholstered gondola.

Start your day riding The Silver Lake Express to the upper mountain and head for gorgeous groomed cruisers on Bald and Flagstaff Mountains, and powder-filled aspen groves tucked in between like Triangle Trees.

Deer ValleyTrails like Hidden Treasure and Legal Tender reflect the silver discovered in these mountains in 1868. Deer Valley slopes coined over $400 million in silver, today the gold rush is in real estate, as magnificent mountain mansions hug the hillsides of the buffed slopes. Stein's Run is named for Olympian and Director of Skiing Stein Eriksen.

Empire Canyon is Deer Valley at its peaks, 9,570’, here in Daly’s Bowl this pampered paradise gets double black steep with chutes and tremendous tree stashes. For more mellow terrain, ski the scenic run to Deer Valley’s Jordanelle Gondola passing by magnificent mountain mansions and the St Regis Deer Valley.

Deer Valley's lodges serve the finest slopeside food in ski country. Lodging is extensive and elegant, whether you choose the delightful Austrian  The Goldener Hirsch or The Lodges at Deer Valley or the swank new green Montage at Deer Valley.
