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.
