SKI DEER VALLEY

Super deluxe and quite special, Deer Valley Resort is a world-class resort focused on personal service. Little details like uniformed "ski valets" to care for your gear and attended ski storage are unique to Deer Valley Resort.
In addition to gracious pampering, the skiing is not to be denied. It is spectacular: 1,825 groomed acres on four mountains laid out in 91 runs that follow the natural contours of the rolling landscape.
Skiing feels effortless here, or perhaps, all that pampering has worked its wonders. There are plenty of long mogul runs and six bowls with endless tree skiing for the most demanding expert, while the rest of us can enjoy blissful cruising forever.

Host of the aerials, slalom, and moguls events of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Remember, Deer Valley is a skier's mountain and snowboarders are not allowed on the slopes.
