Rated the #1 ski resort in North America in 2008, 2009 and again in 2010 by the readers of SKI Magazine, Deer Valley Resort never stops striving to better their guests' ski vacation experience.

Deer Valley revolutionized the ski industry 29 years ago by being the first North American resort to provide the first-class service one would find at a five-star... hotel.

Offering luxurious amenities such as three beautiful on-mountain lodges, groomed-to-perfection slopes, powder-laden glade skiing and ten on-mountain restaurants, featuring unforgettable award-winning cuisine. The sorts of services that have made the Resort famous include ski valets, on-mountain child care, an award-winning ski school, and Resort owned-and-operated Deer Valley Resort Lodging and Reservations, a property management company and one-stop vacation planning center fully staffed with experienced professionals who can plan every aspect of your vacation, from lodging to equipment rentals to child care and dinner reservations. Exceptional customer service, consistent quality and attention to every detail are all part of the Deer Valley experience, including limiting the number of ski lift tickets sold on a daily basis. Their six mountains: Little Baldy Peak, Bald Eagle, Bald Mountain, Flagstaff, Empire Canyon and Lady Morgan, offer a wide variety of skiing terrain.

Top all of that off with the bounty of 300 annual inches of the Greatest Snow on Earth®, amazingly easy accessibility (just 36 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport) and a uniquely beautiful natural surrounding, and you get the vacation experience of a lifetime.

The wonderfully relaxed summer days and activities at Deer Valley Resort, located in the historic mining town of Park City, Utah, make the transition from winter to summer something to look forward to. This summer season, we invite you to join us for a summer filled with lift-served mountain biking, hiking, scenic chairlift rides, dining on the decks of Royal Street Café and Deer Valley Grocery ~ Café, outdoor concerts at the Snow Park Amphitheater and mountain bike races. New this season is the addition of Ruby Express, located in the Empire Canyon area of our summer chairlift operations.

Great snow (even during dry winters, thanks to a massive arsenal of snowmakers), wonderful grooming, no boarders, and a limited number of lift passes sold each day to ensure minimal wait times. It has more blue runs than black, but there is a great variety for all ranges of skiers, which is great for large groups. There is a reason it has won resort of the year for 5 years running. It is a skier's paradise. The only trouble we ran into was that many green runs are located at the end of blue runs, which is less than ideal for beginning skiers. The food is incredible, by the way. Expensive, but delicious.

There are many hidden treasures for advanced skiers. People think of Deer Valley as an intermediate mountain with lots of groomers. They have that, but so much more. Great steeps, especially through the trees. Ask the locals or mountain guides as some of the best skiing is not marked on the trailmap!

Bring your fur coats!!! Deer Valley ahhh always rated #1 in some magazine, what's it really like? Well if you love long blue groomers and a nice lunch you will absolutely love this place! Very nice runs for carving down at high speeds, great cafeterias, good people watching! Lame terrain for those looking for blacks, but some good tree skiing. If you hit this place on a pow day you will have little competition for good snow as most of the crowd here will either be skiing the groomers or lodge skiing (think fireplace and $6 hot coco). Overall if you are an intermediate skiier coming out to Utah take a rest day here and enjoy the finer skiing points.

this is a beautiful place, very upscale, well groomed, lots of choice of where to ski that could suit any ability. Almost every mountain has a green run which gives peace of mind to the less experienced, yet the experts in our party were very satisfied. Food is worth the splurge!

Overall we had a great time in Deer Valley. Only complaint was that a lot of the green were more like catwalks - not much room to really learn (my husband's a beginner). Great blue runs though, and not as high as some sites in Colorado, so altitude wasn't an issue for anyone.

Great place to ski. Parking is a little limited. Food is a little expensive but I can live with that. Over all one of the best ski resorts I have been to, it was my second time there and I will certainly return.

Good Place to ski. I have not skied in 6+ years so it was fun to get back on the sticks. But I'll keep boarding even if they never let us go there. Their loss>

Rent equipment at the resort! Call Deer Valley with the size of ski and boot you need. Park your car for free, walk to the lodge in you snow boots or slippers, grab your skis with just a signature, leave your shoes in the day storage and go ski with out schlepping anything anywhere. Have the ski corral watch your skis while you dine at the best ski food heaven ever and let all your cares float away.

DEFINITELY go to deer valey if you have the chance. No lift lines at all during the week, just ski down and get right on the lift without stopping. they perfectly groom a lot of runs each night, which makes the skiing amazing. no snowboarding leaves the snow in top condition always. be aware though that lift tickets are very expensive and so is the food.
