Deer Valley Reviews & Tips (23)
Deer Valley has very nice skiing, some of it challenging, but I think the amenities at the resort are a bit of a distraction (specifically then lunch that everybody raves about). Don't get me wrong, it's a great lunch, but if you're the kind of person who goes to a resort to get some serious skiing in, then go to Canyons or Park City....or at least pack a lunch. It's very expensive and you ROLL out of the place. It's very difficult to ski after a big lunch there. The skiing is fine, but it can be a little dull. Some of the runs are very short. One of the upsides is that some of its groomed blues and blacks are pretty darn steep, straight shots. Coming from the East, I don't have any reason to return there when I could go to Canyons or Park City.

We just got back from a ski trip to Utah with our 3 boys, ages 11,9, and 6, in tow. It was their first time out West so we enrolled them in ski school. After skiing for 4 days at the Canyons and having them participate in their ski school, we decided to try out Deer Valley and their ski school. One would think that for the price, the student to instructor ratio would be a little better than it actually was. My 6 year old son was in a group with 4 other kids. My 11 and 9 year old sons were in a group together with a total of 6 kids to 1 instructor. When we picked them up, the instructors were very friendly, but my kids all said they didn't really learn a lot. The older kids compared it to an expensive daycare and preferred the Canyons hands down. My husband and I enjoyed our adult private lesson and learned a lot. The bottom line, if you want to go skiing to be seen in a posh resort and enjoy great food, ski Deer Valley. However, if you are a family on a ski vacation to enjoy a variety of terrain with a great ski school and still have excellent options for dining, then the Canyons is the place to be.

Snow at DV was good considering PC base was lower than usual. We took the bus from the PC main street transit station and arrived at DV Snow Park Lodge in 15 minutes. The ticket window had no problems with my liftopia voucher. The lockers are on the left if you need to drop your stuff off for the day. Lockers are $2 for single entry. Took Silver Lake Express to Silver Lake Lodge to get to Quincy Express. Make sure you get enough speed to get to Quincy Express. We tried out the Lady Morgan this year and the Empire Express. Nice long runs and great view of the valley also not too many people on that side. Getting down from Flagstaff is always a challenge but the guides at the maps were very helpful. You have to take the Home Stake lift to get over the mountain to get back to Snow Park Lodge. I would definitely do this again and highly recommend.

When the mountain host tour says they start at 1:30pm sharp, they aren't kidding. We missed it by minutes due to confusing trail signs.
Deer Valley review written Feb 07 2013 - 08:32 PM
Among Deer Valley, Park City Mountain and Canyons each skied over the past 3 consecutive days, Deer Valley had sub-par snow surface conditions and poor grooming. All runs at PCMR and Canyons were superior to any runs at DV in terms of snow conditions. DV does have great staff/service, food and facilities, lifts included, no question about that, and great terrain too, but bad snow/skiing surface conditions overshadowed all the good. If you want great skiing, do PCMR or Canyons. If you're hungry and need pampered, do Deer Valley. I prefer great skiing!!

The staff at Deer Valley that handle ski rentals and lift ticket sales were not too familiar with how to handle my Liftopia pre-paid package. However, they were really nice about helping work through the process. Once they figured it out, it was great. I tried to tell my friends to use this site, but they waited until they got there and spent $80 more for the same package I purchased through Liftopia. I've been skiing a handful of times (i.e. Winter Park, Purgatory, Taos, & Deer Valley) This is far and away better than I've ever experienced.

The snow was fantastic, the staff was very nice and it is wonderfull to ski without snowborders! I really enjoy deer valley and the lunch at the stein hotel is magnificent!
Deer Valley review written Jan 09 2013 - 10:44 AM
A great way to end our trip. No snowboarders is a nice change. The late season conditions were fine...get out early and enjoy. Starting from the Silver Lake Lodge is necessary. The staff was friendly 'everywhere' on the mountain...The food in the lodge is 'AMAZING'. Fresh, healthy and lots of choices. Can't wait to go back next spring break!
Deer Valley review written Apr 07 2012 - 06:15 PM
Mid-mountain "beach" is an awesome place to hang out between runs or if you're a non-skiier. Bar and restaurant right there and beautiful view. You can drive to Silver Lake Lodge and park right there. Beautifully groomed slopes...loved it!

If you rent equipment, there are rental options right at Deer Valley. This makes it easy to pick up your skis and boots and go right onto the lift. Returning equipment is a cinch. There is a public bus system that shuttles skiiers from Main Street in Park City and it drops you off and picks you up right at the lodge. The people who work at Deer Valley are exceptional - they go out of their way to make things easy for you. For example, they offer free overnight checking of your boots and skis etc. I would definitely return. It's a perfect place for intermediate skiiers.

Posto meraviglioso per sciare, mangiare e portare tutta la famiglia.

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!
Deer Valley review written Nov 30 2011 - 11:03 AM
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.
Deer Valley review written Mar 21 2011 - 03:14 AM
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!
Deer Valley review written Mar 18 2011 - 05:45 PM
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.
Deer Valley review written Mar 08 2011 - 02:07 PM
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.
Deer Valley review written Feb 14 2011 - 02:06 PM
6 Mountains. No lines. Runs for all levels. Expert instructors. No Snowboarders. 5 Star Quality!!!

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.

Never had a bad day at Deer Valley. Good food, something for everyone!
Deer Valley review written Apr 06 2010 - 04:18 PM
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.
