Deer Valley Ski Holidays USA
"A ski day in Deer Valley is always going to be a great ski day! The service both on and off the slopes is exceptional – every guest is a VIP here. The grooming is second to none but there is some fun challenging skiing too, especially the runs off skiers left of Empire Express chair. Exciting times are coming too, this winter Deer Valley will open the first part of the expansion that will see the ski area more than double in size."
Deer Valley Ski Holidays
Deer Valley Resort is located in Park City, Utah and is next to Park City Mtn and is one of Utah's best ski holiday choices. It is a 'skiers only' resort, where snowboarding is not permitted.
Deer Valley is an unashamedly upscale ski resort renowned for its exclusivity and unrivalled service. Deer Valley offers (took out Look Hard, seems a little negative) steeps and tree runs aplenty but Deer Valley is aimed fair and square at less aggressive skiers who appreciate the best things in life - untouched perfectly groomed corduroy being one of them!
Deer Valley offers a relatively short transfer from Salt Lake City airport (only 36 miles) and a concentration of luxury ski hotels. Alternatively for more moderately priced lodging you'll find a variety of options in the town of Park City which is a short shuttle ride away.
Skiing in Deer Valley
Deer Valley has fantastic skiing on varied terrain spread over four mountains, and a bounty of 25 feet of powder snow each year. If you love skiing on perfectly prepared groomers on pristine Utah powder then Deer Valley is the place for you.
Skiers of all abilities are spoilt for choice at here - whether you’re gently snowploughing down the network of green runs that stretch from the highest points to the base area, or carving high speed GS turns down the corduroy steeps - skiing here is sure to put a big smile on your face. And if there’s fresh snow overnight, as is often the case here, there are endless outstanding powder stashes, glades and tree runs on offer – head to Centennial bowl for some truly amazing terrain that will leave you gasping for more.
A stop for gourmet dining at one of the three elegant day lodges is a must – quite probably the best on-mountain dining in North America. A trip to neighbouring Park City Mountain should also be on your ‘to do list’ – another world-class resort, and the USA's biggest resort with over 7000+ acres of prime Utah terrain, within easy reach of Deer Valley, served by the free local bus.
For the 2025/26 ski season, Deer Valley unveils nearly 100 new ski runs, 10 new chairlifts, and the 10-passenger East Village Express Gondola, connecting the new Deer Valley East Village with Park Peak. This is part of a transformational vision that more than doubles our skiable terrain of the resort. Deer Valley will remain ski only.

We cooked everything, and I do mean everything, from scratch in our closet of a kitchen. We still do. Eight years later we doubled in size, added a beautiful yet cozy bar, created a catering company and we are home to the best sushi in Park City, Blind Dog Style of course!"
