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 right next to Park City 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. Look hard enough and you'll find 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!

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.
