The Deer Valley Ski Resort

Deer Valley Resort was rated the #1 ski resort in North America by SKI magazine in 2001 and 2005 and #2 in 2006. This acclaim is based on the beautiful setting, luxury, great Utah snow, and variety of terrain that Deer Valley has to offer. This resort was home to the slalom, mogul, and aerial events of the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. Skiers at Deer Valley will not be disappointed by the 3,000 vertical feet and 1,750 acres of ski able terrain that is at their ski tips. This is an amazing resort destination for skiers of all abilities.


About 15% of Deer Valley’s terrain is rated beginner. This mountain is famous for its’ smooth, groomed runs which are perfect for beginners or those who just want to cruise. Bald Eagle Mountain and Little Baldy Peak provide plenty of wide-open trails. Favorite runs for families include Navigator and Success. Lessons are available for skiers of all ages and abilities. Another nice touch for parents is the free pagers offered to alleviate concerns of cell phone coverage on the mountain.


For the intermediate or advanced skier, the rest of the mountain is your domain. The challenging skiing along Bald Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain, and Empire Canyon will be sure to please. Runs of note include Know You Don’t (site of the 2002 Olympic slalom events) for narrow rock-lined chutes and Champion (site of the 2002 Olympic freestyle events) for steep mogul fields.
