Deer Valley Skiing Resort
Deer Valley Resort was rated the number one skiing resort in North America by SKI magazine in 2001 and 2005 and number two in 2006. This rating is given for the beautiful setting, luxury, awesome Utah snow, and variety of terrain that Deer Valley has to offer. This skiing 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 ft. and 1,750 acres of ski able terrain that is at their ski tips. Deer Valley is an awesome ski resort for skiers of all abilities.
Around 15% of Deer Valleys slopes are rated beginner. This resort is known for its smooth, groomed runs which are fantastic for beginners or people who feel like cruising. Bald Eagle Mountain and Little Baldy Peak offer many wide-open trails. Preferred runs for families include Navigator and Success. Lessons are provided for skiers of all ages and abilities. Another nice thing for parents is the free pagers offered to alleviate concerns about cell phone coverage on the mountain.
For the medium or advanced skier, the rest of the mountain is where you should be. The challenging skiing along Bald Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain, and Empire Canyon should be able to please. Runs of note include Know You Dont (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.
In addition, Deer Valley offers NASTAR racing for the recreational skier. Every Skier is welcome to put their skills to the test against the clock. Deer Valley is also equipped with the Slope Tracker GPS System. The technologically saavy skier can benefit from this system to keep tabs on all sorts of statistics such as runs skied and vertical feet flown.
For the daring skier, be sure to check out Deer Valleys Tricks n Turns (TNT) Terrain Park found off of the Little Chief lift. This area contains fun double-barrel rails and tabletop jumps. You don't need extraordinary to try this park! Remember no snowboarding is allowed at Deer Valley. The nearby Park City Mountain Resort and the Canyons Resort will receive skiers and boarders and offer their own acres of powdery fun.
