Deer Valley - platinum Utah resortDeer Valley is the platinum Utah resort with the ultra-customer service and dramatically improved skiing terrain, including such faces as skiing icon Stein Eriksen -- the Olympic champion who looks - and skis - like he's much younger than his 70-plus years. Deer Valley, Utah, hosted slalom racing on the alpine schedule plus freestyle's pulsating aerials and moguls events in the 2002 Olympics.
Bald Eagle Mountain has an elevation 8,400 feet and offers ideal terrain for beginner and intermediate skiers. First-time skiers will appreciate the separate, protected beginners' area known as Wide West, accessed by two chairlifts, Burns and Snowflake. The ski area in the real estate development of Deer Crest is accessible by Little Stick or Navigator ski runs or by catching the Jordanelle Express Gondola, at the Mayflower/Deer Crest entrance on Highway 40. Bald Eagle Mountain also served as the venue for Deer Valley's 2002 Olympic Games events. Champion was the site of the freestyle moguls competitions, Know You Don't the site of the slalom events, and White Owl the site of the aerials events.
Bald Mountain has an elevation 9,400 feet. There you can find intermediate and challenging skiing along with spectacular views. Strong skiers in search of steeper, ungroomed trails and Utah's famous light powder will find them on numerous runs in the Sultan and Mayflower areas.
There are also Flagstaff Mountain which offers intermediate and beginner ski trails, in addition to extensive gladed areas and access to Ontario Bowl and Empire Canyon for skiing for all abilities with some of the most advanced skiing at Deer Valley, including eight chutes and three bowls.
Visitors can enjoy World Renouned Performers in a World Class Setting. It includs outdoor performances, by the Utah Symphony, of Classical, Pops and a fully-staged Operetta that take place at Deer Valley's Snowpark Lodge, one of the country's most spectacular mountain settings.
Park City Mountain Resort has made significant improvements with a price tag of $35 million in recent seasons starting at the summit and working down to the base of the mountain, adding new facilities and upgrading older ones along the way. The Legacy Lodge at the Resort Center is a state-of-the-art day lodge complete with dining services and retail shops.
Tavelling agencies advice to check out the Sitka Super Play Park and the public MountainCross course. Located near the NASTAR course on Blanche, the MountainCross course offers side-by-side racing with a mix of bumps, berms, and banked turns. You can also take the family tubing at Gorzoga Park. Unlike your neighborhood hill, Gorzoga has eight lanes and is lift-serviced. It's endless family fun (and perfect for night-time outings, too).
The wonderfully relaxed summer days and activities at Deer Valley Resort make the transition from winter to summer something to look forward to. Summer at the Resort follows a different pace than that of winter, and offers its own subtle magic.
With the emergence of the summer season comes the return of outdoor music festivals, summer camp, mountain biking, hiking, scenic chairlift rides and al fresco dining. With the cool mountain temperatures, affordable lodging and an abundance of activities, summer is the perfect time to visit Deer Valley Resort for Deer Valley ski vacations.
