Deer Valley Resort

revolutionized the ski industry in 1981 by providing the attentive service, gourmet food and luxury accommodations one would experience at a fine hotel. Deer Valley was honored in 2001 by being named the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI magazine, and we proudly hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games slalom, aerials and moguls events. Exceptional customer service, consistent quality and attention to every detail are all part of the Deer Valley experience. And our four mountains, offering a wide variety of terrain, allow guests more than ample opportunity to indulge in our annual 300 inches of light, dry Utah powder.

Season Dates - Deer Valley is closed for 2004-05 ski season. We are scheduled to open on December 3, 2005 for the 2005-06 ski season, conditions permitting.
