Deer Valley Skiing Resort was rated the number one ski resort in North America by SKI magazine in 2001 and 2005 and number one in 2006. This acclaim is because of the gorgeous surroundings, luxury status, great Utah snow, and the 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 three thousand vertical feet and 1,750 acres of ski-able territory at the tip of their skis. This is an awesome destination resort for skiers of all abilities.
About 15 percent of Deer Valley�s terrain is rated beginner. This mountain is known for its� smooth, groomed ski trips that are perfect for anyone that wants to cruise or those who just started skiing. Bald Eagle Mountain and Little Baldy Peak give plenty of wide trails. Family-favorite runs are the Navigator and Success. Any skier that wants lessons can have them no matter the age or ability. Another nice touch for parents is the free pagers offered to relieve worries of cell phone coverage on the mtn.
For the medium or advanced skier, the rest of the mountain is your domain. The harder skiing along Bald Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain, and Empire Canyon will be sure to please. Runs of distinction 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.
Another thing Deer Valley provides is NASTAR racing for any recreational skier. All skiers are welcome to test their skills against the clock. Deer Valley also has the Slope Tracker GPS System. The technologically saavy skier can take advantage of this system to keep track of all sorts of statistics such as runs skied and vertical feet flown.
For the daring skier, be certain to check out Deer Valley�s Tricks �n� Turns (TNT) Terrain Park found off of the Little Chief chairlift. This area contains fun double-barrel rails and tabletop jumps. You don't need extraordinary to try this park! Remember � absolutely no snowboarding is allowed at Deer Valley. The nearby Park City Mountain Resort and the Canyons Resort are open to skiers and boarders and offer their own acres of powdery fun.
