You can't dispute the beauty of the scenery at the Deer Valley ski resort and the surrounding area, but you can be even more amazed by examining the mountains from above. There are many choices available to you if you want to get a bird's eye view of the breathtaking Deer Valley area. Whether you just want a leisurely run or an exciting powdery descent by ski; you can have a grand the air above Deer Valley.
A beautiful, leisurely way to take in the sights is in a hot air balloon. Morning Star Balloons and Park City Balloon Adventures are both local companies that offer balloon tours. You will need to be an early bird to take part in this activity. Hot air balloon flights leave early in the morning when there is few winds and you get to take in the amazing sunrise.
Another way to look at the scenery from above is given by Park City Helitours. For a fair cost, you may book a seat on a tour by helicoptor to examine this part of Utah from above. You might fly over Sundance, Mount Timpanogos, the 2002 olympic Venuse, and Bridal Veil Falls. Charter flights are given but they are much more expensive than the tour options.
A person who wants an adventure may want to try the heli-skiing option. This is somewhat expensive but within reason for a person who is searching for that perfect, untouched snow. Two close companies, Wasatch Powderbird Guides and Park City Powder Cats & Heli-Ski, Inc. offer heli-skiing . If you choose to pony up the money, you can plan on a full-day of skiing with professionals. Most full skiing days are filled with six to seven runs and perhaps around 15,000 vertical ft. covered. Heli-skiing guests do not need to be extreme skiers, but they do need to have solid skiing skills and reasonable physical stamina. Contact the outfitter you choose for exact requirements and so you can also book a spot.
Viewing this beautiful area from the sky would be an experience you will never forget. Whether you like the peace of sunrise by hot air balloon or the exhilaration of a 2,000 vertical foot descent, it is sure to be amazing. Just think of the memories you can make high in the mountain sky!
