 Located in the Wasatch Mountains just 35 miles from the Salt Lake International Airport, Deer Valley is highly revered among ski vacationers for its groomed mountain terrain, plush lodging and reputable restaurants. The town of Park City (where Deer Valley is located) has a rich frontier history and culture dating back to the days when it was a mining town. Today, Park City’s Main Street is full of charming restaurants, specialty shops, art galleries, and historic sites, making nearby Deer Valley that much more of an enriching vacation destination.
During the winter, visitors will no doubt want to try their hand at the excellent downhill skiing, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, bob sledding, luge, ski jumping, ice skating, snowshoeing, snow tubing, sleigh rides and more that make Deer Valley one of the top winter resorts in the country. Take note, however, that Deer Valley does not permit snowboarding at the mountain resort. Summer activities include mountain biking, golf, horseback riding, concerts, hot air balloon rides, tennis, fly-fishing, boating, windsurfing, hiking, and roller-blading.
The Deer Valley Resort is comprised of four mountain peaks. With an elevation of 8,400 feet, Bald Eagle Mountain offers great 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 also accessible via Little Stick or Navigator ski runs or by catching the Jordanelle Express Gondola, located at the Mayflower/Deer Crest entrance on Hwy 40. Bald Eagle Mountain will also serve as the venue for Deer Valley's 2002 Olympic Games events—Champion, site of the freestyle mogul competition; Know You Don't, site of the slalom events; and White Owl, site of the freestyle aerial events.
With an elevation of 9,400 feet, Bald Mountain offers intermediate and challenging skiing along with great views. Strong skiers in search of steeper, ungroomed trails and Utah's famous light powder will be rewarded on numerous runs in the Sultan and Mayflower areas.
With an elevation of 9,100 feet, Flagstaff Mountain offers intermediate and beginner ski trails, in addition to extensive gladed areas and access to Ontario Bowl. And peaking at 9,570 feet, Empire Canyon offers skiing for all abilities with our family ski area, intermediate terrain and some of the most advanced skiing at Deer Valley, including eight chutes and three bowls.
