PARK CITY: BEYOND SUNDANCE - SKIING AT DEER VALLEY RESORT

From the cinematic screens to the slopes

By John Esther

Park City, Utah, is not only home to America’s most important film festival ten days out of the year, it also boasts some of the best skiing throughout winter, anywhere in the United States or beyond.

Located 35 miles southwest of Salt Lake City, Park City offers an array of places to ski. If you are a skier, not a snowboarder, then we recommend Deer Valley Resort.

Operating for 27 years Deer Valley Resort is located a little outside of Park City. A quick and free bus ride away will get you to the super slopes that hosted the Olympic Winter Games in slalom, aerial and mogul events in 1992.

There are six mountains: Little Baldy Peak, Bald Eagle, Bald Mountain, Flagstaff, Empire Canyon and new Lady Morgan offering a variety of skiing terrain, allowing skiers ample opportunity to play in our annual 300 inches of light, dry Utah powder. The slopes are easier to manuever than the ones around Salt Lake City. A black run at Deer Valley Resort is equivalent to a blue run at Snowbird or Alta.

If you need help with clothes, kids or tickets, onsite child care, lift ticket, lessons and rental packages are available.

Which is all great if you are a skiier; one of the few remaining of its kind left in the United States, Deer Valley prohibits snowboarders.

After the snow has melted Deer Valley offers mountain biking, hiking, scenic chairlift rides, outdoor dining, Deer Valley Resort offers mountain bike rentals, instruction and guided biking and hiking tours.
