This resort has a reputation for tasty food, friendly service, great slope grooming and prime mountain bike trails.. In Short
The 2002 Olympics posted here for the slalom and freestyle mogul and aerial events. Deer Valley offers a secluded mountain setting, a ski season of 120 days and it's only 36 miles from the Salt Lake International Airport. Deer Valley is built for speed. Many of the runs encourage 40 mph GS turns for an entire mile. Neighboring aspen groves and the steeps of Mayflower Bowl invite expeditions on the frequent powder days.

Great!. What makes Deer Valley great is that they realize how much of a hassle snowboarders are! They're always in your way to redo their bindings after a chair lift and they're always cutting you off and taking you jumps! Also, Deer Valley is well known for their dining and the ski-in lodges are excellent. I love this resort!

Rocks!. Best Run of the mountian is Big Stick and Stein's Way if you get there early enough. The hills are so good, you might just run into someone famous there.
