Deer Valley Ski Resort is rated #1 in North America!!! It has topped all other mountain resorts in North America in the 2007 SKI Magazine’s Reader’s Poll
Deer Valley has revolutionized the ski industry since 1981 by creating the kind of attentive service, gourmet food and luxury accommodations one would experience at a fine hotel. Deer Valley has repeatedly been rated the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI magazine, and proudly hosted the 2002 Olympic Winter Games slalom, aerial and mogul events. Knowledgeable skiers know that Deer Valley is unsurpassed for grooming and snow conditions, food, service, and all-around comfort and pampering. Now with the expansions into Empire Canyon and Deer Crest in recent years, Deer Valley is also a very LARGE resort with an enormous variety of terrain options for all abililty levels. A Park City condo is great base of operations for checking out the different mountains, or you can look at our luxurious and affordable lodging options at Deer Valley Resort.
New This season! Deer Valley Resort recently opened over 200 acres of new terrain in the Empire Canyon area, including nine ski runs and 65 beautiful gladed acres, served by the new Lady Morgan Express chairlift (high-speed detachable quad). This expands the already fabulous Empire Canyon terrain to make for one of the best skiing playgrounds around! Along with all the terrain skied from the 9,000' summit of the Lady Morgan Express, skiers coming off the Empire Canyon Express at 9,570' now have some wonderful options skiing over to the Lady Morgan Express lift for a longer more varied run. For example, from the top of Empire Canyon Express, in addition to all the blue and green trail options, advanced skiers can blast through the powder of Lady Morgan Bowl (black diamond), then take upper Magnet (black diamond), and then veer left into the awesome gladed areas of Centennial (double-black diamond) to end up at the base of Lady Morgan Express. Access this new lift via the Empire Canyon Lodge or the bottom of Northside Express chairlift.
