Deer Valley at a Glance
Deer Valley is one of Utah’s best-known ski resorts, best known as a ski-only mountain, and has a refined yet relaxed atmosphere. Its varied terrain caters well to skiers of all abilities, and large, recent expansion has further increased the range of runs and terrain available, guaranteeing that there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Deer Valley is always a popular destination for families, couples, and groups who want a comfortable ski trip without too much hassle. Accommodation ranges from luxury hotels to private homes and ski-in/ski-out residences, and the resort lies less than an hour from Salt Lake City.
About Deer Valley
Part of Deer Valley’s appeal is how easy the resort feels once you are there. The main base areas, including Snow Park and Silver Lake, are well connected, so it is simple to move between different parts of the mountain, stop for lunch, or meet up with others in your group during the day.
The overall atmosphere is refined without being showy. Typically, days revolve around skiing, good food, and relaxed evenings. Deer Valley is also only a short drive from Park City , where guests can enjoy a wider choice of restaurants, shops, and a little more buzz after the lifts close.

The heartbeat of Deer Valley
Snow Park
Snow Park is Deer Valley’s main base area and often the first part of the resort guests arrive into. It is a practical and convenient place to be, with easy access to lifts, ski school and equipment rentals, as well as a broad range of accommodation types.
As the resort’s front door, it is a great location for guests who want straightforward access to the mountain and a simple start to each ski day.
Silver Lake
Silver Lake is Deer Valley’s mid-mountain hub, set higher up the resort with a more tucked-away feel than Snow Park. It is a convenient base for skiers who want to step straight into the heart of the mountain, with lifts, restaurants and accommodation all close together.
The area works especially well for guests who like being near the slopes during the day, with easy places to pause for lunch or meet up before heading back out.
Perfect for skiers of all abilities

Empire Pass
Empire Pass sits higher up the mountain and feels a little more tucked away than other parts of Deer Valley.
It is a good fit for guests who want ski-in/ski-out access to the slopes, plenty of space, and a quieter base to come back to at the end of the day. There are still lifts and places to eat nearby, but with a more private and residential feel to it.

Deer Valley vs Park City
Whilst Deer Valley and Park City are seemingly one and the same, there are crucial differences between the two areas. Despite their proximity to each other, each boasts its own unique atmosphere, accommodations and amenities. Deer Valley’s privacy and seclusion is the most notable difference to the hustle and bustle of Park City and its Main Street. For skiers, Deer Valley offers a more relaxed, beginner-friendly environment, with Park City providing a more varied, advanced level of terrain.
Things to do in Deer Valley
Of course skiing is the main event at Deer Valley during the Winter, however there are a number of additional activities available during the season, including snowmobiling, ice skating, dog sledding and snowshoeing. In summer, guests can spend time horse riding, fly fishing, rafting, golfing, while the Utah Olympic Park is a fantastic, nearby attraction.

Cozy and spacious!
Photos and reviews don’t do this rental justice. Cozy and spacious at the same time. Everything seems new and it’s well appointed. Cooking? The kitchen has almost everything you’d have at home. Weber Grill on the patio. SOFT ROBES in the master. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this condo.
