Fall/Winter Lodging Packages

Filed under: Erin Grady,Lodging — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , — Erin Grady @ 12:49 pm

Now that the leaves are changing color and we know that snow if just around the corner I hope everyone is thinking winter.  One of my favorite things to look forward to on those blistery days if I am not on the slopes is having a glass of wine in front of the fire.  I had the pleasure of staying at one of our properties this summer called The Lodges with my family.  Since then I keep thinking how I should book us a room during the winter so we can either hit the slopes or cozy in to one of their beautiful units.

Weather you are thinking of coming out on a girl’s weekend, all the boys or with the family, Deer Valley has some great lodging deals.  They are so good that I am encouraging all of my friends to come out and they don’t have to stay at my house.  So I am encouraging anyone looking to come out this winter to check out the specials.  I have listed them below but you can always check out our website!

With the hustle and bustle of the holiday season starting to wrap up I am looking forward to the year a head.  January is going to be another busy month at the resort with the Freestyle World Cup, Freestyle Olympic Team Announcement and Sundance all taking place.

The aerial competition will take place on Friday, January 15 under the lights on Deer Valley’s White Owl ski run, beginning at 8 p.m. The second mogul competition will take place Saturday night under the lights on Champion and will also begin at 8 p.m. As always, Deer Valley will host fireworks after its evening events on Friday and Saturday.

Deer Valley, site of the 2002 freestyle and alpine Olympic venues, will host the announcement and send members off to Vancouver, Canada in “Deer Valley style” to represent the United States and bring home Olympic hardware. While freestyle athletes have been steadily working on qualifying for the 2010 Olympics, the selection period will close Sunday, January 24 and the official members are to be announced with several on-site for the official presentation, as well as greet and sign autographs for Deer Valley guests.

Off Hill Update

Filed under: Dining,Erin Grady,Events,Lodging — Tags: , , , , , — Erin Grady @ 9:33 am

I hate to admit it but I still have not been out on the slopes.  With the cold temperatures (that were great for snowmaking) that mother nature brought our way last week I decided to take everyone else’s word that the skiing was good. But we have finally been blessed with a good storm so now I am itching to get out!

 Since, I have been hiding in the lodge I have had the opportunity to take advantage of our award wining dining. I have hit the natural buffet at Snow Park for lunch and love that they now offer grilled chicken as an option for your salad.  I also love the roasted veggie and mozzarella plate but nothing beats the Deer Valley Turkey Chili; a Deer Valley staple. I have to have the famous Turkey Chili a couple times a year.  I also got the privilege to check out The Mariposa menu.  If you have not been to The Mariposa I would HIGHLY recommend it.  There is so much to love on that menu I don’t even know where to begin.  The new crab casa appetizer and caprese salad are decedent.  My personal favorite is the sea scallops for the entrée but if you are not into seafood the bison is unbelievable…I think that I dream about them at night!

 Now that I am full from just thinking about all of the food, I don’t want to forget to mention some great events coming up.  On December 24, Santa will be at the Snow Park Lodge getting the little one’s last minute gift requests (so don’t forget to be good)!  On December 30 at 6 p.m. on the plaza at Snow Park you can watch our annual Torch Light Parade.  We will be passing out complimentary cookies and hot chocolate for guests.

 Those of you who are interested in coming out during Sundance, we have extended our EVP package through the beginning of February.  The EVP package saves up to 25% on your lodging and lift tickets. For more information check out our website deervalley.com.  If you have not been out during Sundance, it is always a great time to ski as most guests are in town to attend films.  Then at night you can check out a movie or just try to catch a glimpse of a celebrity on Main Street.

 Wish me luck on getting some turns in this week!

Snowmaking efforts on November 23, 2009

Snowmaking efforts on November 23, 2009

The snow has been falling since mid-October and ski season has finally arrived.  Deer Valley Resort was honored to be voted the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI Magazine for a third year in a row!  We are very excited to begin the season with this announcement.

Deer Valley Resort started their own lodging division, Deer Valley Resort Lodging and Reservations this past summer.  Since the Resort announced the new division in the late spring we now manage seven properties including; Trails End, Black Diamond Lodge, The Lodges at Deer Valley, Stag Lodge, Flagstaff, Shooting Star and Deer Valley Club.  Along with those properties Deer Valley also manages over 150 individual units and private homes in the Deer Valley area, allowing one-stop planning for every aspect of your vacation.

To kick off the season, we are keeping with tradition and hosting the JUMA Celebrity Ski Classic on Birdseye run both Saturday and Sunday, December 5 and 6, 2009.  It is free to the public so we hope to see everyone up here trying to catch a glimpse of a celebrity or former Olympian! 

Join us opening day for a martini to toast our founder Edgar B. Stern at the new Edgar’s Beer and Spirits (EBS) Lounge in the Snow Park Lodge. At 2 p.m. will be hosting a ribbon cutting and lifting our glasses to honor our founder Edgar B. Stern who sadly passed away last year.  The Lounge is a great place to check out Deer Valley’s history and see how Edgar made his way to the “greatest snow on earth”.

Something you don’t want to miss is the 2-for-1 at The Mariposa!  Our 2-for-1 Tasting Menu special goes through December 17.  You will want to make your reservations early!  The number is 800-424-3337 or go online http://www.deervalley.com/dining_shopping/mariposa.html
