Since its inception in 1981, Deer Valley Resort set its sights past chairlifts and ski runs. Their impetus was first-class service. They were the first resort to offer ski valets and free parking lot shuttles, coupled with well-groomed slopes and mountain lodges that cater to every need. Deer Valley® refers to customers as guests, as one would at any five-star hotel.

Deer Valley’s commitment to excellence and customer service is front and center, and to this day with even more ski resorts to choose from, the Deer Valley Difference is what sets this resort apart from the rest.

The complimentary Mountain Host tours provide first-timers a cheat sheet to finding the goods (while known for grooming, a powder day at Deer Valley is often an empty powder haven, aside from locals who know its hidden gems). The resort’s capped lift ticket policy also ensures you won’t be too crowded on the ski runs or unable to find a seat at lunchtime. And once your day on the slopes is complete, check your skis into the complimentary ski storage, receive assistance from the curbside valet, and enjoy luxurious accommodations where guests can partake of the complimentary Cadillac shuttle service to visit Park City’s Historic Main Street.

The Deer Valley Difference boils down to this: every detail is accounted for, so guests don’t have to sweat the small stuff and can simply relax and enjoy.
