Family ski vacations are all about tuning out the noise from our overbooked, technology-infused lives and checking back in with what matters most. It often seems so simple, but it can be increasingly hard to do.

Turning on the out-of-office message on your work email and social media notifications, or simply placing your phone on airplane mode are all options to ensure a peaceful vacation. These little steps can help you achieve quality time with the people you cherish the most. Even if you can’t take all those steps to slow down technology, Deer Valley Resort experiences and good times may eventually make you believe as if you did.

Oftentimes it only takes a lift ride, watching your kids play in the snow, or carving down a quiet trail to help unwind from the day-to-day routine. Quality time can come in the form of a delicious dinner with a loved one while sipping a glass of wine, or a soak in the hot tub after a day on the slopes. A simple cookie and a mug of hot cocoa can also do the trick. At Deer Valley®, the opportunities to check-in with what really matters are endless. Just take one deep breath of mountain air, and the rest will all fall into place.
