Ski Information for Deer Valley

Skiing in Deer Valley began in the 1930s, with the Park City Winter Carnivals, and gained increasingly popular when the Works Progress Administration built the first ski trails along with other facilities in 1936. The first ski lifts appeared in 1946, in the area that was called Snow Park Ski Area at the time. In 1981, Edgar Stern founded the Deer Valley Resort in the same area, which today includes six mountains, Little Baldy Peak (7,950ft), Bald Eagle Mountain (8,400ft), Bald Mountain (9,400ft), Flagstaff Mountain (9,100ft), Empire (9,570ft), and Lady Morgan (9,000ft), with 670 acres of snowmaking and 930 acres of glade skiing totaling a massive 2,026 acres.

A Resort of Firsts

The Deer Valley Ski Resort is one of the first to offer ski valets to their guests to carry ski gear from their cars to the slopes and the first to refer to their customers as ‘guests,’ similar to hotels. The Deer Valley Ski Resort also has a state licensed child-care facility on site and much more. In the 2002 Winter Olympics, the resort was venue site for the freestyle moguls, alpine and aerial slalom events. It also hosts various other competitions for the International Ski Federation on a regular basis.
