Why you should go…

Deer Valley Resort is a ski-only mountain in Park City, one of three American resorts that do not allow snowboards. It opened in 1981 and hosted the freestyle moguls, aerials and alpine slalom events of the 2002 Winter Olympics. Lifts rise from base areas including Snow Park, Silver Lake and Empire Canyon, with a gondola from the Jordanelle side. In summer the mountain switches to hiking and mountain biking.

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
