Deer Valley Ski Resort

Deer Valley ski resort is one of North America’s most refined mountain destinations. A ski-only resort built on exceptional service, immaculate grooming, and an upscale mountain experience. Located in the Wasatch Mountain Range, just 36 miles (58km) from Salt Lake City, Deer Valley sits alongside Park City Mountain, making it straightforward to combine both resorts for an extended ski holiday.

For Winter 2025/26, Deer Valley doubled in size, adding almost 100 new slopes and 11 new lifts and bringing total skiable terrain to over 5,726 acres. The resort remains ski-only, and that commitment to the skier experience runs through everything: complimentary ski valets, perfectly groomed runs, free mountain hosts, and the opportunity to ski with a world-class athlete through the Ski with a Champion programme.

After a day on the slopes, our experts particularly recommend Stein Eriksen Lodge for a memorable stay at the heart of the resort. Our ski experts are here to help you find the perfect Deer Valley ski package. Contact our team or browse our latest ski deals to start your Deer Valley skiing adventure.
