"After nearly 20 winters here, it’s like watching a little sprout grow into a tree. And we get front-row seats every day."
– Deer Valley gondola worker, Condé Nast Traveler
Deer Valley touts meticulously maintained runs for skiers only. Its famous mountain operations team lays out grade-A corduroy and zen-like trails that appeal to both coast-happy beginners and upper-level intermediate skiers. The snowcats, however, leave a handful of double-black-diamond chutes untouched for the experts.
Deer Valley Resort is a ski-only resort. Snowboarders can ride at Park City Mountain Resort, three miles from Deer Valley's base.
Deer Valley Resort does not require parking reservations. Still, parking lots fill quickly during peak holidays and weekends, so parking early, carpooling or using the Park City Transit System (free!) is advised. Snow Park Lodge and Deer Valley East Village offer free parking and complimentary shuttle service. Carpools of three or more get priority parking in Lot 2 at Snow Park. The Jordanelle base area, off U.S. 40, is Deer Valley's premium paid lot, first come, first served, and free for Deer Valley Unlimited and Midweek season pass holders as well as carpools of three or more. Everyone else pays via QR code, at lower rates on weekdays. When the main lots reach capacity, guests are directed to the Richardson Flat Park & Ride, where free express buses run every 15 minutes to Snow Park Lodge. Download the Deer Valley app to view the live parking lot tracker, or sign up for the resort's text alerts for parking, weather and snow updates. Very limited parking exists at Deer Valley's mid-mountain Silver Lake Lodge. Note: Empire Canyon Lodge does not offer parking
Complimentary and premium options are available across several base areas. Parking is first-come, first-served at locations like Snow Park Lodge and Jordanelle, with real-time status updates found in the Ikon Pass app. If primary lots fill up during peak times, Richardson Flat offers overflow parking. Parking lots fill quickly during peak holidays and weekends, so we recommend parking early, carpooling, or using the Park City Transit System (free!).
Restaurants and Places to Relax
Deer Valley Resort offers relaxation and on-mountain eats (don't miss Deer Valley's famous turkey chili) at their three main day lodges — Snow Park Lodge, Empire Canyon Lodge and Silver Lake Lodge — and mountain-top lodge, Cushing's Cabin. Other Deer Valley restaurant options include luxury resorts and lodges dotting the mountainside with ski-in, ski-out access.
The Brass Tag
Open nightly for dinner service, The Brass Tag in the Lodges at Deer Valley serves up Italian favorites including ravioli, gnocchi and brick-oven pizza.
St. Regis Deer Valley
Head to St. Regis for al fresco lunch on the heated outdoor Mountain Terrace, surf-and-turf at the rustic RIME, light bites and handcrafted cocktails at the St. Regis Bar, or French comfort food at Brasserie 7452.
Goldener Hirsch
An Auberge Resort, Goldener Hirsch recently expanded upon its Bavarian-inspired dining and lodging options. The Goldener Hirsch Restaurant serves up savory Alpine-influenced Osguthorpe Farms Lamb Loin and Raclette-Bacon Burger, while the Goldener Hirsch Café & Veranda and Antler Lounge dish up gourmet sandwiches, salads and Bavarian pretzels for a mid-mountain snack or a midday meal.
Glitretind Restaurant
Much like the lodge’s Norwegian namesake, Stein Eriksen Lodge epitomizes slopeside elegance. Inside, the Glitretind restaurant serves award-winning dishes made from fresh, local and sustainable ingredients. For a lively après or a light lunch, head to nearby Troll Hallen.
Montage Deer Valley
Located atop Empire Pass, the Montage Deer Valley boasts many gourmet options, whether you crave eggs benedict, grab-n-go coffee, burgers and fries, fine dining or handcrafted brick-oven pizzas.
The Après Lounge
Located in Empire Village directly behind The Montage Deer Valley, The Après Lounge is the perfect yurt to snuggle up in after a day on the slopes. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., you can enjoy caviar, local cheese charcuterie boards, and smoked fish, to name a few. This swanky yurt pairs perfectly with champagne, thanks to Veuve Clicquot sponsorship. So click off your ski boots, cozy up by the fire and get fancy at this opulent après yurt. You must be 21 or older to enter. (Read: Winter Yurt Dining)

Run Highlights
-
Daly Chute #10
Daly Chutes offer great steep and deep chutes that never disappoint. From the Empire Express, ski down Orion and then cut into Anchor Trees. A short, easy hike is required after passing Daly Bowl. After signs for Chutes #5, 6 and 7, a gentle slope takes you to a crater-looking cornice. Jump in or enter from the side. The chute is wide open up top, but narrows in the midsection and finally opens into a gentler slope dotted with trees.
-
Supreme
This trail allows intermediate skiers a great way to see the Empire section of this luxury resort, which is otherwise mostly advanced and advanced-intermediate runs. Take the Empire Express to the top of the mountain at 9,570 feet and hit Supreme. You’ll cross under the lift at mid-run and ultimately end up where you started — at the Empire Express lift.
