this is deer valley ski resort this is definitely one of the most luxurious ski resorts in the
world they are known for impeccable grooming they are also known for luxurious service and
amenities but unfortunately one of the most expensive lift tickets in the world
something really unique about deer valley ski resort is they actually don't allow snowboarders
so that could be good or bad depending on if you're a skier or snowboarder not having
snowboarders does tend to keep the snow a little bit fresher with not as many deep
kind of scraped away areas as sometimes you see when resorts do allow snowboarders but if
your snowboarder nearby park city ski resort does allow snowboarders so you can go there
one of the unique things about deer valley is to get on the lift
you basically put your ticket in your pocket and then they have those very smart doors
that sense your ticket and then when it's valid it opens up for you kind of like a metro
it makes the lines go fast it's very convenient state of the art world class
one of my favorite things about deer valley resort are those chairs they're
kind of like beach chairs and especially on a bluebird day like today when it's sunny
it's so relaxing to just sit in it and soak the sun even though you're in the middle of snow
it feels very fancy being here i don't know what it is it's just kind of
it's a very customer service oriented ski resort that's for sure there's a lot of amenities they
make it so easy there's a lot of places you can go to grab a bite grab a drink even throughout
the whole mountain there are lodges and very fancy hotels and even houses like private homes
scattered throughout the mountain even towards the top so as you're skiing there's always buildings
and civilization around you which i think is kind of nice in my opinion because you don't feel that
you're secluded so much there's always this sense of safety you know some people may not like that
if you're like a big fan of nature and feeling that you're just kind of out of nowhere but here
you feel like you're still part of civilization even if you're at the very top of the mountain
so it's probably not the best ski resort for people who prefer more backcountry or off-piste
skiing but if you like on-piste skiing and nice groomed runs this is the perfect resort for you
one of the great features of deer valley is that parking is free so if you'd like to drive yourself
here you can do that park in one of the free parking lots which really aren't that far away
from the lodge anyway because of the overnight ski storage and also there's overnight boot storage
you don't even need to wear your ski equipment or hold your ski equipment when you're walking from
your car to the lodge when you get into the lodge there is a nice locker room where you can rent a
locker for the day so that's where you can keep your just your regular boots that you wore in and
you can change into your ski gear and then have a great day without having to worry about walking
back and forth in your ski boots to your car deer valley also offers complimentary overnight ski
storage so they'll actually take your skis and pulls and you can leave them overnight for free
you can also actually leave your boots here too but the boots are stored inside to keep them warm
after you've had a long day of skiing and you're a bit too tired to just walk back to
your car you can wait right here for the shuttle and the shuttle will pick you up
and it will bring you to one of the parking lots that's actually not that far to the right of me
one of the ways to get lift tickets for deer valley is to go on their website and order the
tickets then you'll receive an email from deer valley and the email will contain a barcode you
can either print the barcode out or just bring your phone and then you come behind me to the
ticket office and when the ticket attendants will scan your barcode and then they'll be able to give
you your lift ticket pass the lift attendants here really go out other way to help you
we found the lift attendants here to actually be very professional
they're very kind they're very talkative polite and very helpful as well
it feels so fancy being here we're like surrounded by very fancy hotels very expensive hotels like at
least a thousand dollar a night two thousand dollars a night and even more including this
hotel here you basically take a funicular to go up to your hotel it's called centris
yes please there's really great lodging options in and around deer valley we found that most of
the lodging options that are on mountain and there are quite a few options but most of them are quite
expensive which depending on your budget that might be fine but if you've got a slightly smaller
budget there's lots of other places within just a few miles of the resort we stayed at an Airbnb
which was a bit less expensive than the on mountain options but still just as nice
this is a sauna an actual sauna
near deer valley is the downtown of park city which is great it has this very famous main
street that's usually very lively day and night it's full of restaurants art galleries all kinds
of stores it's quite fun to walk around here day and night this is a statue of a minor and this is
to commemorate the history of park city way back in the day the first settlers to come here we're
mainly here to do mining especially for silver and this statue is just to keep that memory going
behind me is the Egyptian theater this is in main street park city so this is where they hold the
Sundance film festival every year the Sundance film festival is one of the most prestigious
film festivals in the world especially for short films who knows maybe one day as much
as i like filmmaking maybe I'll come here as a participant it doesn't hurt to dream
one of the cool places that you can check out if you're near deer valley is right
here this is the Utah Olympic park it's a very nice place actually this is where
some of the venues of the 2002 winter Olympics took place there are also plenty of things to
do here there's actually a cool museum if you're adventurous you can actually book a ticket to do
bobsledding and you'll get to ride in a bobsled and it goes up to 73 miles an
hour at Utah Olympic park home of the 2002 winter Olympics
this is the closest that I'll ever get to actually being in the Olympics
aren't these ski outfits just fabulous ski fashion has definitely changed over the years a lot
this is a very high ski jump i cannot imagine how intimidating it must be
for an athlete to be standing all the way up here
looking down and just going full speed down and then that's just crazy i cannot imagine
behind me is the buff sledding track looks very long and intimidating
for a 195 dollar person you can actually go and travel as fast as 73 miles an hour on a bobsled
that's pretty intense if you do decide to try bobsledding you can't just go by yourself you
do have to have an instructor with you so you have to make an appointment to do that
some athletes are practicing skeleton right now so it's been really fun to see them zoom by us
wow
that was fast
one of the unique things you can see in this area is this this is the homestead crater it's a very
unique place ten thousand years ago all the snow that melted from these mountains went down deep
into the earth about two miles deep and that made it heat up and it erupted into forming this crater
the water inside is very warm you can go in and you can swim in the warm water you can scuba
dive you can also snorkel it's a very unique hot spring and reserving your spot is very easy all
you have to do is go online reserve your spot and that way they keep a little bit of control
so it doesn't get too crowded in there it's such an awesome experience i love it very unique never
seen anything like this it's definitely one of the best things you can do in the area here
you look like you're enjoying yourself yeah i just need like a float i mean the
life jacket's good of course but like you know like a tube or i don't know something
i could easily fall asleep because it's just so warm
this is a very relaxing activity to do at the end of the ski day
now it's
moguls
it's all about eating the ground side slipping do whatever you can
there's no room to turn really normally like you you can on a normal run
of course the experts are like jumping through this
I'm such a beginner
I'm an expert
foreign
