Ski-only luxury resort with groomed runs & upscale service
"A skiers-only mountain known for impeccably groomed trails, crowd-controlling lift ticket limits, and an overall focus on service; it’s among the most popular resorts in the country and is easily accessed from Park City." - Lydia Price Lydia Price Lydia Price is a senior engagement editor at Travel + Leisure, where she hosts short-form videos and leads content engagement initiatives.

"I can ski Deer Valley’s Expanded Excellence initiative, which more than doubles skiable terrain to 4,300 acres with nearly 100 new runs, 31 lifts, seven new chairlifts including the East Village Express gondola, and a continued East Village rollout featuring shops, restaurants, and hotels." - Arati Menon, Megan Spurrell
"Reserved for skiers only, this 2,000-acre gem is set to nearly double in size with 3,700 new acres and fresh lifts and trails coming as early as 2025; it’s also ideal for solo trips thanks to free, daily mountain host tours for intermediate and advanced skiers." - Elise Taylor, Chadner Navarro
"I can start the tour at Deer Valley, which serves as one of two possible launch points (the other is Snowbird) for a route that lets advanced and expert skiers visit six Utah resorts in a single day; both group and private tours are available, with private tours offering some room for customization." - Evie Carrick Evie Carrick Evie Carrick is a writer and editor who’s lived in five countries and visited well over 50. She now splits her time between Colorado and Paris, ensuring she doesn't have to live without skiing or L'As du Fallafel. Travel + Leisure Editorial Guidelines
"I recommend Deer Valley for dedicated skiers — it’s a ski‑only resort (snowboarding is prohibited) known for skiing, snowmobiling, dog sledding, and a long history of celebrity visitors during the Sundance Film Festival (which will be held there for the last time in Utah in 2026 from January 22 to February 1); the resort is expanding skiable terrain and chairlifts while launching a community concept called East Village, caps daily skier numbers to keep things uncrowded, and has a ski season that runs into April." - Matt Ortile
