PARK City or Deer Valley
I will be going to Park City in a week and would like advice on what resort is
the best for me and my wife. I will obviously have to ski each area to get familiar with the resort, but would like some preliminary information. I like the following: 1. I am an intermediate that likes to cruise with quad chairlifts so I can make lots of runs 2. Long runs without mogles-my knees are not in the best of shape. 3. Groomed slopes - don't like powder unless its a necessity from new snow. 4. I hear Deer Valley has crowd restrictions so the lines don't get long-is that true. I will be skiing mostly on the weekdays. 5. If anyone is familiar with Mammoth and June Mtn in Calif, I like June Mtn better because it offers more of what I like-especially no long lines. Thanks for any advice on the above, Rick |

We prefer deer valley as no snowboarders allowed. Slopes groomed
well. Was there over Christmas and no long lines. Take the free intermediate meet the mountain tour offered every morning and afternoon. Park City does have some longer top to bottom runs, but can get plenty of skiing in at Deer Valley. |

PARK City or Deer Valley
Hi everyone,
Don't really post much anymore, but I have very fond memories of DV pre 2000 - the service there is stunning, and really makes a skiing holiday what you would expect. I patroled here in AUS for 10 years, and hate queues - never had a problem @ DV - other UT resorts... hmm... Enjoy your holiday - it's 38C here tomorrow & I am incredibly envious!

I'll say Deer Valley. Best grooming in the area. Sometimes, there are
side-by-side runs marked blue or black, the difference being one is groomed and the other is left to bump up. So, it's got some nice steeps for those of us whose knees can't take the bumps. The liftlines aren't bad, either. Can't beat the customer service, either. It's nice to be pampered once in awhile. And, the pastries in the Snow Park Lodge are to die for (a friend of mine is a pastry chef there). Be aware that the town is kind of messy right now. We had a boatload of snow the last 2 weeks, with supposedly more to come. Leave your nice shoes at home unless they have good tread - the sidewalks get rather slippery. Also, the Sundance Film Festival starts up on January 15. It gets CROWDED and CRAZY in town from then until January 25. So, if this is inside your time frame, be prepared! |
