Summer Ski Resort Spotlight - Deer Valley Resort

By Mike Doyle, About.com

Summer hiking on 15 miles of Deer Valley trails

Deer Valley Resort

Deer Valley Ski Resort was rated the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI magazine in 2001, 2005, and 2008, and is also consistently ranked #1 in dining and guest service. You will find this tradition of fine dining and first class service does not stop when the snow stops falling.

Mountain Biking

There is nothing more exhilarating than riding a mountain bike on some of the same trails you ski on and you don't have to be a double black bike rider to enjoy the fun.

At Deer Valley lift-served mountain biking is open daily during the summer, conditions permitting. Experience the thrill of mountain biking on over 55 miles of panoramic trails. Bikers are whisked up the mountain on the Silver Lake Express chairlift from Snow Park Lodge, or the Sterling Express chairlift, located mid-mountain.

Both Silver Lake Express and the Sterling Express operate daily. Signed liability releases are required; if under 18, a release must be signed by a parent or guardian. Helmets are required for all bikers and Deer Valley's Mountain Bike Rental Shop and Mountain Bike School operate daily and offer scheduled clinics and tours for all abilities.

Scenic Chairlift Rides and the Royal Street Cafe

Enjoy great views of the Wasatch and Uinta Mountains from a padded chairlift ride at Deer Valley Resort. Once at the top, you can walk down one of our many hiking trails or hike the 1/4-mile Scenic Overlook trail overlooking the Jordanelle Reservoir.

The Royal Street Café, located mid-mountain in Deer Valley's Silver Lake Lodge, offers a casual grill atmosphere with award-winning cuisine and scenic deck dining. The Café is open daily through Labor Day.

Deer Valley Summer Adventure Camp

For children ages one to 12 years, Summer Adventure Camp offers activities such as hiking, field trips, arts and crafts, environmental awareness, and nature discovery. Daily, weekly, and seasonal rates are available.

Deer Mountain Summer Events

Remember, Deer Valley's event schedule and ticket prices are subject to changes and addition without notice so check the web site regularly.
