Deer Valley Resort in Utah is a premier destination for skiers and winter enthusiasts. Known for its top-tier service and impeccable facilities, it’s no surprise that Deer Valley has been consistently rated one of the best ski resorts in North America.


After a recent visit with my family, including our young daughters: Luana (4) and Amaya (3), here are the five things we absolutely loved about this resort.

1. Family-Friendly Atmosphere


Deer Valley is the perfect getaway for families, offering a welcoming atmosphere and activities designed for all ages and skill levels. The resort’s commitment to families starts with its ski terrain. Beginner and intermediate slopes are plentiful, allowing kids and adults alike to build confidence.


Luana and Amaya both had a blast exploring the beginner slopes, which were gentle and well-suited for young skiers just starting out.

2. Unforgettable Food


Located at the base of Deer Valley Resort you can find Snow Park Restaurant in Snow Park Lodge. It's the perfect spot to refuel after a day of skiing or enjoy a leisurely lunch.


3. Impressive Resort Experience


The resort limits daily lift ticket sales to prevent overcrowding, ensuring that guests can enjoy a seamless, uncrowded skiing experience. This commitment to quality over quantity makes Deer Valley feel exclusive yet accessible.


4. Incredibly Friendly Staff


The staff at Deer Valley truly made our stay unforgettable. From the lift operators who helped Luana and Amaya get on and off the chairlift to the restaurant servers who ensured the girls had everything they needed, every interaction was warm and thoughtful.


5. Top-Notch Ski School


Both Luana and Amaya took part in Deer Valley’s ski school, and it was an absolute game-changer for our family. The instructors were patient and encouraging, helping the girls tackle the beginner slopes with ease. Click here to see a video of Luana (4) doing a run called "Candy Land" right after ski school.


Final Thoughts


The combination of family-friendly activities, incredible food, luxurious accommodations, welcoming staff, and an exceptional ski school made Deer Valley a destination we can’t wait to visit again.
