PARK CITY, Utah – Deer Valley Resort is set to open Dec. 8, and a lot of preparations are going into making it perfect.
KSL TV’s adventure specialists Trace Worthington and Sean Smith trekked to the resort to see what’s in store for skiers when the slopes open.
The pair chatted with Director of Mountain Operations Steve Graff about Deer Valley’s newest addition.
“We’re super excited about the Homestake Express,” he said about the resort’s newest lift. “It’s a new, high-speed quad for us. At 100 percent, it’s going to be about a 2-minute lift ride.”
The lift can run more than 2,000 people in an hour.
The skiing and snowboarding aren’t the only attractions at Deer Valley Resort, though; the lodging and dining is award-winning.
Trace and Sean stepped inside Deer Valley’s Goldener Hirsch Inn to find out more about what it had to offer.
“We were in Austria for the sixth annual World Ski Awards, which is great because this is an Austrian-inspired lodge,” said Senior Communications Manager Emily Summers. “… For the third time in six years, (Goldener Hirsch) won U.S. Best Boutique Hotel in the World Ski Awards.”
It was voted on by 24 countries and more than a million people across the globe.
