Introducing Deer Valley Cat Skiing
DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (Jan. 17, 2025) – As Deer Valley’s Expanded Excellence transformation forges ahead, a new cat skiing adventure gives avid skiers premier access to explore the resort’s new untouched terrain. Starting in February 2025, conditions permitting, this one-of-a-kind experience combines world-class skiing with Deer Valley’s signature culinary and guest service excellence.
“Deer Valley Cat Skiing will provide a sneak peek into Deer Valley’s next chapter, and we invite our loyal guests to witness it firsthand,” said Deer Valley President & COO Todd Bennett. “Our talented culinary teams, ski hosts and guest services staff will be there at every turn, ensuring this unique snowcat skiing experience is seamless and unforgettable."
Two Ways to Experience Deer Valley Cat Skiing
Guests have the option to reserve the entire snow cat operation for a private, personalized party or book individual spots on a shared tour. Both experiences invite guests to ski into a world of untouched snow, carve pristine corduroy and escape with friends and family in true alpine style. The private group option is available for $20,000 and accommodates up to 12 guests, offering the ultimate exclusive private experience. The per-seat option is available for $2,000 and is perfect for individuals or smaller groups looking to share a joined tour.
Adventure Awaits
The day begins at 8 a.m. in the 2002 Room at Deer Valley’s Snow Park Lodge, where breakfast by Deer Valley Etc. awaits. After breakfast, the group heads to the Silver Lake Express lift to ski a quick warm-up run on Bald Mountain. Then, the adventure truly begins when the group ascends to the top of Bald Mountain and skis off the backside into Park Peak Meadow. At the bottom of this run, a Deer Valley snowcat awaits to transport guests to an untouched haven of exclusive skiing. With a second snowcat stationed at the bottom of each run, skiers enjoy seamless transitions back to the summit for more exhilarating descents. The snowcats are equipped with stocked coolers, offering guests snacks and refreshments to keep them energized throughout the day.
As the day winds down around 2 p.m., a Deer Valley Mountain Host guides the group back to Silver Lake Base Area. Guests who have reserved the private snowcat tour will enjoy a well-deserved sit-down lunch at the renowned Royal Street Café. Private parties end the day with a stop at the guest services desk back down at Snow Park Lodge, where a special-edition Deer Valley gift awaits to commemorate the experience. Guests who have booked individually will wrap up their snowcat skiing adventure at 1:30 p.m. and are welcome to continue their day on the mountain using their included lift ticket.
