To quote SkiUtah.com's blog "Utah's first big snowstorm rolled in just before Thanksgiving and dumped as much as 70 inches of snow on Utah's ski resorts. A great Thanksgiving powder feast was had by all." Several resorts scrambled to open earlier than planned thanks to Mother Nature's bounty, and with Deer Valley® Resort opening this weekend, the season is off to a phenomenal start. Most of the local resort improvement capital has been invested in snowmaking and improved circulation and app features.

Deer Valley has added RFID technology this season, which will enable the resort to use the best available technology to increase and upgrade the guest experience throughout the resort, including direct-to-lift access. Also new this year is limited availability to Club1981, a private, amenity rich club experience at Deer Valley. 

Park City is a "three resort" town once again with the addition of Woodward Park City, which opens December 14 - please see our feature in this newsletter. The tubing hills have returned, and this year-round, high-energy adventure center also brings night skiing and riding back into the equation. The facility boasts two dining options and a full bar, adding much needed options to that part of town. Additionally, the free bus route has been extended to Woodward and Summit Park, so older kids can get there independently. 

Please remember to make your dining reservations early this holiday season. Our restaurants fill up quickly. 
 
Happy Holidays! See you on the slopes, in the shops, and out dining!
