At Home on the Range
The Best Kid-friendly Travel Destinations in the Mountain States
By Elisa Ast All
Deer Valley Resort has everything you need to make vacation planning easy. An entire division – Skier Services – is available to help you arrange lift tickets, ski lessons, rentals and child care. Most of the information will be conveniently prepared before your arrival, giving you more time to spend with your family on the slopes. Is this your family's first time skiing? Don't worry! Exceptional ski lessons – either private or group – are available for all ages and ski levels.
If your legs need a break from skiing, head over to Gorgoza Park for an afternoon of tubing and riding mini-snowmobiles. Goroza Park has three lifts to carry you up the hill to either beginner or advanced lanes. Lighted facilities allow your family to continue the fun well into the evening. For additional sight-seeing, visit Utah Olympic Park where you can view exhibits from the 2002 Olympic Games, take guided tours or challenge your family to a bobsled ride.
Deer Valley has two new chairlifts, two new intermediate ski runs and updates to Snow Park Lodge. A short, easy drive from Salt Lake City's airport, you and your family will enjoy the excellent skiing, friendly service and convenience found at Deer Valley Resort in Utah.
