Deer Valley's four mountains
All levels of skiers are catered to, but boarding is not allowed. Deer Valley’s 1,750-acre (708-ha) ski area, offering 91 trails, is spread over four mountains: Bald Mountain (9,400 feet/2,865 m), Flagstaff Mountain (9,100 feet/2,774 m), Empire Canyon (9,570 feet/2,916 m) and Bald Eagle Mountain (8,400 feet/2,560 m). Approximately half the trails at Deer Valley are blues and double blues, suitable for intermediate skiers, 15 percent green for beginners, 25 percent for advanced and 10 percent for experts.

Beginners are able to ski each of the four mountains, while intermediate skiers can cruise to their heart’s delight on Deer Valley’s many famed, groomed trails. Advanced and expert skiers will find themselves skiing uncrowded black and double black diamond trails, and eight chutes, three bowls and extensive gladed areas covering 800 acres (324 ha).
