Deer Valley Ski Resort — Our ESCAPESEEKER team prides ourselves on being at the right place at the right time. And, frankly, this could not be any more accurate than these last few days as we witnessed the most magnificent pre-Christmas snowfall Deer Valley Resort has received in decades! Two weeks into the season and Deer Valley ski pros admit it feels like an entire year’s worth. (http://blog.deervalley.com/2010/12)
Deer Valley is in the midst of a storm system that has brought more than 3 feet and there is still more to come! This is not only tremendous news for Deer Valley Resort which has been rated the #1 ski resort in North America an unprecedented four years in a row (2008-2011) by the readers of SKI Magazine—but for the guests of MONTAGE DEER VALLEY as well, who took a leap of faith that Mother Nature would assist the luxury brand’s opening weeks to deliver the great resort experience they’ve come to expect from MONTAGE! And assist, she is! Everyone’s skiing this unbelievable powder—not just the pros—but novices like yours truly are also getting into the action.
Deer Valley revolutionized the ski industry by being the first North American resort to provide the service of a five-star hotel. To fully enjoy ‘The Greatest Snow on Earth™ (Utah’s claim and slogan—and frankly, after just one day of skiing, you’ll be a believer too!) Deer Valley offers luxurious guest amenities including three on-mountain day lodges, six mountains with the widest range of expertise levels and terrain and groomed-to-perfection manicured slopes for the finest gladed runs that can be experienced: http://www.deervalley.com/activities_skiing/skiing.html.
COMPASS SPORTS…AT YOUR SERVICE
Montage Deer Valley, with its own 7,000 sq. ft. Compass Sports shop and complimentary ski valet service, is located directly adjacent to three of the Resort’s high-speed chairlifts for the ultimate ski-in/ski-out experience. If you’ve ever wanted to learn to ski, it just doesn’t get any easier than this. The Compass Sports shop has everything you need (and I mean EVERYTHING), and Compass’ expert team is at your service to ensure that your day skiing the majestic ski runs of the #1 ski resort in North America is an experience you’ll crave to repeat over and over again!
That’s exactly how I’m feeling at this very moment, knowing that the forecast for Deer Valley is more – snow. Mother Nature just keeps on giving and giving. Well, it is Christmas after all…and as she gives, our ESCAPESEEKER team is oh so happy to receive! Don’t take my word for it. Check out these priceless images of our group’s recent ski day, captured by Compass’ talented photographer, Weston Hall. Weston is AMAZING! He is all about capturing the moment…and racing downhill, sideways or backwards is just no big deal for this expert skier! He and our Director of Photography, Jackson Myers, (also an absolute pro at shooting while on skis) are going to make quite the team when we return to repeat and capture this experience on film! For those equipped with the expert skills, unwavering courage and gusto—this will include Heli-skiing “the greatest snow on earth”—I cannot wait to see how the experts do this, can you?
For now, all I can express is gratitude to Mother Nature for her flawless timing , the incredible MONTAGE DEER VALLEY resort team, and for Andy’s team at COMPASS SPORTS who afforded us a SKI experience most people only dream of…and to those dreamers I say, CARPE DIEM! SEIZE THE DAY…You too, can live your dream!
