Deer Valley is a great place to take people who like the idea of going on a ski trip, but don't really like to ski. You will be pampered, for sure. However, don't expect great skiing. Management has expanded the terrain, but it's still limited. The layout is choppy, with short vertical segments. The trails are overgroomed to suit the non-serious skiiers. Consequently, they get surprisingly hard (even icy) between snowfalls. Don't look for big dumps here. The Park City area gets what's left over after the storms dump their loads in Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons, so snowfall is 30-40% lower. All in all, I'd much rather be in Alta, or Snowbird, or Brighton.
