Riding the ski lift, Deer Valley, Utah
Deer Valley guests, locals and visitors alike, anticipate with excitement the Resort’s annual holiday events, which have become traditions for the entire Park City community.
To celebrate Christmas, Santa Claus himself will visit Deer Valley on Thursday, December 24, 2009. The jolly old elf will be found in the Snow Park Lodge area at the Resort base from 9 a.m. — 11 a.m., and from noon to 1:30 p.m., will visit guests in the Silver Lake (mid-mountain) area. Guests are invited to bring a camera and have their picture taken with Santa.
Another highlight of Deer Valley’s holiday season is the annual torchlight parade. The parade takes place Wednesday, December 30, 2009, at dusk (approximately 6 p.m.). The Resort’s renowned Ski School will dazzle with torches, synchronized skiing, and all sorts of “illuminating” moves.
The parade takes place on Big Stick ski run on Bald Eagle Mountain and is best viewed from the base of Wide West ski run and complimentary hot cider and cookies will be served on the Snow Park Plaza.
