Deer Valley is heaven for ski connoisseurs. This No. 1 rated ski resort (Ski Magazine readers’ poll) is a posh, semi-private ski paradise where the service is as sublime as the snow. Snowboarders are banned, and lift ticket sales are limited (so buy your Deer Valley tix in advance). The resort has a reputation for first-class service and 2,026 acres of perfect slopes.
