Deer Valley Ski Resort is a must go to for the entire family! They have everything you need there and it's so beautiful, well run and classy. The dining is five star along with everyting else! Perfect place to spend a weekend! Park City is a great town and full of fun things to see and do! They have many options for kids that are very fun too, workshops, ski lessons, etc.
If you are looking for a family friendly high end ski resort this place is for you. No snowboarders allowed!! This means safer for skiing without worrying about being taken out by boarders. (sorry if I offend) Their runs are beautifully groomed, their staff is friendly and helpful, it isn't super crowded and the carrot cake in the lodge is TO DIE FOR. Sometimes I just want to go skiing just for the carrot cake. It is quite pricey but totally worth it!
Deer Valley is the most beautiful place we have ever skiied! There are mountain ski runs for all levels of skiiers. The ski rental shop has great equipment, and everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. The restaurants are excellent. This is a great place for families. We stayed at The Lodges at Deer Valley.
