Best Ski Resorts Near Heber City & Deer Valley

Welcome to Ski Country

There’s no better place to experience Utah’s legendary snow than from our home base in Heber Valley. Located at 1260 Stillwater Drive, our rental puts you within minutes of the best skiing in Utah — from world-class luxury resorts to family-friendly mountain escapes.

 Deer Valley East Village (Mayflower Mountain Base / Backside Entrance)

Just 2 Minutes Away

You truly can’t beat the convenience — we’re only a two-minute drive to the brand-new Mayflower base area of Deer Valley Resort.

  • Skiers-only resort (no snowboards allowed)

  • Known for groomed perfection, upscale amenities, and short lift lines

  • Brand-new Mayflower Resort — now connected to Deer Valley for massive terrain and luxury skiing.

  • Perfect for intermediate and advanced skiers seeking world-class terrain without crowds

Start your day on the Heber backside, far from the bustle of Park City’s main base, and enjoy effortless access to pristine slopes.


Sundance Mountain Resort

40 Minute drive

Tucked beneath the dramatic cliffs of Mount Timpanogos, Sundance offers a soulful, family-friendly mountain experience.

Our kids’ favorite ski school — small class sizes, patient instructors, and open learning areas

  • Ideal for beginners and big groups with something for everyone but small enough to meet for lunch. 

  • Currently undergoing a major resort revamp, with new lifts, updated base areas, and expanded amenities rolling out this year and next

Sundance blends rustic charm and creative energy — the perfect mix of Utah heritage and modern comfort.


Snowbasin Resort

1 Hour 15 Minute drive

A longer drive, but always worth the trip. Snowbasin is a hidden gem known for big vertical, luxurious lodges, and unbeatable views.

It’s our family’s go-to for a full-day ski adventure —uncrowded, unforgettable, and full of character.

  • Famous for the John Paul Express — a must-ride for adventurous skiers

  • Olympic-level runs balanced with wide, family-friendly groomers

  • Stunning panoramic views and lodge dining that feels more like fine dining than cafeteria fare


 Park City Mountain & Canyons Village

25 Minute drive

Utah’s largest resort and where our kids first learned to ski, Park City Mountain connects two massive ski areas — Park City and Canyons Village.

  • Town Lift offers direct access from Main Street for easy après-ski

  • Great for groups who want variety: terrain parks, wide runs, and endless groomers

  • Just 25 minutes from our home — ideal for spontaneous ski days

Make it a day exploring both mountains and ski into town for lunch. The options are endless.
