If you're one of those people unable to let go of winter (and yes, they do exist), the St. Regis Deer Valley is offering guests the opportunity to ski with Olympic medalist Shannon Bahrke.
For five years in a row, Deer Valley Resort has been named the number one North American resort by SKI Magazine, while Forbes Traveler named Park City one of the twenty prettiest towns in the United States. With only eight thousand year-round locals, Park City attracts nearly four million tourists and more than half of them are skiers.
Nestled in the Wasatch Mountains of Deer Valley, the St. Regis Deer Valley in Park City, Utah was completed in December 2009 at a cost of $320 million. One of the largest projects to be completed in the state of Utah after the economic scares of 2008, the opening of the St. Regis Deer Valley was heralded as a harbinger of good times ahead.
In 1904, John Jacob Astor IV, son of the visionary Lady Astor, opened the St. Regis in New York. With the help of his mother’s acumen and superior taste, Astor strove to create an establishment that would enable his Gilded Age cohorts to feel as comfortable at the St. Regis as they would in their own palatial residences.
Spanning twelve acres along the fabled Deer Hollow run, the St. Regis Deer Valley is a slope-side, bespoke resort with 177 guest rooms, including 67 one-bedroom suites that can be combined with single rooms to form multiple-bedroom, en suite residences.
More than half of the St. Regis Deer Valley resort is given over to the public spaces. A soaring double-height lobby showcases a two-sided stone fireplace. There’s also a library with complimentary beverage service throughout the day and evening, including wine and Champagne. An expansive outdoor terrace sports an all-season, infinity-edge swimming pool.
With reservations of five or more nights through April 15, 2013, guests can reserve a half day of skiing with Bahrke, the two-time Winter Olympics medalist who won the silver medal on the famed runs of Deer Valley Resort in 2002.
A Utah resident, Bahrke is known for her pink hair and spunky attitude. Bahrke will offer skiers her guide to skiing, including her tips on form and speed, as well as taking on powder and moguls. A colorful resource, Bahrke will also offer her own research on eating and drinking in Deer Valley and environs - and how best to saber Champagne.
As for the skiing, Deer Valley Resort has been voted number one for a reason. The St. Regis Deer Valley's world-class amenities include North America’s only funicular at a ski resort, as well as signature butler and ski valet service. Everything related to skiing at the St. Regis Deer Valley is about service.
The St. Regis Deer Valley works to insure that a guest's energy is reserved for the slopes and the exhilaration that comes from skiing with an Olympic champion.
