What you may not know is that Utah is actually a fantastic place for your next ski vacation. There are many different resorts in Utah that specialize in skiing and in order to find the perfect Utah ski resort, you need to know exactly what you are looking for!

You will need to consider which resort you want to ski or ride, and where you are going to stay in town. There are many different options from slope side to rental properties in the heart of residential neighborhoods. Making sure there is a lot to do around your hotel or condo is important, especially if you are interested in easy access to bars and restaurants.

One of the most popular ski resorts in North America is Deer Valley Resort located in Park City Utah. Deer Valley Resort receives its top resort ranking because of the variety of terrain, quality of runs and on-mountain services, as well as on-mountain dining options. The town of Park City also offers a wealth of off-mountain activities, shopping, restaurants, and bars all within a short shuttle ride from your Deer Valley accommodations.

The nightlife in Park City Utah is certainly popular, especially during the Sundance Film Festival, but that is not all this quaint ski town has to offer. There are also a wealth of high quality restaurants and boutique shopping options available for any budget. You should definitely visit some of the local shops that can help you find the perfect gift to for yourself or loved ones back home.

One of the greatest things about picking out a ski resort is that you can do it yourself. You do not have to rely on any travel agents as long as you have the internet, you should be able to find everything that you are looking for with just a little bit of research.

Research is also going to be important when you are looking for the perfect place to stay or on great restaurant for a family dinner. Never settle for the first price that you are given on lodging, especially if you are bringing in a group of people - you can usually get lodging operators down to the price that you want with just a little bit of negotiation.

So make sure you include Utah in your travel plans the next time you are contemplating a ski vacation. Deer Valley Resort in Park City, Utah is a top ski vacation destination that should definitely be experienced at least once. You never know, you may just want to return in the summer as well!
