PARK CITY, UTAH - (August 2, 2010) - Montage Deer Valley, opening December 2010 in the year-round community of Park City, Utah, promises to be one of North America's finest mountain resort destinations. With true ski-in, ski-out access to America's #1 ski resort (as rated by readers of SKI Magazine 2008-2010), this refined mountain craftsman resort features 154 deluxe guestrooms and more than 66 suites and private residences ranging from one to four bedrooms. The resort is also located in one of the country's most accessible mountain locations, just five minutes from Park City's celebrated Main Street and only 36 miles from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC). 

"We're finalizing every detail to open in December," said General Manager Marcus Jackson, who spent seven years at Montage Laguna Beach before moving his family to Park City 18 months ago to spearhead pre-opening efforts. "In keeping with the Montage Hotels & Resorts philosophy to design an artful collection of resorts and residences in the world's most sought-after destinations, we've drawn inspiration from this spectacular alpine setting to offer experiences that could only happen at Montage Deer Valley."

Myriad lifestyle pursuits

Every season ushers in a wealth of outdoor recreation, from downhill and cross-country skiing, sledding, snow shoeing, ice skating and horse-drawn sleigh rides to hiking, mountain biking, horse back riding, golf, fly-fishing, kayaking and river rafting. The resort will arrange a variety of unique experiences for guests and residents of all ages, including nature photography sessions with area experts, guided hikes and mountain bike treks, species spotting with a naturalist, fly fishing instruction, gourmet picnics and more.

Throughout the winter, Montage Mountain Hosts will receive, store and prepare all ski equipment, warm boots, and arrange lift tickets and lessons, including private lessons from Deer Valley Resort, to ensure a carefree experience. Just step into your boots, click and ski, heading out to one of three adjacent high speed lifts to access thousands of acres of terrain. Come spring, the Hosts will maintain mountain bikes and fly fishing gear and give you insiders' tips to make the most of your day.
