A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
As others have said, this resort is great for beginners and intermediates and relaxed advanced skiers. Note: only skiers, no snowboards allowed. The newly added terrain makes the resort quite large and which offers variety and allows some runs to be less crowded. We didn't experience crowds/long lift lines except on the weekend. The resort has a few cat tracks but they are not flat/do not require a lot of pole work to get down.
Throughout the resort and adjacent Park City Main Street, many great restaurants are available. This resort caters to upscale tastes and apres is a more refined experience than some resorts (no dancing on tables here) but I didn't think it was overly stuffy (but I probably would care less for it when I was younger). It's a 40 min drive from SLC airport (easy to get Uber/Lyft).
Because of relatively low altitude and positioning, this resort may suffer from a short season or lack of fresh snowfall more than many (even close) ski resorts. However, I've been there twice when snowfall was scarce and their aggressive snowmaking/grooming really allowed nice conditions for much of the resort.
A friend and I participated in a women's ski camp and it was excellent! Highly recommended.

Dynamic pricing is an eye opener. It's expensive. Beers are 18.00 Lift Tickets are 382.00 on a Tuesday. Dynamic pricing changes daily so plan ahead and buy online way before skiing. We stayed in walking distance and there wasn't much snow. They make snow at night so there was plenty and most of the runs were open. It's now a HUGE PARK and getting LARGER by the month. It's massive around 200 lifts I believe. Green Monster is a Green and you gotta go! Make sure you download an app so you know where you are, it's really HUGE place!
Deer Valley isn't for those looking to save or be frugal. The kids working here work on tips, so TIP! Restaurants are fantastic, I don't even know where we ate and drank but absolutely epic. I will say go to the Stein and experience thee high end in the business.
This isn't a place for Expert folk looking for moguls and cliffs. It's a Blues and Greens and a place you can mill around for hours. There are some Diamonds but it's not Snowbird or Alta. There are NO BOARDS here and that was nice. High end and a very Blooomingdales experience.
If you have a chance to experience the absolute top, go to Deer Valley.

One of my favorite ski resorts in the U.S., it is only skiers, there is great food, the staff is outstanding, there is so much terrain to explore, and the snow is soft, making the resort friendly to all different ages and ski levels. What more could you ask for?

Great resort - well run operations - grooming and lifts
Brody Smith
There should be more challenging terrain, and sometimes even after it’s just snowed, it’s icy.

Gosh this entire resort is gorgeous, very long green and blue runs that weave around the upper village. Amazing dining options with grand log cabin resorts. It is definitely a five star resort with a price tag to match. Worth the splurge

Go! Fantastic ski resort!
Ronald Belensky
See the pros and cons. Make the trip and spend a little more to ski instead of wait in lift lines.
Lang Rosen
This is incredible and huge, place with great skiing and good snow. The food and lodges are great, and it is a pretty luxury kind of resort. The RIFD is nice, the empoyees are great and it is a amazing ski resort. It works for full family, with ok expert terrain and great intermediate and beginner terrain.
