Deer Valley Resort Continues Sponsorship of US Ski Team Mogulist Nate Roberts

DEER VALLEY, PARK CITY, UTAH (November 1, 2007) –Deer Valley Resort, which has become known as one of the world’s best freestyle competition venues, is proud to announce its continued sponsorship of one of the world’s best freestyle athletes, U.S. Ski Team member and World Champion mogulist Nate Roberts.

“We’ve been sponsoring Nate since 2005 and are thrilled to announce our continued relationship,” says Coleen Reardon, Deer Valley’s director of marketing. “Nate is not only a great athlete, but also a great person. He grew up in Park City and is a living example of hard work and excellence, both attributes that Deer Valley admires.”

“Nate has grown up with Deer Valley in his back yard,” says Roberts’ agent, Michael Spencer. “Being a freestyle skier, and watching Deer Valley grow with freestyle and truly embrace it has been wonderful. In Deer Valley, Nate has a world-class facility to train on anytime he’s home during the winter. Deer Valley was just rated the #1 ski resort in North America by the readers of SKI magazine for the third time. Nate is also a ‘number one,’ being the first American ever to win a World Championships Gold Medal in 2005. Last year, Nate placed first at Deer Valley’s World Cup event, and he’ll again be competing in this winter’s Deer Valley World Cup.”

As part of his sponsorship agreement, Roberts will display Deer Valley’s name on his helmet and ski at Deer Valley Resort whenever he’s home in Park City.  Look for Nate competing on Deer Valley’s famed 2002 Olympic Winter Games Champion run during its FIS World Cup, February 1-2, 2008. 

Deer Valley also proudly sponsors the Deer Valley Freestyle Team, a junior development team for young moguls skiers.
