4-Time Olympian Ashley Caldwell Joins Deer Valley's Ski with a Champion Roster
DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (Nov 7, 2024) – Deer Valley invites guests to ski with one of seven Olympic Snowsport athletes this winter, including the newest addition, Freestyle Aerialist Ashley Caldwell. All athletes are available to ski with individuals, families, and groups for exclusive half- and full-day memorable adventures at the resort.
“We know visitors this season will enjoy the rare opportunity to ski with Olympian and pioneer of the sport, Ashley Caldwell,” said Deer Valley Vice President of Marketing, Susie English. “Each athlete of our Ski with a Champion program brings their unique talent and perspective to Deer Valley’s slopes, and we encourage guests to reserve their experience today.”
Ashley Caldwell is a 4-time Olympian and Olympic Gold medalist in the sport of Freestyle Aerial skiing. Originally from Virginia and now living in Park City, Utah, Ashley quickly rose to prominence as a fearless and talented aerialist, competing in her first Olympics at 16 years old, after only competing two years. Ashley made history by becoming the first woman ever to successfully land the quadruple-twisting, triple-flipping jump, called the "Daddy," earning her a world record for the hardest acrobatic trick ever done by a woman. She won the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Mixed Team Aerials with her two teammates, Justin Schoenefeld and Chris Lillis, and is now one of the most decorated American Aerialists of all time. She loves skiing with all ages and abilities around the whole mountain, from powder tree glades to freshly groomed corduroy. Off the slopes, Ashley is recognized for her dedication to promoting gender equality in sports and beyond. She has two Master's degrees from the University of Utah in Real Estate and Law and now works in real estate private equity.
The Ski with a Champion experience is available to participants at least 7 years of age; children 12 and under are required to be accompanied by an adult. The maximum group size is six people. Lift tickets are not included, and some skiing experience is required.
