Spread over six mountains and featuring up to 3,000 vertical feet of elevation change, Deer Valley Resort offers nearly 60 miles of mountain bike trails, including four flow trails designed by Gravity Logic. Our fun and thrilling mountain bike trails are accessed via three chairlifts. Silver Lake Express chairlift at the base of the resort, Sterling Express located mid-mountain, and Homestake Express also located mid-mountain, provide access to a wide variety of excellent trails. Several of Deer Valley Resort’s mountain bike trails connect with Park City’s extensive 400-mile network of single track.
To expand and seamlessly connect the resort’s Snow Park Base area with the Silver Lake Mid-Mountain trail system, Deer Valley will embark on a number of trail projects this summer. With the continued help of Gravity Logic, a new intermediate jump/flow trail and a new advanced/expert flow trail will be constructed on Bald Eagle Mountain, as well as the addition of a hiking only trail. Ripple, the newest green level flow trail will officially open from top to bottom this summer for a long, leisurely ride accessible to all levels.
With so much new terrain to explore, we have expanded the popular Twilight Ride Series to two nights. Now offering extended evening chairlift hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays this season. Private mountain bike lessons are available for $340 as well, if reserved in advance.
