Deer Valley - 3/7/2026

[indiggio]

I’ve been totally slacking on reports as of late.  Son, his new wife and friends were out to ski Park City the week before last, then Blue bumper Rick was out with his family right after.  Skied Park City twice with son & friends, then Solitude and Snowbasin with Rick and family.

With the recent snowstorm this week and all the snow the canyons got, decided to avoid those shit-shows and use up one of the Deer Valley tickets on the IKON and get the wife a little more snow time.

Arrived at the mountain about 7:20 and got front row parking as the wallets don’t get up early.  Temps were in the upper 20’s and bluebird skies.  Roaming up to the snow, there were lots of kids in bump pants and IDOne skis.  Looking across the beginner area, they indeed had a comp bump run set up.

Even with the recent storm, this side of the Wasatch is still hurting for snow as many of the lower runs were still closed with hardly any snow on them, but it didn’t stop a couple from getting married up there.

Left the wife to her devices on the greens and I wanted to make my way out to check out the new expansion,   Unfortunately even some of those runs were closed due to lack of snow.  I do get to see the new lodge being built.

Made my way back up and down the lifts to meet back up with the wife.  Headed back to watch some of the teens in the bump comp.  Pretty impressive kids coming down a WC level bump run and throwing flips and corks off the jumps.

Headed out to the lot for some beers and check out the cowgirls coming out of the St. Regis.
