Ski In, Zen Out

Stone massage

At Stein Collection, the rhythm of winter moves between two worlds: the exhilarating rush of fresh tracks down Deer Valley’s legendary slopes and the tranquil embrace of a world-class spa at day’s end. It’s this balance, of motion and stillness, energy and calm, that defines the art of alpine living.

From the moment guests click into their skis at first light to the instant they sink into a heated massage bed as snow drifts past the window, Stein Collection invites them to experience the mountain from every angle: as a playground, a sanctuary, and a pure state of mind.

Here, skiing and serenity are not opposites. They are complements, each heightening the other, each reminding guests that the best days in the mountains are as restorative as they are thrilling.

 

The Mountain, the Myth, the Moment

 

For more than forty years, Stein Eriksen Lodge has been the heartbeat of Deer Valley, a place where the thrill of the mountain meets the grace of five-star hospitality. Named after Olympic champion and ski legend Stein Eriksen, the Lodge embodies his signature balance of elegance and athleticism.

Stein believed that skiing was as much about joy and flow as it was about competition. That same philosophy lives here. We want every guest to feel that sense of movement and ease, on the mountain and off.

Just steps from the slopes, the Lodge offers proper ski-in/ski-out access to some of the finest terrain in North America. Deer Valley’s perfectly groomed runs, renowned service, and uncrowded lifts make it the ideal environment for both seasoned skiers and first-timers. Mornings begin with the crisp sound of snow underfoot and the scent of pine in the air; by midday, skiers gather for lunch at the Troll Hallen Lounge, swapping stories over housemade soups and signature cocktails.

But for every moment of adrenaline, there’s an equal measure of calm waiting nearby. At the end of a long powder day, the Lodge’s Forbes Five-Star Spa becomes the natural next chapter, a place to restore balance, ease sore muscles, and settle into the serenity of the alpine setting.

 

The Spa at Stein Eriksen Lodge: A Sanctuary in Motion

 

Stein’s spa is a study in warmth and renewal. Soft lighting, natural stone, and the scent of essential oils create an atmosphere that feels like an extension of the mountain itself, grounding, restorative, and deeply calming.

Signature treatments draw from both nature and science: the High Altitude Relief Massage targets ski-weary muscles with arnica and mountain botanicals; the Hydration Replenish Facial soothes winter-stressed skin with oxygen-rich serums. The hydrotherapy circuit, complete with sauna, steam room, and whirlpool, offers a soothing contrast to the day’s chill.

Couples often end their ski day here, trading their helmets for robes and adrenaline for quiet conversation. There’s a simple rhythm to it all: the morning’s crisp energy giving way to the evening’s deep exhale.

The goal is to let guests move seamlessly from exhilaration to restoration. That’s the essence of mountain wellness, the understanding that peak performance and total relaxation belong to the same story.

 

The Chateaux Deer Valley: Alpine Ease and Everyday Indulgence

 

Just across the way, The Chateaux Deer Valley offers its own interpretation of balance. This Forbes Four-Star retreat is renowned for its gracious hospitality and refined yet approachable atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for guests seeking both adventure and relaxation in the mountains.

Days here start with a hearty breakfast and a short stroll to the slopes. After an afternoon of carving turns or exploring Park City’s charming Main Street, guests return to a world of warmth: fires crackling in stone hearths, plush robes waiting in their suites, and spa treatments designed to melt away the day’s effort.

The Chateaux’s Le Spa focuses on gentle rejuvenation and personalized care. Therapists tailor each treatment to the guest’s activity level and needs, offering a custom deep-tissue massage for skiers, a soothing aromatherapy wrap for those adjusting to altitude, or a restorative facial that helps restore moisture to winter-damaged skin.

The effect is cumulative; the more one gives to the mountain, the more the spa gives back. It’s a perfect loop of motion and stillness, one that defines the rhythm of a Deer Valley day.

Evenings conclude in The Chateaux Lounge, where guests can unwind with a glass of wine and share stories from the slopes. The laughter, the glow of the fire, and the sense of deep contentment all underscore what the Stein Collection does best: turn the high energy of a ski day into an effortless, elegant unwind.

 

Stein Eriksen Residences: Modern Wellness with a View

 

If Stein Eriksen Lodge and The Chateaux reflect the timeless side of mountain hospitality, Stein Eriksen Residences embodies its modern evolution. Tucked into a secluded slope between Silver Lake and Old Town, the Residences blend cutting-edge design with panoramic views, a haven for travelers who want space, privacy, and a seamless connection to the mountain.

The wellness experience here feels deeply personal. Guests can ski directly to the property’s private locker lounge, then transition to the Silver Aspen Spa, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the snowy landscape like living art. Treatments combine advanced techniques with mindful rituals, hot stone therapies, guided stretching, and even oxygen facials, all designed for high-altitude recovery.

The spa’s heated outdoor infinity pool offers one of Deer Valley’s most serene vantage points. As twilight settles and the slopes fall quiet, guests float in warm water beneath a canopy of stars, the perfect counterpoint to the day’s physicality.

Dining continues the theme of balance. At 7880 Club, Chef-driven dishes showcase seasonal ingredients in ways that are both indulgent and nourishing: roasted root vegetables with tahini and citrus, elk tenderloin with huckleberry glaze, or a warm quinoa salad brightened by herbs and olive oil. It’s cuisine that energizes as much as it delights.

For guests staying in private residences, the sense of calm extends to every detail, radiant-heat floors, soaking tubs with mountain views, and fireplaces that invite quiet reflection after a long day on the slopes.

 

A Philosophy of Flow

 

Across each Stein Collection property, one guiding principle endures: the belief that well-being is found in movement, connection, and care. Whether guests are carving turns through morning powder or surrendering to stillness in a spa sanctuary, both experiences speak to the same truth — that balance is the ultimate luxury.

It’s a philosophy inspired by Stein Eriksen himself. The Norwegian Olympian was known for his effortless grace on the slopes, but also for his poise and generosity off them. He saw beauty not only in athletic mastery but in the art of slowing down, sharing a meal, or simply taking in the mountain view.

Today, that spirit lives on in every massage room, ski locker, and fireside lounge throughout the Collection. Guests are invited not just to visit the mountains, but to live them, to embrace the full spectrum of what they offer: vitality, tranquility, and everything in between.

 

Ski In, Zen Out

 

In the end, that’s what makes a stay at Stein Collection so transformative. It’s not merely a day of skiing followed by a trip to the spa; it’s a choreography of experiences that honor both body and mind. The exhilaration of a perfect run. The stillness of a steam room after dusk. The laughter over dinner, the silence of snowfall outside.

Here, the adrenaline and the calm aren’t competing forces; they’re partners in the same dance. The mountain teaches movement; the spa teaches stillness. Together, they create a rhythm that stays with you long after you’ve left the slopes behind.

At Stein Collection, you don’t have to choose between adventure and peace. You simply ski in and zen out.
