Spring Skiing at Deer Valley: Experience the Best of the Season with Stein Collection

For guests staying with the Stein Collection, including Stein Eriksen Lodge, Chateaux Deer Valley, and Stein Eriksen Residences, spring skiing offers a uniquely relaxed and enjoyable way to experience the mountain and the charm of Park City.

Bluebird Ski Days and Ideal Spring Conditions

By the time March arrives, Deer Valley has built a substantial snow base across its expansive terrain. Winter storms still bring occasional fresh powder, while sunnier days create the ideal conditions for classic spring skiing.

Mornings typically begin with crisp, freshly groomed corduroy—perfect for carving smooth turns down Deer Valley’s famously immaculately maintained trails. As the day progresses, the snow softens slightly under the warmth of the sun, creating the forgiving “corn snow” that many skiers consider the most enjoyable surface of the season.

Another advantage of spring skiing is the atmosphere. While winter holidays can bring peak-season energy to the slopes, late March often delivers a slightly more relaxed pace. Deer Valley’s limited daily lift ticket sales help maintain an exceptional on-mountain experience, allowing skiers to explore wide-open runs and scenic chairlift rides at their own pace.

Exceptional Terrain for Every Skier

With more than 4,000 acres of skiable terrain and over 200 runs, Deer Valley offers an extraordinary variety of trails for skiers of all abilities. The resort is particularly known for its expansive intermediate terrain, making it a favorite for those who love long, flowing runs and perfectly groomed conditions.

Spring can be an especially great time for families and groups with mixed abilities. The softer afternoon snow makes learning new techniques or building confidence on steeper terrain more comfortable, while ski school programs continue throughout the season.

Guests of Stein Collection properties also enjoy convenient access to the mountain, making it easy to maximize time on the slopes, whether it’s catching first chair in the morning or heading out for a relaxed afternoon session under sunny skies.

Après-Ski, Elevated

Spring skiing isn’t just about the snow; it’s also about the moments that follow a day on the mountain.

As the sun begins to set behind the Wasatch peaks, the energy shifts from the slopes to patios, lounges, and gathering spaces throughout Deer Valley. Après ski in spring carries a celebratory feel, with skiers lingering outside longer, enjoying mountain views, and sharing stories from the day’s runs.

At Stein Eriksen Lodge, guests can unwind with a drink on the terrace, relax by a fire, or indulge in a restorative treatment at the spa. At The Chateaux Deer Valley and Stein Eriksen Residences, returning from the slopes might mean soaking in a hot tub, enjoying a fireside gathering with family, or settling in for an evening of mountain-inspired dining.

These relaxed moments are part of what makes spring skiing so memorable.

Discovering Park City in Spring

Beyond the slopes, spring is also a wonderful time to explore Park City's charm.

Just minutes from Deer Valley, Historic Main Street offers a vibrant mix of boutiques, galleries, and restaurants housed in beautifully preserved historic buildings. After a day of skiing, guests can stroll along the lively street, browse local shops, or settle in for dinner at one of the town’s many acclaimed restaurants.

Spring sunshine also opens the door to other outdoor experiences. Snowshoeing, scenic winter walks, and simply enjoying the mountain views from a café patio all become part of the Park City experience this time of year.

The combination of outdoor adventure and mountain-town culture makes it easy to fill each day with something new.

A Season Worth Discovering

There’s something special about visiting Deer Valley in late March. The mountains remain beautifully snow-covered, but the warmth of the sun and longer days create an atmosphere that feels both invigorating and relaxed.

For guests of the Stein Collection, spring offers the perfect opportunity to experience Deer Valley at its most enjoyable. Ski exceptional terrain in the morning, linger over a leisurely lunch in the sunshine, and spend the evening exploring the welcoming energy of Park City.

It’s a time of year that brings together the very best of winter and spring—creating mountain memories that last long after the season ends.
