Create Happy Memories of Deer Valley by Air

By: Blake Provo


You can not dispute the beauty of the scenery at the Deer Valley skiing resort and the close area, but you can be even more bewildered by examining the mountains from the air. There are tons of choices that you can have if you want to get a bird�s eye view of the wonderful area of Deer Valley. If you only want a leisurely run or an exciting descent by ski; you can have a amazing experience in the sky above Deer Valley.

A beautiful, leisurely option to see the sights is in a hot air balloon. Park City Balloon Adventures and Morning Star Balloons are local businesses that give hot air balloon tours. You need to wake up early to experience this wonderful way of flying. Hot air balloon flights leave early in the day when calm winds prevail and you can enjoy the beauty of sunrise.

Another form of scenic air tour is operated by Park City Helitours. For a reasonable cost, you could book a seat on a tour by helicoptor to examine this part of Utah from above. You might fly over Sundance, Mount Timpanogos, the 2002 olympic Venuse, and Bridal Veil Falls. Charter flights are given but much more costly than the tour options.

For the adventurous, powder-seeking skier in the group, an exciting possibility is a heli-skiing trip. This is more or less an expensive ride but within reason for a person who is searching for that perfect, untouched snow. Two close businesses, Park City Powder Cats & Heli-Ski, Inc. and Wasatch Powderbird Guides, offer heli-skiing . If you decide to pony up the cash, you can get a day full of skiing with professionals. Most full skiing days are filled with six to seven runs and perhaps around 15,000 vertical ft. covered. Heli-skiing guests do not need to be extreme skiers, but they do need to have solid skiing skills and reasonable physical stamina. Contact the outfitter you decide to go with for exact requirements and so you can also book a spot.

Viewing this amazing area from above can be an experience you will never forget. Whether you enjoy the quietness of sunrise by hot air balloon or the exciting 2,000 foot descent, you are positively and absolutely going to enjoy your day of beauty. Just think of the vacation memories you can make in the high, mountain sky!
