Park City's size is a hot topic both in town and at the other ski resorts. There's talk that someday Utah's major ski areas could be linked by ski lift, not unlike Austria's Arlberg resorts. Look over the mountain for a reason to keep things as they are. If Park City is for millionaires, then Deer Valley is for billionaires. The number of lift tickets is limited and snowboarding is banned.
Deer Valley is a sedate hideaway of groomed, gentle slopes.
Its restaurants are reservations-only, and don't even bother setting foot in one unless you're ready to max out your credit card. People don't come here to ski as much as they do to be seen. I can't imagine sending Park City's riffraff over the hill to this Aspen wannabe. Not that Park City is cheap. It's just less expensive than Deer Valley.
