A CELEBRATION OF THE LIFE OF DEER VALLEY FOUNDER EDGAR B. STERN JR. ON OPENING DAY, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6TH

DEER VALLEY RESORT, PARK CITY, UTAH (December 1, 2008) – With natural snow already on Deer Valley’s peaks, temperatures dropping this week and plenty of snowmaking going on, Deer Valley Resort’s 2008/2009 winter season will commence this Saturday, December 6th. The Resort will kick off the season by celebrating the life of its founder, Edgar B. Stern Jr., who passed away in October at the age of 86.

The ceremony, “A Celebration of the Life of Edgar Stern,” is open to the public and will take place at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, December 6th on the Snow Park Lodge (base area lodge) Plaza. Speakers will include Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley Resort president and general manager, Gil Williams, president of Deer Valley’s parent company, Royal Street Corporation, and Dr. Robert Winn (Winnie), a longtime Deer Valley supporter and friend. A ski run near Perseverance Bowl will be named in Edgar Stern’s honor, photos and video of Edgar will be displayed throughout Snow Park Lodge, and guests will be invited to sign a guestbook, located in the Snow Park Lobby, for the Stern family. Dixieland Jazz will be performed by the Park City High School Jazz Allstars from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. on the Snow Park Plaza.

The Snow Park Lounge will be re-dedicated and re-named this winter in honor of the Resort founder. The “Edgartini” will be the featured cocktail in the lounge that afternoon/evening, made Edgar’s favorite way – with Beefeater gin, straight up, extra dry, with a twist. From 3 to 6 p.m., featured entertainment in the Lounge will be the Salt Lake City Saints, also performing Dixieland Jazz. At 4:15 p.m., the Deer Valley synchronized ski team will perform on the lower mountain, best viewed from the upper deck of Snow Park Lodge.

DEER VALLEY RESORT OFFERS NEW SERIES OF GUIDED HIKES

DEER VALLEY RESORT, PARK CITY, UTAH (July 17, 2008) – Deer Valley Resort, Mountain Trails Foundation and the Park City Recreation Advisory Board announced today that they will offer a new series of guided historic hikes this summer. The free tours will be offered on four Sundays, July 20, August 17, September 14 and 21.

Co-organizer Mike O’Malley says of the upcoming tours, “These hikes are designed to be 50 percent exercise, 50 percent learning and 100 percent fun. Hike organizers will highlight some of the area’s mining history along the way, and participants are encouraged to share their own knowledge of local history, too. Locals and visitors alike will learn some new things about our natural and social history, and everyone will enjoy our great scenery.”

Reservations are not necessary to participate in the hikes. Hikers should simply meet tour guides at the Sterling chairlift (mid-mountain at Deer Valley) at 9:30 a.m. on the appointed four Sundays. The hikes are scheduled to last three to four hours and will cover moderately
strenuous terrain at Deer Valley Resort. Hike participants should be in good shape, wear sturdy footwear, carry plenty of water and snacks, and wear proper sun protection.

The primary route for Deer Valley’s hikes will start at Sterling chairlift, wind through the woods to the New York mine, then continue up to the ridge between Bald Mountain and Flagstaff peak for a dramatic view of the Wasatch Mountains. The return route will lead the group through high-mountain meadows and aspen and evergreen groves. Round trip distance for the hikes will be less than six miles, with an elevation gain of approximately 900 feet. In case of bad weather, an alternate route along the Mid-Mountain Trail will lead the groups from the Sterling chairlift to some mining sites near Empire Lodge and back.

Deer Valley’s guided hike details will be available at the offices of Mountain Trails Foundation, the Park City Historical Society, Summit Land Conservancy or online at deervalley.com.

For more information on Deer Valley Resort or the new guided hikes, please contact Resort Communications Manager Erin Grady at 800-424-DEER (3337), (435) 645-6522 or view the Resort website at deervalley.com.
