Deer Valley is known for its groomers and they were great but I was surprised to see tons of off-piste terrain open.

Moguls, chopped-up powder, and a bit of tree skiing.

One whole section of the mountain was completely ungroomed and off-piste only (Flagstaff Mountain – Red Cloud and Silver Lake chairs).

I just got my PRP injection in my bad knee yesterday so I was taking it easy today as that’s what my doctor ordered.

The truth is that I wasn’t supposed to ski at all but I felt like sticking to the groomers was taking it easy enough 😉

The groomers were splendid and there was almost no one out.

I spent most of my day on the Wasatch chair with a few laps on the Carpenter Express.

Shout out to David & Ryan at the Wasatch chair for being super cool 🙂

Deer Valley skis like a dream.

Thanks, Utah!
