Deer Valley Resort: Stein's Way leads pack of great runs at resort
Signature Run Stein's Way
This was one of the first runs cut when the resort opened in 1981 off Bald Mountain. It was named after the legendary Stein Eriksen, Olympic medalist and director of skiing at the resort. It is a run perfectly suited for his classy, giant-slalom-style turns.
It begins at the top of the Sultan Lift and winds down through some of the resort's most scenic areas. It alternates between steep pitches, rolling inclines and gentle platforms perfect for wide, sweeping turns.
The run drops 1,300 vertical feet and is 4,500 feet long. Most of the run is intermediate, except for one pitch with a 70-degree slope, which is a double black diamond. Intermediate skiers can bypass the steep, ski around and ski back on the run where it returns to intermediate terrain.
Because of its location and popularity, it is regularly groomed.
No. 1 Run Sidewinder
It was a difficult choice, to pick one run out of 99, but in the end Sidewinder won. It starts at the top of Flagstaff Mountain, which is accessed by four lifts.

Daly Bowl double black off Empire.
