Enjoy the expansive runs and limited passes sold at Deer Valley while staying in the intimacy and privacy of Sundance, UT. You get the best of both worlds while skiing Utah’s greatest snow on earth.
Drive down to Provo Canyon US-189 and turn left towards Heber for 15 miles. Turn left onto US-189/US-40 E/S Main St as you pull into Heber and continue 9 miles. Take exit 8 toward Deer Hollow Rd 0.4 miles and turn left onto Deer Hollow Rd 0.1 miles and then your first right to stay on Deer Hollow. Follow that and you are 1 mile away from the Jordanelle Express.
