Ted Ligety and Kaylin Richard ski Deer Valley's famous groomed runs .

While Utah is famous for its featherlight powder, Deer Valley is also known for its impeccably perfect grooming. Its Mountain Operations team has long held the belief that if it isn’t a bottomless powder day, you may as well be carving down the most velvety groomer you’ve skied in your life. This helps beginner and intermediate skiers too, who may not have the chops to float down a powder field but who are practicing their corduroy carving.

Deer Valley’s team deploys a crew of 50 people every night, who spend 17 consecutive hours over the course of two shifts to manicure the mountain’s groomed runs and prepare them for the next day of skiing. They knock out the most important beginner-friendly trails and access runs first, then settle into the fun part: grooming the steeper blues and blacks to perfection with their giant, multi-ton, snowcat grooming machines.
