SPRING BREAK 2009~ Man, What A Trip!!!! Part II~ Deer Valley, Utah

Life is good in Deer Valley. That is all I have to say. No seriously...I've always been a "Colorado" skier gal myself but after skiing Utah I'm not so sure we'll venture anywhere else to take in the slopes. Why you ask? What can I say? It's just THAT good there. Cadillac skiing no doubt. I think the easiness of it was just too hard to beat. I mean you fly into Salt Lake City, grab your rental car, head up the road, pass Park City and in less than 30 minutes you are settling in! I wish I had some better pics of our condo so you can see for yourself but as of now we are requesting the exact unit for next year so I will try to do better. It was perfect for our large family of 12. I think we had 5 bedrooms, even more baths and all on 4 different levels which really worked out great. The kids had an awesome bunk/game room complete with 4 bunks and pool table! Oh and the place also had an outdoor hot tub which was a big hit. Like I said...I wish I had taken more snaps while inside.
