About Deer Valley's Empire Pass

Resorts West has opened its Silver Strike Lodge at Utah's Deer Valley Resort just in time for the 2008-09 ski season. Located in the Empire Pass area, Silver Strike's architecture pays homage to Park City's mining history, welcoming guests with historic and rustic interior design in two-, three- and four-bedroom floor plans. The 36-unit lodge offers ski-in ski-out access to the upper mountain terrain of Deer Valley.

"Ski-in ski-out access, complimentary private concierge service, luxury accommodations and a focus on offering guests local Park City products and services are Silver Strike's trademarks," said Joe Ballstaedt, president, Resorts West. "At Resorts West, we hand pick our accommodations offering from the most unique and exclusive properties in the Park City area. We couldn't say no to Silver Strike Lodge; its location, amenities and high level of service deliver on our promise to provide guests with more than just high-end lodging, we promise an unforgettable experience."

With amenities ranging from a ski prep room and heated outdoor grotto, to on-demand transportation and gourmet in-suite kitchens, Silver Strike lodge guests will receive a taste of Park City flavor with locally baked pastries and brewed coffee each morning, as well as après ski tastings with local creative private chefs. Guests are invited to book the chefs for their own in-suite family dinner or private event at the lodge.

Silver Strike's condos, or "homes," feature rough-sawn timbers, rustic stone and expansive entry foyers lined in rich rock and knotty alder. Kitchens offer custom cabinetry, slab granite counters and gourmet appliances. Each home is appointed with Bang & Olufsen sound systems to complement the unobstructed views of Empire Pass, Deer Valley and Park City. Guests can enjoy the warming fire pit for après ski, or head to the guest lounge for hot cocoa and to mingle with other company at the hearth. Silver Strike offers complimentary, on-demand transportation service to explore and enjoy the dining and nightlife in and around Main Street in Park City.

Guests will receive comprehensive vacation planning services including pre-stay arrangements (lift tickets; in-home ski fittings and rentals; grocery delivery; private chef; child care services; and more); on-site welcome, check-in and property tour; private concierge service for the duration of the stay; as well as departure assistance and follow-through.
