In 2002 both Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley became a field of dreams for American athletes at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. The first event drew 12,000 spectators – a North American record. He featured rock bands, street dances, speed skiers, skydivers, and – oh yes – world class ski racing. Craig Badami, the lively son of the then-resort owner, pulled out all stops. In March 1985, Park City Ski Area held its first World Cup ski race on Willy’s run when another resort cancelled. By the late 1980s, Deer Valley ski area was recognized as one of the country’s elite skiing areas. It included the Snow Park and Silver Lake lodge along with the “Burns” and “Carpenter” lifts. Deer Valley resort opened in December 1981 with five chairlifts and thirty rails. The development not only included the original Snow Park, but also Bald Mountain, Flagstaff Mountain, and Empire Canyon. The Royal Street Land Company acquired the rights to develop Deer Valley in 1975 and within a year unveiled a proposal for a six-phase project to accommodate 12,000 skiers. The resort was called Treasure Mountain Resort.

The $1.2 million dollars bought a gondola, base and summit lodges, a chairlift, a J-bar, and a nine-hole golf course. The last surviving mining company in Park City, United Park City Mines, turned to skiing with help from a federal loan meant to revive economically depressed rural towns in 1963. Scandinavian miners built a jump on the Creole Mine dump, (now the Creole ski run to the Town Lift), and held jumping tournaments. The Lakehouse at Deer Creek () See 10 Reviews.
