Montage Deer ValleyMontage Residences Deer Valley has reported more than $88 million in sales in the past 23 months, with 23 residences sold and continued momentum heading into the winter season. The brisk activity has redefined the Park City real estate market and further positions Montage Residences Deer Valley as the market leader. This summer and fall, Montage Residences Deer Valley closed six residences, totaling close to $20 million in transactions, prompting a strong forecast for the remainder of the year and moving into 2013.

“Our recent sales activity provides validation that Park City is a true four-season destination and our owners are attracted to the distinctive Montage lifestyle,” said Ed Rehill, Director of Sales for Montage Residences Deer Valley. “Year-round interest in our residential offering speaks to the desirable components of the property, as well as easy accessibility from many cities throughout the country,” said Mr. Rehill.

Positioned at the top of Empire Pass in Deer Valley, the spectacular location of Montage Residences Deer Valley offers breathtaking panorama mountain valley views and unparalleled ski-in/ski-out access.

Concert in the Sky at Montage Deer Valley

By Nancy Barth
Sep 07, 2012

Concert in the Sky at Montage Deer ValleyLast weekend, we had the pleasure of attending Montage Deer Valley’s inaugural “Concert in the Sky.”  The sold out performance featured rock bands Guster and O.A. R., and the hotel was turned into an amphitheater for the night, taking advantage of the dramatic setting that gave guests a 75-mile viewpoint down into the Park City valley. 

Guests with VIP tickets were able to enjoy a delicious casual dinner, complimentary open bar and views of the stage from the grand terrace at Montage Deer Valley.  Many guests booked a room facing the lawn and had the opportunity to order room service while watching the concert. 

The bands played on a full-blown stage that measured 40-feet-by-40 feet.  Guests were also unexpectedly “treated” to a spectacular lightning show as a thunder storm rolled in, delaying O.A. R.’s performance by several minutes. 

According to Montage Deer Valley’s director of sales, Kurt Diekhoff, the idea for hosting the concert was planted before the resort was built at Deer Valley.  It took about three years to work out some of the logistics.  Montage Deer Valley is planning to offer more concerts like this one, and there is speculation that the resort will be offering a series of 12 concerts.  We’ll keep you posted as we get more information.

Three Stages of Relaxation at the Montage Spa at Deer Valley

By Jim Barth
May 31, 2012

Below is an excerpt from a charming story written by Nancy Anderson as found in a recent entry in the Official Blog of Deer Valley Resort.  It’s about her experience at the Montage Spa at Deer Valley. 

“Kissing Monty wasn’t one of the skin care tips I picked up when I had a facial at the Montage Spa but it probably should be.  When I arrived at the Montage, I was introduced to their friendly furry mascot, a Bernese Mountain dog named Monty.  When I crouched down to greet him, I was rewarded by sloppy licks to the face. As I plopped right down on the floor, he tickled my neck as I totally lost myself in laughter.  What a wonderful way to start my afternoon of relaxation – smart too – because research shows petting a dog actually lowers blood pressure. Monty helped me easily shake off my work day and enter my first stage of relaxation.”

 To read the entire entry, please see the Deer Valley Resort blog.
