Sundance and Slopes of Deer Valley, Here I Come! The Stein Ericksen Residences, Park City, Utah

Stein Eriksen — it’s the name of an Olympic Gold Medalist; an acclaimed Park City, Utah ski hotel; and of knockout-gorgeous, newly-constructed, ski-in, ski-out residences affiliated with the famous lodge. Designed in contemporary mountain vernacular, the 39 Stein Eriksen Residences set a new bar for ski housing.

The Stein Eriksen Lodge is­­ located in the historic mining town of Park City, Utah, roughly 35 minutes away from the Salt Lake International Airport. The area is famed for an arts scene that includes the Sundance Film Festival (imagine the rental rates then!); world-class hiking and biking trails; blue ribbon fly-fishing; and, of course, winter sports. The stand-out ski facility in the area, Deer Valley Resort, was the setting for the 2002 Winter Olympics, and is routinely acclaimed as a top U.S. resort by the likes of the World Ski Awards and Ski Magazine. The Stein Eriksen Lodge within Deer Valley has also been well-recognized, rated as “Five Star” by Forbes, and named the “Best Ski Hotel in the United States” an astonishing three years in a row, 2014-2016, in the World Ski Awards.

The Lodge

The Lodge is the namesake of Stein Eriksen (1927-2015), a charismatic Norwegian Olympic Gold Medalist who became director of the ski program and ambassador of several American ski resorts, ultimately settling at the hotel which was named in his honor. The European-style, ski-in, ski-out Lodge is home to the only Forbes Five-Star Spa in the state and is in the process of expanding its entertainment, pool, and outdoor event spaces, a project expected to be completed in June, 2018. A quick tour via video offers a look at the spa and other hotel amenities now in place:
