The St. Regis Deer Valley Takes Guest Ski Experience to New Heights

Featured in three Warren Miller films, Richardson is one of The St. Regis Deer Valley's Ski Ambassadors for the 2014/2015 winter season, and the perfect host for skiers in search of an adrenaline rush and spectacular views in Utah's vast and famous backcountry. A three time national American champion alpine ski racer, Richardson competed in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, finishing in the top 20 in the alpine skiing combined both times. In addition to a full day of backcountry skiing with Richardson, the Backcountry Experience, which accommodates up to six guests, includes:

• Private round-trip transportation to the mountain in a Mercedes Benz G550
• A gourmet high alpine lunch catered by The St. Regis Deer Valley
• End of day celebration with a Champagne sabering
• Private snowcat transportation
• Certified and highly experienced backcountry guide support
• Backcountry equipment supplied by White Pine Touring

Package rates start at $10,000*. Customized and personalized trips can be arranged based on the individual needs of the group. The incredible Backcountry Experience is supported by the resort's partners at White Pine Touring and Park City Powder Cats. The backcountry tours are based out of Thousand Peaks Ranch, which, true to its name, offers access to 43,000 exclusive acres of private backcountry powder in the pristine Uinta Mountains. The spectacular ski terrain encompasses an area larger than Vail, Aspen and Killington combined.

The Backcountry Experience package allows skiers the unique chance to explore untouched snow, with no chairlifts in sight. Richardson notes, “With no one around for miles, the wilderness of the Uinta Mountains allows us to connect with nature in a completely encompassing way. In a world of constant noise and obligation, the Backcountry Experience not only offers a thrilling day on the slopes, but a mind-body-soul sense of peace, which is truly a rare opportunity.”

In addition to the Backcountry Experience with Kaylin Richardson, the resort also offers a full roster of Ski Ambassadors made up of Olympic legends and U.S. Ski Team members, including: Kris “Fuzz” Feddersen, K.C. Oakley, Jillian Vogtli and Mac Bohonnon. Guests can design bespoke experiences with any of these Olympic legends and U.S. Ski Team members, with half-day rates starting at $1,995.
