Provo River
 | 1 PHOTO Great ride from above Woodland to the 1000 E. bridge (which is a good scare during high water, 1500 cfs). After the bridge the log jams, second diversion dam and constant river splits can be fun in the right craft (13 ft raft, not recommended). Great rush!... Yeah...this river especially the lower part...really rocks.... |

Deer Valley
| 20 miles away ...r?s addition of the new Lady Morgan Express chairlift and nine new ski runs on 200+ additional acres has been a huge draw to both new and returning ski guests. ?Opening up the Lady Morgan section of the mountain last season has truly rounded out our mountain experience,? says Bob Wheaton, Resort president and general manager. ?Although we opened up a new chairlift and nine new runs, we kept our skier cap of 6,500 tickets sold per day. So, we have more room and fewer skiers and our guests love the new area. And the proximity to the Empire Canyon Lodge for lunch makes it really convenient. Some guests are spending their entire day on that side of the mountain, skiing Empire Canyon and Lady Morgan exclusively. There?s that much terrain to explore. Sixty-five of the 200+ acres we added last year in Lady Morgan are gladed. We now have 930 acres of glade skiing and some of the best tree skiing in the world here at DeerValley?. The powder in the trees, the quiet ? it?s an unforgettable experience.? It is this commitment to quality and an intimate ski vacation experience that has resul... |
