“Resort terrain is not suitable for sledding, tubing, or anything of the like and may increase the risk of losing control and colliding with objects (natural or man-made). Doing so may lead to serious injury or death.” -Deer Valley
Nothing says wholesome innocent fun like pulling out the sleds on a snowy day and whooping it up with your family and friends but it’s prohibited at just about every ski resort in the world for a good reason.
Every year it seems like we cover catastrophic accidents at ski resort involving sledding down ski runs and we would like to take a moment and let Devon from the Deer Vally Ski Patrol explain why it’s super dangerous and should never be attempted.
Listen up folks, when you’re at the ski resort leave your sleds at home. Cheers.

Sledding and tubing are prohibited on resort property at any time, day or night.
- Resort terrain is not suitable for sledding, tubing, or anything of the like and may increase the risk of losing control and colliding with objects (natural or man-made). Doing so may lead to serious injury or death.
- Maintenance of the Resort is a 24-hour operation. Snowmaking, grooming, and chairlift maintenance occur during and outside operational hours. During these operations, unauthorized persons on the premises expose themselves to extreme hazards. In addition to the dangers posed by the highly pressurized snowmaking equipment, our snowcats and snowmobiles continually traverse the slopes during grooming activities.
