The newly constructed facility, faci-lity, which opened Dec. 15, adds to Deer Valley's accomodation acco-modation collection and has been -designed to meet the standards of skiers who don't worry about cost as much as comfort and class.

The lodge will be open all year, with the warm weather fare including horseback riding, tennis, golf and hiking, as well as swimming in the lodge's all-year heated pool. If you don't feel like skiing in the winter or taking part in any of the aforementioned summer activities, you can work out in the lodge's health spa or have yourself done over in the beauty salon. Of course, Stien has opened another sports shop inside the lodge, so you don't have to leave on those days when you need equipment. The hotel is managed by Rand Clark, who formerly managed the Sands Hotel -and Casino in Las Vegas. Eriksen says guests will be treated with "Norwegian hospitality" from the minute they arrive. He says the bellmen are trained in it. According to the lodge's release on its opening, it employs a staff of hundreds, from chefs to housekeepers and everyone else. Eriksen says the lodge was built to give guests "an unforgettable mountain experience." |
