“Bob is now skiing better, more elegantly, more smoothly than he’s ever skied at any other time of his life,” Warren remarks, as the acclaimed actor rolls his rugged hands over the edges of his new skis. When he’s not making movies or promoting the spirit of independent film at the Sundance Film Festival, which he created, Redford can be found here, skiing the 450 acres of skiable terrain with Warren or other buddies. “We decided to offer something really special and homegrown, in the form of art and culture, spirit and service.” “Our pledge to the area was really a pledge to the people,” he told Washington Life, as he sat in in the cramped office of Sundance Mountain Ski Director and longtime friend, Jerry Warren. He began upgrading the resort in the mid-80s, once he’d hit his stride as an iconic film legend. Redford purchased the 5,000-acre property deep in the heart of Utah’s Wasatch Mountain Range in 1969, his breakout year as an actor when he starred with Paul Newman in “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.” Money was tight back then for the Broadway actor just breaking onto the silver screen, so Redford had to get a loan from the local bank. “To me Sundance is and always will be a dream…The sights, the smells, the taste and feel of this place is a dream that we’ve carefully nurtured and worked hard to protect.” “Wonderful, just wonderful,” Redford exclaims, as he eyes the crowds lining up for the chair lift, before entering the ski school yurt to check out new Rossignol demos which he’ll use to ski down the mountain later. “The sights, the smells, the taste and feel of this place is a dream that we’ve carefully nurtured and worked hard to protect.” (Photo Courtesy of Sundance) For reservations please call 800-241-RUDY.“To me Sundance is and always will be a dream,” says Robert Redford.

The main dining room is situated in front of the massive Empire Fireplace. This concept would seem out of place otherwise. The space can easily morph into a fine dining venue because of the over-the-top interior design. The restaurant is located in the lodge’s daytime cafeteria and utilizes all four fireplaces to cook the food over open hearths. They opened Fireside restaurant, which is a European Alps-inspired winter-dining experience. The Deer Valley Resort stepped up and created a luxury dining experience like no other in North America. The question to consider is: After the sun has gone down and the skiers have retired for the day what are the options for a 25,000+ square foot ski lodge at the base of Empire Canyon? This premium construction commercially demands multi purpose usage in order to make a return on investment. The massive timber frame construction that supports the structure is like being in a skiing cathedral. From the inside you’ll appreciate the wood and natural stone materials.
