Situated less than 4 miles south of Park City, Utah, in Deer Valley, this massive resort places powder hounds right next to the slopes of Deer Valley Resort. What's more, Montage Deer Valley's Spa Montage and ski concierge services will keep you and your equipment in top shape. But its ski-in/ski-out identity doesn't make this five-star property a winter-only escape: A massive outdoor pool, kayak and canoe routes and more than 300 miles of accessible hiking trails keep the Montage Deer Valley in season all year round.

A complimentary shuttle service to nearby Park City, a fitness center, two pools and a ski rental shop are some of the other amenities here, but beware of high room rates if you book last minute accommodations.
