Deer Valley: Most expensive but deluxe in every way.  Everybody ought
to try it once; I did.  The slopes are ~70% groomed intermediate and
wide.  I think a gardener goes out with his leaf rake every night. :-)
The meals are fantastic, the silver and dishes and coffee cups with
saucers are all standard.  The bathrooms have GOLD fixtures and is
done all in marble.  And because of the cost ($25 in 1982) there are
no major crowds.

It was fun to rub elbows with the affluent, the wealthy, and the
famous.  Me and Robert Redford got to talk old times.   :-)
