SCOUT REVIEW
Founders Place is one of Deer Valley’s most exciting new luxury developments, offering a fresh option for travelers who want more than just a hotel stay. Positioned at the base of the Mountaineer Express lift, the property boasts one of the few truly ski-in ski-out locations in this part of Deer Valley. From the moment you step inside, it’s clear that Founders Place was designed for today’s skier who values both convenience and elevated comfort.
The residences themselves are spacious and thoughtfully designed, with layouts ranging from multi-bedroom family units to expansive penthouses. Interiors blend clean, modern lines with warm mountain-inspired finishes, featuring gourmet kitchens, fireplaces, spa-like bathrooms, and large windows that frame mountain views. These are full-scale residences rather than typical hotel rooms, making them ideal for families, groups of friends, or extended stays.
Amenities are equally impressive, with a slopeside ski valet, heated pool and hot tubs, fitness facilities, and curated lounge areas perfect for après-ski gatherings. Unlike some Deer Valley properties that lean heavily on traditional alpine charm, Founders Place offers a distinctly modern and sophisticated feel — more private retreat than bustling ski lodge.
Founders Place delivers a refined, ski-focused experience for travelers who want the space and independence of a luxury residence paired with the services of a premium resort.
Who should stay here
Founders Place is best for families, groups, or long-stay guests who want spacious, modern residences with direct ski access and a quieter Deer Valley setting.
Location
Located at the base of Deer Valley’s Mountaineer Express lift, Founders Place offers direct ski-in ski-out access. While it’s not in the heart of Silver Lake Village, the property provides a peaceful and private slopeside experience. Park City’s historic Main Street is about a 10–15 minute drive, making a car or private shuttle the most convenient option for dining and nightlife outside the resort.
