The folks at Deer Valley Resort invite guests to “Raise your glass to Deer Valley’s newest après experience, Chute Eleven, a luxury yurt nestled next to Empire Canyon Lodge. Featuring signature cocktails, indulgent small bites, and a lively atmosphere, this latest addition to the resort’s après lineup is now open daily from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. throughout the 2024-2025 ski season.”

“Chute Eleven brings a fresh, new après experience to Empire Canyon, adding yet another way for Deer Valley guests to kick back and revel in another perfect day of skiing,” said Jacob Musyt, Deer Valley Vice President of Food & Beverage. “No matter where they choose to ‘cheers’ at the end of their runs, guests will receive the same attention to detail and unrivaled guest service our Deer Valley team offers at every edge of the mountain.” 

Nestled in the heart of Empire Canyon, just steps from the iconic Empire Lodge, Chute Eleven redefines luxury après. When guests step inside this new cozy yurt, ski gear is traded for champagne flutes, gourmet fare, and unforgettable moments.
