To celebrate Christmas, Santa Claus will be visiting Deer Valley on Christmas Eve, Dec. 24, 2012. He will be at the Snow Park Lodge area at the resort base from 9 to 11 a.m., and from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Silver Lake (mid-mountain) area. Guests and their children are invited to bring a camera and have pictures taken with Santa.
