Luckily, there was plenty to do

Montage Deer Valley - part 4

After checking out, I still had 5 hours to kill before my airport shuttle would pick me up.  Luckily, I found plenty to do around here.  Top on the list: making s'mores!

Just outside Apex restaurant and overlooking the Deer Valley slopes is a large fire pit. Every afternoon in the winter, resort guests gather around here to roast marshmallows, make s'mores, and socialize.  There's a tiny table completely set-up with delicious-flavored marshmallows and hot chocolate.  Everyone talks about this sheer delight.  Another must-do when you're in Montage Deer Valley.

This little chap is a regular here. 

The outdoor fire pit overlooks the snow-laden slopes and offers a gorgeous view.
Frosty being there was a bonus!

It's just as cozy indoors.  Warm up by the fireplace in the Grand Hall and enjoy the quiet surroundings.  I could have easily fallen asleep on the sofa.
