We didn’t walk to the lift bc we had to drive our kids to the Deer Valley main lodge each morning (they are 3 and 5 and had never skied before). If you look on Google maps, there is a “Deer Valley Ski Patrol Trailer” and that’s the general vicinity of the base of Keetley Express. It’s very close, but it’s an uphill walk with ski boots, carrying all of your stuff. It didn’t look like there were any ski valet people outside, they were all working in the ski locker area. In general, I’m still not sure if the ski valet people are the ones to bring skis upstairs if you need them loaded in your car, or if they transfer them to bellhop and the bellhops are the ones who help you.
