Deer Valley Snow Park Amphitheater

Every summer, the Snow Park Outdoor Amphitheater at the base of Deer Valley Resort in Park City fills with picnic blankets and lawn chairs for some of Utah's best-loved concerts. The Deer Valley Music Festival, now more than twenty seasons old, brings orchestral programs to the hillside, and the Deer Valley Concert Series adds touring acts across the summer.

During the 2026 summer concert series, Fat Fish Media brought our broadcast trailer and camera operators to Snow Park to cut live camera feeds for the screens beside the stage, so guests at the back of the lawn could see the performers up close.

The venue

  • A sloped lawn: the audience sits on a grassy hillside facing a shell stage, with the ski runs and chairlifts rising behind.
  • A resort setting: parking, food and lodging are close by at the Snow Park base area, and many guests come from Park City hotels.
  • Mountain weather: summer afternoons can bring fast-moving storms, and evenings cool quickly once the sun drops behind the ridge.
  • Address: 2250 Deer Valley Drive South, Park City, at the base of the resort.

IMAG and broadcast at the amphitheater

On a long lawn, many guests are a long way from the stage. Large screens beside the stage, fed by cameras on the performers, let the back of the hill see the music being made. For the 2026 series our setup included:

  • Multiple cameras, including operated cameras in the audience and positions on the performers, cut live for the screens.
  • Our broadcast trailer, parked behind the amphitheater, where a director switched the show and an engineer managed signal and recording.
  • Feeds for the IMAG screens on each side of the stage, with camera shots and color set so the screens read in late afternoon sun and after dark.

The same trailer can record a concert for later release or stream it live, and we offer it with crew for events across Utah and the Mountain West. See our rentals page for both broadcast trucks.

Producing outdoors in the mountains

  • Weather plans: we monitor storms through the day, protect gear on the stage and at front of house, and agree hold and evacuation procedures with the venue before doors.
  • Temperature swings: a warm afternoon soundcheck can turn into a cold night. We plan for crew comfort and for gear that runs in both.
  • Load-in on grass: trucks, cable and screen structures have to reach the stage without damaging the lawn. We route cables, protect walkways and plan where heavy equipment can go.
  • Sunset: the show changes as daylight fades. Screens need to be bright enough at the start and lighting cues should build as the sky darkens.
  • Altitude and distance: Park City is a mountain town and the drive from Salt Lake City takes time, especially with gear. We plan crew calls and any backup gear accordingly.

Beyond concerts

The resort also hosts weddings, corporate retreats and private events across its lodges and outdoor spaces. We produce concerts and festivals and corporate events across Park City, with staging, lighting, audio and outdoor LED screens built for mountain conditions.
