Red Cloud at Empire Pass
Red Cloud is a private, gated ski-in/ski-out community at the top of Empire Pass in Deer Valley Resort. The community consists of approximately 30 custom-built residences on homesites ranging from roughly one to nearly two acres, providing meaningful separation between properties at an elevation of approximately 8,900 feet. Homes are positioned along and adjacent to groomed ski terrain, with access to Empire, Lady Morgan, and Flagstaff Mountain runs directly from the community. Views extend across Empire Canyon and toward Jupiter Peak and Park City Mountain Resort.

Post-2020 PPSF median is $2,030, up 66.6% from the pre-2020 median of $1,218 — the steepest appreciation rate among Estate communities in the Empire Pass MLS dataset.

Community and Design
Red Cloud occupies the uppermost reach of Deer Valley's Empire Pass area, with access routed along Empire Pass Road past Montage Deer Valley. The community is intentionally limited in scale, and the private gated entry means daily life inside Red Cloud is separated from the resort's broader activity. Homes are positioned along groomed terrain with each homesite individually developed rather than built to a repeating plan. Architecture throughout the community reflects a modern mountain approach, using wood, stone, and steel in configurations specific to each property's elevation, orientation, and ski access line.
Floor plans emphasize scale and flow consistent with the price tier, typically ranging from approximately 6,900 to 11,250 square feet with 5 to 8 bedrooms. Large windows and outdoor living spaces are designed to maintain a consistent relationship with the mountain views, which extend toward Jupiter Peak, Empire Canyon, and Park City Mountain Resort. Mature trees are preserved where possible, and development guidelines protect open space and view corridors to maintain long-term consistency in the neighborhood's character.
At approximately 8,900 feet of elevation, Red Cloud benefits from reliable snow accumulation and a long ski season. Historic Main Street in Park City is approximately five miles away. Salt Lake City International Airport is typically under an hour by car; private aviation options are available through Heber Valley Airport, making the community workable for both seasonal and year-round ownership.
Ski Access
Red Cloud carries Ski to Door on 8 of 10 MLS records and Ski Out of Door on 7 of 10 — the highest concentration of unit-level ski access designations among all estate-tier communities in the Empire Pass dataset. Ski Into Project and Ski Out of Project appear on 3 of 10 records, and Ski Slope Named Trails on 3 records. One record shows Ski Easement Access. The primary ski terrain accessed from Red Cloud includes the Empire Pass area runs, Lady Morgan Bowl, and Flagstaff Mountain. The Northside Express chairlift provides access to this terrain from the community.
The dominant unit-level access pattern reflects Red Cloud's positioning directly on ski terrain rather than below it. Most homes in the dataset are designed with ski rooms and access points that connect to runs without requiring a shuttle or project-boundary walk. One address in the MLS (28 Red Cloud, September 2021) shows only project-level designations without Ski to Door, suggesting that access varies by specific homesite position within the community. Buyers should confirm the specific home's ski access through HOA documents and title review during due diligence.
Market Data
Red Cloud's 9 arm's-length MLS transactions span July 2015 through March 2025. At this scale, each sale carries significant weight and the dataset should be read cautiously — a single atypical transaction can move the medians materially. That said, the directional trend is clear: pre-2020 PPSF median was $1,218 across 4 sales; post-2020 PPSF median is $2,030 across 5 sales, a 66.6% increase, the steepest in the Empire Pass estate tier.
Pre-2020 Sales (4 closings, 2015–2017)
8 Ruby Hollow: $11,162,500 (Jul 2015, 8,126 sqft, 5BR, $1,374/sf, DOM 524). 63 Red Cloud: $8,455,000 (May 2016, 11,250 sqft, 5BR, $752/sf, DOM 68) — the lowest PPSF in the dataset, reflecting the large floor plan at early-cycle pricing. 40 Red Cloud: $11,400,000 (Aug 2017, 9,693 sqft, 8BR, $1,176/sf, DOM 579). 8 Ruby: $9,900,000 (Oct 2017, 8,126 sqft, 5BR, $1,218/sf, DOM 262). Early Red Cloud sales had long DOM as buyers absorbed a new product type at this elevation and price point.
Post-2020 Acceleration (5 closings, 2021–2025)
68 Red Cloud: $13,000,000 (Apr 2021, 10,700 sqft, 6BR, $1,215/sf, DOM 60). 28 Red Cloud: $9,350,000 (Sep 2021, 9,032 sqft, 6BR, $1,035/sf, DOM 160). 47 Red Cloud: $23,497,845 (Sep 2023, 11,023 sqft, 7BR, $2,132/sf, DOM 10, cash) — the highest Red Cloud sale on record. 7 Ruby: $14,995,000 (Jan 2025, 6,903 sqft, 6BR, $2,172/sf, DOM 308, conventional). 44 Red Cloud: $16,644,000 (Mar 2025, 8,200 sqft, 5BR, $2,030/sf, DOM 11, cash). The 2025 pair establishes a new PPSF floor at $2,030.
Pricing Drivers and Cautions
With only 9 arm's-length transactions across 10 years, each Red Cloud sale is a significant data point. The $23,497,845 September 2023 sale (47 Red Cloud, 11,023 sqft) was the only transaction that year. PPSF variation by home size is material: the 11,250 sqft home at $752/sf (2016) and the 6,903 sqft home at $2,172/sf (2025) reflect how large format homes produce lower PPSF than smaller, more efficiently priced estate homes. Buyers and sellers must supplement Red Cloud comparables with broader Empire Pass and Deer Valley estate data.
DOM Context
All-time median DOM of 160 days is heavily influenced by early long-DOM deliveries (2015-2017) with several exceeding 500 days. The post-2020 transactions have moved materially faster: 47 Red Cloud at DOM 10 (2023), 44 Red Cloud at DOM 11 (2025), 68 Red Cloud at DOM 60 (2021). The 7 Ruby transaction carried DOM 308 (2025) due to a specific listing situation — still resulted in a $14.995M cash-adjacent conventional close. Buyers who have clearly identified Red Cloud as a target should not wait for the public listing cycle.
Ownership Details
All Empire Pass properties carry the Empire Pass Master HOA fee ($3,443 per year as of 2025), plus any Red Cloud community HOA fees confirmed directly. A 1% transfer fee applies to all Empire Pass properties, typically paid by the buyer at closing. On a $15,000,000 purchase that equals $150,000 at closing. SP/LP average across the 9 arm's-length sales is 0.956, indicating buyers paid approximately 95.6 cents on the dollar — meaningful negotiating room at this price tier.
Nightly rental confirmation is mixed in the MLS: 4 records confirm Y, 1 shows N (on a non-arm's-length transfer record), and 5 records have no designation. This is a less reliable nightly rental signal than most Empire Pass communities. Buyers who require nightly rental rights must confirm at the specific property level through CC&Rs and HOA documents before closing. Do not assume nightly rental transfers automatically with the home.
Talisker Club membership is not required to purchase at Red Cloud. As part of the broader Talisker Club community, some owners may pursue optional membership providing access to golf at Tuhaye, the Tower Club (pool, spa, dining, gym), and additional amenities. Whether a specific home includes a Talisker membership or facilitates access should be confirmed with the seller and verified in purchase documents. Talisker Club membership is mandatory only at The Residences at the Tower. See the Talisker Club membership information page for full details.
