A Season of Expansion: Deer Valley is on track to double its overall skiable terrain by the 2025-2026 season, positioning itself as one of North America’s largest ski resorts. The 2024-2025 season marks a pivotal moment in the resort history, with the debut of the first terrain and chairlifts in the resort’s ambitious expansion set to open next month.
This winter, guests will enjoy access to the expanded terrain via three new chairlifts, offering over 300 additional skiable acres, 20 new runs, and 500 extra parking spots at the developing Deer Valley East Village. These enhancements are slated to open in late December (conditions permitting).

The Expanded Excellence initiative is a transformative multi-year development that amplifies Deer Valley’s legacy of exceptional skiing and guest service with the development of Deer Valley East Village, significant skier terrain expansion, a reimagined Snow Park including a new base village and the revitalization of existing mountain facilities.
