PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort is on track to deliver the largest ski resort expansion in history for the 2025/26 ski season. This winter, Deer Valley will debut seven new chairlifts—including the East Village Express,a 10-passenger gondola linking the new East Village to Park Peak—and more than 80 new ski runs. These additions bring the resort’s total to 10 new lifts and over 100 new runs since December 2024, marking a defining milestone in Deer Valley’s transformation.
These advancements are part of Deer Valley’s Expanded Excellence initiative, which encompasses more than doubling the resort’s skiable terrain, upgrading key infrastructure, and reimagining the Snow Park base area.
To ensure each major element of this vision is executed to the highest standard, Deer Valley is resequencing its development plans. As such, construction at Snow Park will not begin this summer or during the 2025/26 ski season.
“With multiple large-scale projects underway, we’re strategically focusing our efforts to ensure success at every step,” said Todd Bennett, President and COO of Deer Valley Resort. “This winter’s terrain expansion—more than doubling our skiable acreage—is a once-in-a-generation transformation, and it deserves our full attention.
