DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (October 7, 2025) – Deer Valley Resort will kick off the 2025/26 winter season with an exclusive Opening Weekend for Season Passholders on Saturday, Nov. 29, and Sunday, Nov. 30, before welcoming the public on Monday, Dec. 1. This milestone season marks the debut of the resort’s largest-ever expansion, offering guests more terrain, more lifts, and more opportunities to experience the Deer Valley Difference. 

“So much hard work has gone into meeting and exceeding our Expanded Excellence milestones ahead of the 25/26 season, and we are thrilled for guests to experience the newest phase of Deer Valley this winter,” said Deer Valley President & COO Todd Bennett. “With so many new lifts, runs and untouched terrain to explore, guests can take comfort knowing they will be met with the same unparalleled guest service and luxury experience for which Deer Valley is known wherever they find themselves on the mountain.” 

As part of the ongoing Expanded Excellence initiative, Deer Valley has more than doubled the resort’s skiable terrain. Seven new chairlifts and 80 new ski runs will debut this season, bringing the resort’s total to 10 new lifts and nearly 100 new runs since December 2024. Three of these key connectors, which will enhance flow across the expanded resort and provide access to new terrain, include: 

East Village Express Gondola 
Linking the new Deer Valley East Village to Park Peak, the East Village Gondola is Utah’s first 10- passenger gondola, with individual heated seats, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and cabins arriving every 12 seconds. The system boasts an uphill capacity of 3,000 guests per hour and ensures a ride experience that is smooth, silent and visually stunning. 

Pinyon Express 
The Pinyon Express links Deer Valley’s existing terrain on Flagstaff Mountain with new beginner- friendly, high alpine trails near Park Peak. Guests will enjoy 
six-passenger bubble chairs with individually heated seats, designed to 
deliver protection and warmth at high elevation.

Revelator Express 
A less-than-5-minute ride on the new Revelator Express quad lift gives skiers access to never- before-skied terrain on the new Park Peak.

In total, the resort will boast 31 chairlifts, over 200 ski runs, seven bowls, and 4,300 skiable acres for the 25/26 season. The Deer Valley East Village will also offer 1,200 new day skier parking spaces this winter for a smooth, convenient arrival and departure experience for guests.
