What’s New at Deer Valley Resort

Deer Valley Resort is in the midst of its largest expansion ever. The “Expanded Excellence” project will more than double the size of the resort to 5,726 acres. Upon completion, Deer Valley will be one of the largest ski resorts in North America. The project will include a new resort gateway and village, as well as revitalize existing mountain facilities. For winter 2025-26, Deer Valley plans to open 2,900 acres of terrain, featuring more trails and lifts, without sacrificing its signature commitment to comfort and crowd control. Expanded terrain will remain ski-only. 

The project will open in phases over several years. Construction is not expected to have a significant impact on the mountain during the coming ski season.
