Deer Valley’s Vast Expansion Soft Opening This Winter

A vast expansion of Deer Valley resort's ski area will have a soft opening this winter, with the official full unveiling for winter 25/26 it has been announced.
Deer Valley, one of the ski areas next to the famous ski town and now 2034 Olympic hosts Park City, currently cover 2,026 acres, but the expansion will see its footprint nearly triple with a remarkable 3,700 new acres and no less than 16 new chairlifts!
So far it is unclear if everything will be available for the soft opening this winter, or only a part of the huge new area.
Along with the new ski terrain, a new village and hub with direct access to Route 40, and new accommodation, dining and retail options are all being added. The expansion was originally planned to be a separate, new resort adjacent to Deer Valley but was instead absorbed into the existing area.
At over 5,700 acres Deer Valley will also become one of North America's five largest ski areas by most measures, with the largest in the US its neighbour Park City Mountain resort. It means Park City will have 13,000 acres of skiable terrain on its doorstep.
The resort is also constructing a high-end Grand Hyatt Deer Valley hotel.
"Opening in advance of the 2024/25 ski season, guests can make the most of sophisticated dining, fun après-ski, welcoming kids' club, entertaining games room, on-site ski lockers, and electric vehicle chargers alongside the 442 luxury rooms, suites and private residences," a resort spokesperson said, adding, "Although part of Park City, Deer Valley's atmosphere and accommodation makes it stand out. Deer Valley limits the number of skiers on the mountain each day, and guests are encouraged to purchase lift tickets, lodging, ski lessons, and rental products in advance."
