Deer Valley Resort's Historic Expansion: By The Numbers

"Growth in the U.S. ski industry has largely stalled since the 1980s, with 95% of all skiable acres in the county being developed before 1980. Only 26 resorts have opened since, including Deer Valley Resort which opened in 1981. The mountain's newest expansion, opening in the 2025/2026 ski season, doubles the terrain by adding an enormous 2,300 acres. Deer Valley broke down the exact numbers of this massive expansion which marks the largest in U.S. ski history."

"Accessibility: The new base at the East Village adds 1,200 parking spaces and a direct, stoplight-free route from Salt Lake City International Airport, making travel from plane to slopes easier than ever. Guest Experience: Despite the massive expansion, Deer Valley is continuing to limit the daily number of skiers allowed on the mountain per-day, requiring reservations and only offering 7 days of access to Ikon Pass holders."

Deer Valley Resort will open a 2,300-acre expansion in the 2025/2026 season that doubles the mountain's terrain. The expansion adds 100 runs and 10 chairlifts with a balanced mix of beginner, intermediate, and advanced terrain. The project installed over 80 miles of underground piping, four pump houses, and more than 12,200 snow guns capable of covering 200 acres with a foot of snow overnight. A new East Village base provides 1,200 parking spaces and a direct, stoplight-free route from Salt Lake City International Airport. Daily skier numbers will remain limited through reservations and Ikon Pass access restrictions.
