This U.S. Ski Resort Quietly Opened Nearly 100 New Runs This Season-and Snowboarders Are Still Not Allowed

"Whenever I'm asked about my favorite place to ski in the United States, I always have the same response: Deer Valley. The Park City, Utah, resort-neighbor to Park City Mountain-made it easy for me to fall back in love with skiing as an adult. Each winter, I look forward to planning a trip out to the Wasatch Mountains, eager to spend all day on its well-groomed pistes, have a low-key après moment at a slopeside five-star hotel, and get my fill of snow, sun, and shopping in downtown Park City. This year, I'm even more excited to get out on its trails-dozens of which I've never skied before."

""We've added 10 new chairlifts and nearly 100 new runs as part of our multiyear expansion. Guests can now start their day in the new Deer Valley East Village, ride the new gondola to Park Peak, and ski the new 4.8-mile Green Monster run," he tells Travel + Leisure. "I'm especially excited about how connected the mountain feels. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, there are new routes, new views, and a lot more ways to explore the resort.""
