As part of its “Expanded Excellence” initiative, first announced last fall, Deer Valley Ski Resort in Park City will open the first phase of its announced expansion in time for the 2024-25 ski season. Opening this year are three new chairlifts, over 300 new skiable acres, several new ski runs and 500 additional skier parking spots originating from the Deer Valley East Village, currently under development with access from U.S. Route 40.
Opening this year are the Keetley Express, a six-person chairlift with a bubble, connecting Deer Valley East Village to the existing Deer Valley footprint, dropping skiers off near the bottom terminal of the Sultan Express chairlift on Bald Mountain. The additional two chairlifts, Hoodoo Express and Aurora, will service new beginner-level ski trails and provide return access to the new Deer Valley East Village.
The new facilities opening this year will be joined next season by six additional chairlifts, including a 10-passenger gondola, nearly 100 new ski runs and 700 more parking spaces.
“In just a couple of months, we are looking forward to welcoming our guests to experience the beginning of Deer Valley’s Expanded Excellence vision,” said Todd Bennett, president and chief operating officer of Deer Valley.
