Expanded Excellence

A collection of projects that will evolve and elevate the Deer Valley experience for future generations, Expanded Excellence includes more than doubling the resort’s skiable terrain, introducing the all-new Deer Valley East Village, upgrading key infrastructure, and reimagining the Snow Park base area.

For the 2025/26 ski season, Deer Valley unveils nearly 100 new ski runs, 10 new chairlifts, and the 10-passenger East Village Express Gondola, connecting the new Deer Valley East Village with Park Peak. This is part of a transformational vision that more than doubles our skiable terrain of the resort.

On July 19, 2025, our community gathered atop Bald Mountain to watch helicopters set towers for the new East Village Gondola and Pinyon Express. Guests rode up the mountain, kids rode free, and cheers rose as each tower locked into place—an unforgettable milestone in Deer Valley’s future. The celebration continued on the Silver Lake Lawn with live music, food trucks, and family fun.

Next up: Join us Sunday, September 7 as helicopters return to place towers for the new Revelator Express. The first 750 guests to arrive receive a free lift ticket (first-come, first-served; walk-up only). After that, kids ride free with each paying adult. See you on the mountain!

Now, we’re excited to venture even further.
