Waste Diversion

Deer Valley is committed to resort-wide recycling, which has been in place for years. Our partnership with Wild Harvest Farm in Summit County has increased composting efforts dramatically. Single-use wares are sourced to be compostable and the majority of wares used at resort restaurants are reusable.

Energy Reduction Efforts

Deer Valley Resort, along with other community entities, partnered with Rocky Mountain Power in a Request For Proposal to invest in Utah renewable energy that will generate 308,000 megawatt hours of power. We currently utilize 937 blocks of Rocky Mountain Power Subscriber Solar (2.25 gigawatt hours).

Since 2005, energy around the resort has been reduced by 3.6 gigawatt hours per year. This has been done through an LED lighting overhaul, the use of high efficiency snow guns; electronic motor starters and drives, and high efficiency natural gas equipment upgrades.
