Deer Valley Resort Launches Midday First Tracks With 'Corduroy Lunch Club'

DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (Feb. 6, 2026) – Deer Valley Resort introduces a new way to experience first tracks without the early wake-up call. Debuting today, Corduroy Lunch Club is a new midday skiing experience that gives guests access to freshly groomed ski runs at noon. To celebrate the launch, the first Corduroy Lunch guests will receive a complimentary commemorative hat while supplies last. Additionally, Deer Valley is introducing a new Shepherd’s Pie, available exclusively at Deer Valley East Village Restaurant. Finished with mashed potatoes groomed to resemble fresh corduroy, this signature dish is a playful nod to the new lunchtime first tracks experience.

“The Corduroy Lunch Club expands access to untouched runs for guests seeking fresh, wide-open runs later in the day,” said Deer Valley Resort President & Chief Operating Officer Todd Bennett. “This special daily offering is one more way skiers can experience new Expanded Excellence terrain, as well as the new offerings in Deer Valley East Village.”

Corduroy Lunch Club
Each day at noon, a rope drop at the Deer Valley East Village Gondola mid-station will open freshly groomed terrain, offering first-tracks access on approximately three to six ski runs daily. Guests will enjoy Deer Valley’s signature corduroy and the opportunity to be among the first on the new runs, an experience typically associated with early-morning skiing, reimagined for lunchtime. The experience will be open daily to the public with a valid lift ticket or pass.

Today marks the first day of Corduroy Lunch Club, which will provide midday first-track access to five new ski runs: Tug of War, Evening Star, Sure Thing, Matchless, and To the Max. In honor of the official kickoff, the first guests will receive a complimentary commemorative hat at today’s Corduroy Lunch rope drop (while supplies last).

In addition, Record Rates for Record Runs offers two more offerings to celebrate Deer Valley’s Expanded Excellence initiative and growing number of new ski runs this season:

Half Off Half-Day Lift Tickets
On days when new records are set, skiers pay a half-day lift ticket price equal to the number of runs open, whether that’s $132 for 132 runs or $202 for the full 202. Mountain access for Record Rates for Record Runs begins at 12:30 p.m., with tickets available same day, walk-up only at Deer Valley ticket offices. Guests simply ask the Ticket Office for today’s deal.

Deer Valley Turkey Chili – Passholder Exclusive
As part of the Record Rates for Record Runs celebration, Deer Valley Season Pass holders and Ikon Pass holders can enjoy Deer Valley’s signature Turkey Chili at a price tied directly to the day’s run count. Each day, the price reflects the number of ski runs open, from $1.32 when 132 runs are available, with a maximum price of $2.02 as the resort progresses toward its full 202-run expansion.

The Turkey Chili offer is available daily, only at the Deer Valley East Village Lodge and is valid for passholders who have skied and scanned their Deer Valley Season Pass or Ikon Pass that day.
