The ski-only resort is now delivering the largest expansion in ski resort history for the 2025/26 season. This winter, Deer Valley unveils seven new chairlifts, including a 10-passenger gondola, and more than 80 new ski runs. In total, this expansion brings the resort to 10 new lifts and over 100 new runs added since December 2024, marking a major milestone in Deer Valley’s transformation.
