Deer Valley's Terrain Expansion Progresses Following Future In Flight Event
DEER VALLEY RESORT; PARK CITY, UTAH (Sept. 11, 2025) – On the heels of the second successful Expanded Excellence: Future in Flight event at Deer Valley Resort, where enthusiastic members of the community watched the aerial placement of lift towers for the new Revelator Express lift, the resort’s ambitious Expanded Excellence initiative is on its way to “Double the Deer Valley” in what will be the largest ski resort expansion in history.
“Helicopters placing the lifts for our new Revelator Express lift was an unforgettable sight for our guests this past weekend, and it was an important milestone we were proud to share with them,” said Deer Valley Resort President & Chief Operating Officer Todd Bennett. “With three months to go until Opening Day, our focus remains on our terrain expansion which will give guests access to new, never-before-skied landscapes this winter season.”
Spectators had the opportunity to witness Deer Valley’s progress in person at the second Expanded Excellence: Future in Flight event this past weekend, with helicopters flying in towers for the new Revelator Express on Park Peak.

THE DEER VALLEY DIFFERENCE
Deer Valley Resort, located in Park City, Utah, set the standard for luxury in skiing by offering the service and hospitality of a five-star hotel. 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 the East Village Express—a 10-passenger gondola connecting the new Deer Valley East Village to Park Peak. Since December 2024, Deer Valley has added 10 new lifts, doubling its skiable terrain and redefining the mountain experience. This transformation is part of Expanded Excellence, a resort-wide initiative that includes a new portal at Deer Valley East Village with 1,200 day-skier parking spaces, the reimagining of Snow Park base area, and enhancements to on-mountain infrastructure. The resort now features 31 chairlifts, 4,300 skiable acres, seven bowls, and benefits from 300 inches of average annual snowfall. Deer Valley limits daily lift ticket sales and is renowned for its award-winning ski school, elegant day lodges, exceptional dining, and a wide range of luxury accommodations. Deer Valley has been named the United States’ Best Ski Resort by the World Ski Awards for 12 consecutive years.
