Deer Valley doubles terrain with 100 new runs and base village

Utah's Deer Valley opens a historic expansion adding 100 runs, 10 chairlifts and a new base village.

Deer Valley sits in Utah's Wasatch Mountains. Deer Valley earned the top ranking by focusing on five-star service, perfect slopes, and a skier-only policy.

The new East Village base has a Grand Hyatt and Canopy hotel, with Four Seasons and Waldorf Astoria coming in 2028. A high-speed gondola takes skiers to Park Peak at 2,850 metres in under 15 minutes.

From there, skiers can tackle the 7.7-kilometre Green Monster run and beginner-friendly trails with sweeping alpine views. The expansion doubles the terrain while keeping the signature service: ski butlers for fittings, lift valets to cut queues, and free twice-daily mountain tours.
