Deer Valley expansion announced

Deer Valley’s “Expanded Excellence” lift-and-trail rollout grows the resort to more than 4,300 skiable acres for the 2025–26 season, a footprint the resort says is over twice its pre‑expansion size. (expandedexcellence.deervalley.com) This season’s construction includes roughly 10 new lifts — highlighted by a 10‑passenger East Village gondola — and close to 80 new runs added to the mountain’s trail map. (tetongravity.com) The build is being phased: the East Village gondola and Park Peak terrain opened in 2025–26, Hail Peak is slated for additional terrain in 2026–27, and later phases target South Peak as part of multi‑year development. (powder.com) Alterra Mountain Company first framed the program as a major expansion in its August 24, 2023 announcement, describing a plan to add roughly 3,700 acres and multiple new lifts as part of the resort’s growth. (alterramtn.co) The East Village is anchored by new branded hospitality projects: Four Seasons and developer Extell announced plans for a Four Seasons Resort & Private Residences with about 134 hotel rooms and roughly 123 residences, and Extell has secured construction financing for the project. (press.fourseasons.com) Deer Valley and local outlets describe the program as one of the largest ski‑area expansions in North American history, with full buildout projected to put the resort above roughly 5,700 total skiable acres, about 37 lifts and roughly 238 runs.
