Building on last season’s historic expansion, Deer Valley Resort’s Expanded Excellence vision continues to unfold for the 26/27 winter season. The new Hail Peak Express lift will open access to 200 new skiable acres, while additional enhancements across the resort include a new family-friendly snow feature zone off Pioche Express and a 10-million-gallon reservoir adjacent to Park Peak for enhanced snowmaking efforts.
Since December 2024, Deer Valley has more than doubled in size, adding 11 new chairlifts and will have 4,500 skiable acres for the 26/27 winter season, marking the largest resort expansion in ski industry history.
Hail Peak Express – Coming Winter 26/27
New for the 26/27 winter season, Hail Peak Express carries skiers from Deer Valley East Village to the resort’s newest terrain on Hail Peak. With 86 chairs moving 2,400 guests per hour, Hail Peak Express will add 200 skiable acres and seven new runs this winter season. The addition brings the resort’s snowmaking coverage up to 932 acres and 32 total lifts. One of the seven runs that will debut this year on Hail Peak, “Hill Yeah”, pays tribute to Hill Air Force Base in Northern Utah, and reinforces the shared commitment behind the Salute to Service program - an initiative that honors service members and military families through exclusive lodging, lift ticket and resort offerings.
New chairlifts since December 2024 include Keetley Express, HooDoo Express, Aurora, Galena Express, Pioche Express, Neptune Express, Vulcan Express, Revelator Express, Pinyon Express, Hail Peak Express, and the Deer Valley East Village Gondola.
