PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort celebrated a major milestone in its historic expansion project as helicopters installed lift towers for the new Revelator Express chairlift during a public viewing event last weekend.

The tower installation represents significant progress in the resort’s “Expanded Excellence” initiative, which officials say will create the largest ski resort expansion in history by more than doubling Deer Valley’s skiable terrain.

“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.”

The new Revelator Express lift on Park Peak will feature 16 towers, 86 chairs and a 4.33-minute ride time when completed. The chairlift will span 4,000 feet with a vertical rise of 1,556 feet.

The ambitious project will debut seven new chairlifts and 80 new ski runs this winter season. Combined with additions made since December 2024, the expansion will bring Deer Valley’s total to 10 new lifts and nearly 100 new runs.

When complete for the 2025-26 season, the resort will operate 31 chairlifts across more than 200 ski runs, seven bowls and 4,300 skiable acres. The expansion also includes the new East Village area, which will provide 1,200 day skier parking spaces.

The project represents one of the most significant developments in Utah’s ski industry, with Deer Valley joining other major resorts in expanding capacity to meet growing demand for winter recreation.
