Deer Valley’s new trail map shows this season’s slice of massive expansion

Seven chairlifts and nearly 80 runs opening this winter mark the largest phase yet of the resort's multi-year project

PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort’s freshly released trail map offers the clearest look yet at what skiers will actually access this winter as the resort’s multi-year expansion continues to unfold.

The 2025-26 map, released Friday, details seven additional chairlifts and nearly 80 runs opening in the coming months — the second and largest phase of terrain additions since the project began. Combined with last season’s openings, the resort now operates 10 new lifts and 100 new runs compared to two winters ago, pushing total acreage past 4,300.

The headline addition is the East Village Express, a 10-passenger gondola connecting the base village to Park Peak. Once there, skiers can drop into terrain across four integrated peaks: Park Peak, Big Dutch Peak, Keetley Point and Pioche Point.

Among the new runs is the Green Monster, a 4.8-mile groomer descending from Park Peak’s summit to East Village — one of the longer continuous runs in the Wasatch and designed to give lower-intermediate skiers more vertical without the steeps.

The map itself, hand-painted by ski artist Rad Smith, shows the expanded geography in his trademark aerial style. His illustrations have become collectibles among ski enthusiasts, and this version captures how dramatically Deer Valley’s footprint has grown.

“This year’s map captures a significant moment in Deer Valley’s history,” said Susie English, the resort’s vice president of marketing. “With more lifts, more runs, and a greatly expanded footprint, it reflects how far we’ve come in realizing our vision to elevate the Deer Valley experience while still maintaining the character and care that define our resort.”

The expansion continues through at least 2026-27, when Hail Peak terrain is scheduled to open. South Peak development follows in later phases, though timelines remain fluid.

For now, the map provides the first complete picture of what this winter looks like — and a preview of how much larger Deer Valley will eventually become.
