PARK CITY, Utah — Deer Valley Resort will officially open its 2025-26 ski season Saturday, December 6 at 9 a.m.

An early-week storm cycle combined with sustained cold temperatures over the weekend allowed the resort’s mountain operations, snowmaking and grooming teams to make significant progress.

“This year’s opening carries special meaning as we celebrate our 45th winter season and continue advancing one of the most historic periods of growth in Deer Valley’s history,” said Todd Bennett, President & COO of Deer Valley. “Our teams have worked around the clock to prepare the mountain, and their dedication ensures we are ready to welcome guests back with the exceptional experience they expect from Deer Valley.”
