Between a historic on-mountain expansion, brand-new lifts and gondola access, and a wave of exciting dining openings, there are so many reasons to get to Deer Valley this winter. If you’ve been waiting for the perfect winter to plan a Park City getaway, this is it.
Deer Valley’s multi-year project comes to life this ski season with a whopping ~80 new ski runs and seven new chairlifts—plus the new 10-passenger East Village Express gondola linking the East Village to Park Peak. This transformational expansion at Deer Valley more than doubles the skiable terrain to 4,300+ acres, reshaping how (and where) you explore the mountain.
Last winter, Deer Valley saw the debut of Green Monster, an approachable, green run stretching about 4.8 miles from Park Peak toward Deer Valley's East Village. It’s a crowd-pleasing cruiser run and a brag-worthy bucket-list lap for every level!
With fresh lifts, expanded beginner-to-intermediate terrain, and new base amenities, East Village changes the morning routine—faster load times, more choices for families, and easy laps to build confidence before tackling the rest of the mountain. (More dining and retail are phasing in, too.)
You'll definitely want to make time for post-ski apres, a morning coffee date, or a dressed up dinner with these great new dining options at the Grand Hyatt:
-
Remington Hall (rustic-elegant American fare, dinner reservations recommended)
-
The Lounge at Remington Hall (après bites + cocktails in a cozy setting)
-
Hidden Ace (speakeasy-style bar)
-
The Living Room (cozy lobby spot; don’t miss the family “High Chocolate”)
- Double Blacks (coffee/pastries)
Over by Empire Canyon Lodge, Chute Eleven is the luxe, ski-in champagne yurt you didn’t know you needed—caviar service, DJs, charcuterie, and plush seating for a high-end après interlude between laps.
Off-mountain, Park City has added two new buzzworthy Australia-inspired concepts from the Five5eeds team:
-
Matilda (Snow Park area): pizza + creative small plates in a lively room.
-
Tilly’s Charcoal Chicken (Kimball Junction): charcoal-roasted chicken with quick, family-friendly sides—a perfect takeout option or casual dinner after a ski day.
On a rest day, roll over to Ballerina Farm’s new store in charming Midway (a 15 minute drive from Deer Valley) for baked goods, fun gifts, and farm-fresh treats—great for stocking your vacation rental fridge.
