Summary
This welcome precipitation comes as the resort continues to contend with a below-average snowpack—currently at 18 inches, roughly 33% less than typical for this time of year. Overnight temperatures hovered just above freezing at 30.4°F, keeping conditions soft underfoot and ideal for early season cruising. While deeper powder stashes remain limited, groomers are in great shape thanks to robust snowmaking efforts bolstered by a new water deal approved last month.
Deer Valley’s long-anticipated expansion is turning heads both on and off the mountain, with the Revelator Express lift installation marking a major milestone in the resort’s transformation. The $500M project, which doubles skiable acreage and adds 17 lifts and one of the country's largest gondolas, is positioning the resort among the best in the nation for the 2025/26 season. New terrain will be phased in soon, and buzz is building around the East Village development. With the Wasatch Gravity Pass now offering dual access to Deer Valley and Solitude, and major snowfall forecasted for the weekend, the stage is set for a memorable holiday ski season.
