Labor
Day kicks off autumn in the mountains.
Fall in the Wasatch Back is painted not
just with the hues of falling leaves,
but also the vibrant energy of events
like Swiss Days, Miner's Day, and
Howl-O-Ween.
While you mark your calendars, remember
that dates and details might shift due
to weather or unforeseen factors. We've
provided links to keep you updated. Hope
to see you around at one of these great
fall events!

Deer
Valley Resorts made a public
statement on Thursday, August 24th,
that they have reached a long-term
operations agreement with
Extell Development Company to
manage the area that
was previously set to be known
as Mayflower Resort. This
partnership has the potential to
offer skiers access to as many as
5,726 acres of ski
terrain. This figure is nearly
triple the current size of Deer
Valley, which stands at 2,026 acres
and would make it one of the largest
ski areas in North
America.

MAJOR
TERRAIN
EXPANSION
Here
are the new
additions:
-
16
chairlifts
-
135
ski runs
-
4
mountains
-
3,700
acres
-
New
Village and
Portal
-

Park Base
Transformation

|
|
|
The
two skiing venues will merge under
the Deer Valley brand. Enthusiasts
will have the opportunity to ski
across all areas using a single
pass. This includes the Ikon Pass
offered by Alterra. At present, Ikon
Pass or Ikon Base Pass Plus users
can spend a maximum of seven days
skiing at Deer Valley after booking
in advance. The extended skiing
landscape will be exclusive to
skiers. Once this new skiing terrain
is fully operational, Deer Valley
foresees having 37 lifts that cover
135 slopes over 3,700
acres.

Summit
County has approved the purchase of
approximately 9,000 acres
near Jeremy Ranch in East
Canyon, representing
its most significant open space
acquisition to date. The $55 million
agreement for the 910 Cattle Ranch
includes a four-year option and a
monthly lease. Funds will come
partly from a $50 million open space
bond approved in November
2021.
The
parcel's southern boundary
connects to the 24-7 Trail and
the Flying Dog Loop, potentially
enabling spur or connector
trails. To the north,
it neighbors East Canyon State Park
and is close to the Mormon Pioneer
Trail.
