Deer Valley Resort
Big changes will debut at Deer Valley this upcoming ski season! The resort is set to open the largest expansion in its history, which includes 7 new lifts and more than 80 ski runs. The new infrastructure means that Deer Valley will have added 10 new lifts and 100 new ski runs since December of last year, transforming the East Village area into a world-class ski destination. The new terrain in the East Village will also be served by a state of the art snowmaking system, and additional parking has been added to allow for easy access. |

Park City Mountain Resort
Park City Mountain has been busy wrapping up the new 10-person Sunrise Gondola, which is set to debut on opening day this year. The gondola replaces the Sunrise chairlift, providing faster, smoother, more reliable access (less wind delays) from Canyons Village to the Red Pine area. The base terminal is conveniently located near Pendry Park City and Lift Park City Condominiums. Elsewhere, the Red Pine Learning Zone has been upgraded with a new magic carpet and an improved lunchroom. And on the other side of the mountain the Summit House Lodge will feature a refreshed design.
Woodward
Woodward is introducing a new Mountain Park Season Pass, providing seasonal access for skiing, snowboarding, and mountain biking in both winter and summer. This pass replaces the previous month-to-month Mountain Park membership.
Sundance
Sundance will debut 60 acres of new terrain in their Far East expansion for the 2025–26 ski season, adding nine trails with tree runs, chutes, and a groomed intermediate run. The new area, accessible via Red’s Lift, marks the first phase of a larger 165-acre project. A high-speed quad, the Electric Horseman Express, is slated to open in the 2026–27 season. |

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) recently released their seasonal outlook for this coming winter, and it looks like here in northern Utah we will be caught in the middle of the impacts of the La Niña pattern that is forecast to unfold in the coming months. In general, La Niña pushes the jetstream to the north, leading to cooler and wetter conditions across the norhern US, and milder and drier conditions across the southern US. Since we are in the middle, the forecast shows that it could go either way for us. Keep in mind that even below-average winters here are still measured in hundreds of inches of snow, so there really are no bad winters here in the Wasatch.
