How to Access Deer Valley's Expanded Terrain from Lower Deer Valley?

Stay in Lower Deer Valley for it's favorable elevation, walking proximity to Park City's vibrant restaurants, retail, and night life, then bounce over to the new East Village expanded terrain during the day for miles of extended adventure. As a large, ongoing development, access to Deer Valley's new East Village expanded terrain from the Lower Deer Valley Snow Park Lodge area has been and will continue to be a multi-phase, multi-year project.  The expansion underlines Deer Valley's true strength and commitment to recreational excellence, state-of-the-art technology, thoughtful design, and a continued focus on the absolute best guest experiences. On this page we provide updates on what we know so far about how to access the new East Village terrain from the existing resort, just up Deer Valley Drive from our Rossie Hill townhome.

Access from Rossie Hill via On-Mountain Lifts

Access to the new expanded terrain is easy. The new East Village terrain is being integrated into the existing mountain, directly adjacent to the existing terrain. Depending on your physical abilities and adventurous spirit, there are multiple paths/methods for accessing the new East Village terrain from Lower Deer Valley.

As of this writing, all of the preferred paths seem to involve traversing through the Silver Lake Lodge area, either via ski lift, OR via public transportation.  By catching the bus at the stop located a few hundred from our townhome's front door, you can simply catch the next bus headed up to Silver Lake Lodge, and then head on over to the East Village on skis.

The Most Direct Route for Accessing East Village Terrain

As the crow flies, the most direct way to get to the new Deer Valley East Village expanded terrain from Rossie Hill & Snow Park Lodge is by using a combination of existing and new lifts. Due to ongoing construction, always double-check the on-mountain way-finding signage. Directionally speaking, from the Rossie Hill townhouse, the new East Village expanded terrain is located just over the ridge in the direction just beyond the the St. Regis in the Snow Park Base. Just catch a lift up to Silver Lake and make a left.

Existing Connection: The key connection point between the East Village expansion and the rest of Deer Valley's terrain is the area around the Sultan Express lift on Bald Mountain. The new Keetley Express lift from the East Village base area brings skiers up to this area, allowing them to traverse over to the rest of the resort's lifts and runs.

Traversing: To get to the expanded terrain, you would generally ski down from the Snow Park area towards the lifts that access Bald Mountain and Sultan Express. Once at the top of Sultan, you can access the new terrain by following designated runs and signs.

New East Village Gondola:

.The new 10-passenger East Village Express Gondola will provide a mid-mountain connection to Park Peak, adding another way to access the new terrain.

Long-Term Plans

Deer Valley's "Expanded Excellence" plan is a multi-year project with more access points and lifts being added in future seasons. While the Keetley Express is the initial key to the expansion, future plans include a new 10-person gondola from the East Village that will provide a more direct and efficient connection to Park Peak and the new terrain. This will likely alleviate the bottleneck that was initially experienced at the Sultan Express.

Sultan Express appears to be the primary way to connect between the older terrain and East Village. The run from Sultan to East Village can be narrow with a sharp turn, so pay attention to the route. 

Transportation and Shuttles

It's also important to note that the new East Village provides a new base area with its own parking and skier services, offering an alternative way to access the mountain that bypasses Park City's traffic. This is an option if you prefer to begin your ski day over at that new base, and if you have your own vehicle to get there.  There is ljkely a free High Valley Transit bus route that connects the new East Village with Park City, but as of this writing, the details are yet to be confirmed.
