This season Deer Valley Resort has added the Super Senior (72+), Midweek Senior and Young Adult (18-23) passes.  Pre-season rates apply through October 31, 2012. 

Deer Valley Resort has been very busy this summer season, investing over $8 million in improvements.  The most noteworthy upgrade is the replacement of the Deer Crest chairlift on Little Baldy Mountain with a high-speed detachable quad lift to be named Mountaineer Express, which will increase the uphill skier capacity by 1,200 skiers per hour.

Other improvements include remodeling the Snow Park Restaurant, replacing the wooden deck at Empire Canyon Lodge with heated pavers, expanding snowmaking capabilities to include more terrain in Empire Canyon and purchasing additional low-energy, air-water guns and five additional Prinoth Snowcats, including one Beast Groomer.  It should be a great year, so think snow!
