Local updatesDeer Valley · Deer Crest
Deer Valley published its 2026-27 trail map on November 5, 2026. The change at the east base is Hail Peak Express, a new lift from Deer Valley East Village to Hail Peak. The resort says the lift adds seven runs and 200 acres on the easternmost edge of the map. Park Record reported the map that day. The resort release is the same announcement.
What the lift is
Hail Peak Express has 86 chairs and a stated capacity of 2,400 people an hour, over a 1,130-foot vertical rise. One of the seven runs is named Hill Yeah. The 2026-27 mountain stats on that release list 209 runs, 4,500 skiable acres, 932 acres of snowmaking, and 32 aerial lifts. Those figures are the whole resort, not one neighborhood. The release also lists a Deer Valley East Village gondola among lifts added since December 2024. Hail Peak Express is the lift this winter's map adds from that base up to Hail Peak.
What the map does not change
The lift leaves from the East Village base. It is not a door at Snow Park, Silver Lake, or Empire Pass. Deer Crest is the gated community up the hill from that base, on its own plats. A trail map does not make a residence ski-in/ski-out. Walk the path from the door. The resort plans to open to the public on December 5, 2026, conditions permitting. Snow can move that date.
The same resort site describes an Expanded Excellence buildout toward 5,726 acres. That number is the project. The season stats on the November 5 release are 4,500 skiable acres. Do not quote the buildout as open terrain this winter.
Area prices through September 30, 2026 are on the Deer Valley real estate page. The wider Board release is the October market update. To talk through one address, use the contact page.
The cover is snowy slopes and evergreens at Deer Valley. It is the mountain, not Hail Peak, and not a house for sale.
Questions
Does Hail Peak Express serve Snow Park or Silver Lake?
No. Deer Valley says the lift carries skiers from Deer Valley East Village to Hail Peak. Snow Park, Silver Lake, Empire Pass, and Deer Crest are different places on the mountain. A trail map does not make a residence ski-in/ski-out.
When does Deer Valley plan to open for 2026-27?
The resort's November 5, 2026 release says December 5, 2026, conditions permitting. That date can move with snow.
