Frequently asked questions about Deer Valley

Where is Deer Valley?

Deer Valley is in Utah, United States, with the base at 1990 m and the top at 2917 m.

When does Deer Valley open?

Deer Valley has announced that it opens on December 5, 2026 for the 2026/27 season. The date is published by deervalley.com, and the resort can still move it if the snow does not arrive; whatever date is current is kept at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/deer-valley.

When does Deer Valley close?

Deer Valley is expected to close for the 2026/27 season on April 12, 2027. The real date depends on how the snow holds up at the top (2917 m) late in the season, and the resort usually announces it only a few weeks ahead: the up-to-date version is at https://www.caranva.app/en/esqui/fechas-apertura/deer-valley.

How much snow is there in Deer Valley and are the lifts open?

It changes daily and the resort itself publishes it every morning: snow depth by altitude, open runs and open lifts. The Deer Valley daily report and forecast are at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/usa/deer-valley, and the live cameras at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/deer-valley. When it blows hard, the most exposed lifts are usually the upper ones (2917 m), so it is worth checking before driving up.

At what altitude do you ski in Deer Valley?

Between 1990 and 2917 metres, a vertical drop of 927 m. That difference is why the snow is not the same across the whole resort on the same day: the upper slopes hold up better late in the season, while the lower part, at 1990 m, is the first to feel rain or warm weather. That is why the Deer Valley report is read by altitude band, at https://www.caranva.app/en/nieve/usa/deer-valley.

How much skiable terrain does Deer Valley have?

4,300 acres of skiable terrain, 202 runs and 31 lifts, between 1990 and 2917 m. North America measures its size in acres rather than kilometres of piste, and that is the figure the resort itself publishes in its fact sheet.

Where can I rent skis in Deer Valley?

On Caranva you book the full kit for Deer Valley — skis, boots and poles, or a snowboard if you prefer — at https://www.caranva.app/en/shop/esqui/deer-valley: you pick the dates and give your height, weight, shoe size and level, and the gear is waiting assembled with the bindings set to those figures. You pay online, you skip the sizing counter, and you can swap the gear in the shop if something does not fit. The alternative is walking into a shop at the resort on a first-come basis, which over a bank holiday or at Christmas means queuing for whatever is left.

Yes. The live Deer Valley webcams, with piste conditions and the snow report, are at https://www.caranva.app/en/webcams/esqui/deer-valley.

Which ski resorts are near Deer Valley?

In the same valley or the next one: Park City (7,300 acres, up to 3056 m). Comparing their top altitudes helps when snowfall is scarce: the ones that top out higher tend to open earlier and hold on longer at the end of the season.
