That's our "rush hour". If you are on the road then, you may take a good 30 minutes. Snow-wise, that side of the mountains is low enough that the snow goes quickly. Hopefully DV is going to put a lot of snowmaking over there.
As a local, not looking forward to the East Village opening. We're crowded enough as it is in our little town! One thing - be sure to buy your lift tickets in advance!!! The time around Presidents' is a time that DV sells out.
No guaranteed lift tickets for hotel guests? That would be harsh.
Edit:
If I book lodging at Deer Valley, does that guarantee I will receive lift tickets to ski Deer Valley?
A lodging reservation does not guarantee lift tickets. If you have not purchased a package with lift tickets included, we recommend booking your lift tickets in advance online at
Harsh, indeed.
