Summers said the trail follows in the style of the others that Deer Valley has designed in conjunction with professional trail building company Gravity Logic, such as Holy Roller, Tidal Wave and Tsunami.

For dining, Royal Street Café will also open the season starting Friday. Season passes for mountain bikers and lift rates for scenic rides are still regular price.

For now, there are still feet of snow on much of Bald Mountain, and Summers said there may be some sections of the lower trail system that have snow on them. “The first couple days we are open there could be possibilities of minimal snow crossings on those trails,” she said. “It just depends on if they are in the shade. Certain turns could be less exposed. Our crews have been out there working to get those open but it’s changing day by day.” The resort will update its trail system regularly on its website at Deervalley.com and over social media. Summers said trails and lift statuses may change quickly depending on how fast the mountain heats up. “Obviously coming off a huge snow year it’s been a lot of work getting the mountain ready,” she said. “We’re excited to get our hikers and bikers up here at least on our new trail on the lower mountain. We’re excited about the warm temperatures and hopeful to open things quickly.” City Aspen Boulder Butte Colorado Springs Elko Ely Evanston Flagstaff Gallup Grand Canyon Grand Junction Gunnison Idaho Falls Jackson Hole Mesquite Missoula Ogden Page Pocatello Provo Pueblo Reno Rexburg St. George Salt Lake City Spokane Sun Valley Tahoe Twin Falls Yellowstone Wednesday Thursday Hi Lo W Hi Lo W 75 44 s 77 46 t 73 52 pc 82 57 t 78 48 pc 76 48 t 70 47 s 79 53 t 87 60 pc 82 54 pc 83 49 pc 80 47 c 73 50 s 74 49 t 84 46 s 81 43 s 88 50 s 89 49 pc 85 46 s 85 44 pc 90 60 s 93 61 pc 77 44 s 77 44 t 80 52 s 77 49 pc 72 44 s 68 44 t 108 71 pc 106 70 s 87 56 pc 83 57 t 84 61 s 84 59 c 96 68 s 98 68 pc 82 55 s 80 52 pc 83 59 s 86 57 pc 78 51 s 86 52 t 93 61 s 90 60 pc 79 53 s 77 52 t 102 71 s 102 68 s 86 63 s 86 62 pc 87 63 pc 89 59 pc 77 53 s 74 50 t 81 46 t 77 44 s 85 59 s 81 57 pc 63 40 pc 58 38 t Interstate 80: No weather-related travel issues are expected on Wednesday with sunshine and patchy clouds.
