Deer Valley Resort has been purchased for an undisclosed price by a new ski company whose prolific growth this year has made it big enough to rival Vail Resorts.
Expected to take effect before next ski season, the sale announced Monday makes Deer Valley part of a joint venture whose resorts already include Squaw Valley, Alpine Meadows and Mammoth Mountain in California, and Steamboat and Winter Park in Colorado. Back East, it has Stratton Mountain Resort in Vermont and resorts in Quebec, Ontario and West Virginia.
Solitude Mountain Resort, which Deer Valley bought in 2015, is not part of the deal, a Deer Valley statement said.
