(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) People hit the slopes at Deer Valley on Friday, Dec. 12, 2019. Deer Valley plans to open earlier than scheduled this season, just the second time in the resort's 41-year history that it has moved its opening date and started the ski season in November. It was set to open Dec. 4 but will now start lifts turning Nov. 29 for passholders and Nov. 30 for the general public.
