Eagle Point Ski Resort

Eagle Point is tucked into the Tushar Mountains of southern Utah, offering a high-elevation ski experience just outside the town of Beaver. With a base elevation of 9100 feet and a summit reaching 10,600 feet, the resort benefits from consistent snowfall—averaging 198 inches annually—and crisp mountain air that keeps conditions fresh throughout the season. Snowmaking covers key trails to ensure reliable coverage even during dry spells.

The resort spans 650 acres of skiable terrain, with 43 trails served by 5 lifts including quad, triple, double, and surface options. Trail difficulty is well-balanced: 23% beginner, 30% intermediate, 28% advanced, and 19% expert. Families will appreciate the dedicated learning zones, terrain park with 14 rails, and laid-back atmosphere that makes navigating the mountain easy and enjoyable. The resort also offers tubing and snow play areas for non-skiers.

What makes Eagle Point unique is its blend of solitude and scenery. Visitors choose Eagle Point for its uncrowded slopes, dramatic alpine views, and the ability to ski at their own pace. Whether you're carving groomers, exploring tree-lined ridges, or relaxing slope-side with family, Eagle Point delivers a refreshing alternative to larger, busier resorts.

The closest airport to Eagle Point is Cedar City Regional Airport (CDC), located about 90 minutes away by car. For more flight options, Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) is approximately 3.5 hours north. From either airport, visitors can rent a car and follow scenic highways through southern Utah’s high desert and mountain passes. The resort is accessible via UT-153, which winds up from Beaver and offers stunning views along the way.

Eagle Point offers free parking at the resort base and convenient access to lifts from most lodging areas. While there’s no public shuttle system, ride-sharing and private transfers are available from Beaver. Ski-in/ski-out lodging is available in select units, and the resort’s compact layout means you’re never far from the action. Snowcat tours are occasionally offered for special events, adding a touch of adventure to your arrival.

Eagle Point’s terrain is spread across 650 acres, with 43 trails and a vertical drop of 1500 feet. The mountain is divided into two main zones: Lookout and Skyline. Lookout offers steeper terrain and advanced runs, while Skyline caters to beginners and intermediates with wide groomers and gentle slopes. The resort’s elevation and north-facing aspects help preserve snow quality, even late into the season.

Beginners will feel comfortable in the Skyline area, where trails like Monarch and Aspen are mellow and well-groomed. These runs are served by surface lifts and slower chairs, making them ideal for learning and building confidence. The resort also offers a dedicated learning zone near the base lodge, with ski school programs and easy access to rentals.

Intermediate skiers will enjoy cruising down trails like Big Horn and Coyote, which offer consistent pitch and scenic views of the surrounding peaks. These runs are accessible via the Skyline and Monarch lifts, and provide a great mix of speed and control. The terrain here is perfect for families looking to explore together.

Advanced skiers can head to the Lookout area, where runs like Tunnel Vision and Black Diamond deliver steeper descents and natural features. These trails are often groomed but retain enough challenge to keep things exciting. Tree skiing is available in select areas, offering a more technical experience.

Expert skiers will find their challenge on trails like Upper Lookout and Vertigo, which feature tight chutes, steep drops, and variable snow conditions. These runs are less trafficked and reward those willing to explore. While avalanche control is in place, caution is advised in off-piste zones.

Eagle Point also features one terrain park located near the Skyline base, with 14 rails and a rotating selection of jumps and boxes. The park is designed for progression, offering features for all skill levels. Whether you're practicing your first slide or dialing in a trick, the park adds a freestyle element to the resort’s offerings.

If you're chasing powder, start your day on Tunnel Vision. This run holds snow longer than most and sees less traffic early in the morning. The trees adjacent to the trail also stash fresh turns well into the afternoon.

Midweek visits are ideal—especially Tuesdays and Thursdays. You’ll find quieter slopes and more room to explore trails like Big Horn and Monarch without waiting in lift lines. Arrive early to catch first chair on the Skyline lift for freshly groomed runs.

For a peaceful warm-up, take a lap on Aspen. It’s a gentle trail with wide turns and great views, perfect for easing into the day or helping newer skiers get comfortable. It’s also a great spot for families to regroup between runs.

Don’t miss the overlook at the top of Lookout lift. On clear days, you’ll see across the Tushar Mountains and deep into Fishlake National Forest. It’s worth pausing before dropping into Upper Lookout or Vertigo to take in the scenery.

Families should base themselves near the Skyline Lodge. It’s close to beginner terrain, rentals, and the tubing hill. The lodge also offers indoor seating and food options, making it a convenient hub for mixed-ability groups.

For après-ski, head to the Canyonside Lodge. It’s the resort’s official spot for drinks, live music, and casual dining. The outdoor deck is a favorite for sunset views, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.

Want to ride park features without the pressure? Visit the terrain park near Monarch lift. It’s designed for progression, with small rails and boxes that are perfect for building confidence. The layout encourages creativity without the intimidation of larger parks.

If you're staying in Beaver, take advantage of the resort’s parking perks. Arrive early and park near the Skyline base for direct lift access. The lot fills quickly on weekends, so weekday visits offer a smoother experience.

On storm days, skip the summit and ski the lower trails near Coyote and Big Horn. Visibility is better, and the snow stacks up nicely in the trees. These areas are often overlooked but deliver great turns when the weather rolls in.

Finally, for a unique experience, book a private snowcat tour during one of the resort’s special event weekends. You’ll access terrain not served by lifts and enjoy a guided adventure with panoramic views. It’s one of Eagle Point’s most memorable offerings—and a great way to cap off your trip.
