Eagle Point
Overview
Eagle Point runs on a schedule most Utah resorts don’t bother with: lifts open Friday through Monday only, a deliberate choice the resort frames as letting snow pile up mid-week so weekend skiers hit fresher conditions. When it pays off, the resort calls it Powder Friday, with lift lines typically spinning by 10:30 a.m. that morning. That quirk sits alongside a more conventional set of numbers: a 379.3-meter vertical drop from a 2,843-meter base to a 3,222.3-meter summit in the Tushar Mountains, adjacent to Fishlake National Forest in southern Utah.
Five lifts, one platter and four chairlifts, cover 45 mapped runs across 23.63 kilometers of total trail. Intermediate terrain carries the map at 13.67 kilometers, well over half the resort’s total distance, with 5.64 kilometers rated advanced and 4.32 kilometers easy. There’s no expert or novice category recorded here, a narrower three-tier spread than some larger resorts offer, but one that still gives a returning intermediate skier plenty of room to work.
Both the Indy Base Pass and Indy+ Pass count Eagle Point among their partner resorts, each worth two tickets per season, with blackout dates applying only to the Base tier. Beyond lift access, the resort runs a real estate arm alongside its ski operation, offering ski-in/ski-out condos, home lots, and custom-build options, plus on-site dining through Skyline Lodge and Canyonside Bar, positioning it as much as a residential mountain community as a day-ski destination.
Reaching Eagle Point takes some driving no matter the direction. Cedar City Regional Airport is the nearest air option at 93.6 kilometers, well ahead of St George and Page, both over 170 kilometers out, while Salt Lake City International sits 276.4 kilometers away as the resort’s wider gateway. On the ground, Provo is the closest larger Utah city at 221.4 kilometers, with West Jordan and West Valley City both beyond 250 kilometers, underscoring that this is a resort built for a dedicated trip rather than a quick day drive from the Wasatch Front.
Eagle Point’s own trail map is published as a downloadable PDF rather than a simple image file, and the mountain is separately documented on both skimap.org and OpenSkiMap, each matching the forty-five-run, five-lift network described above. That count works out to nine mapped runs for every lift, a notably high ratio pointing to lifts that each open onto a wide fan of named trails rather than one dedicated line apiece, consistent with a compact base feeding into broader advanced and intermediate terrain higher on the mountain. Paired with the Friday-through-Monday operating schedule, that same ratio also means any given open lift serves a comparatively large stretch of terrain relative to the number of skiers likely on it, part of what the resort leans on when promoting fresh conditions each Powder Friday.

FAQ
- What is 'Powder Friday' at Eagle Point?
- It is the resort's term for the days when weekend snow accumulation from its Friday-through-Monday operating schedule pays off with fresh, untracked conditions, with lifts typically starting at 10:30 a.m. on those Fridays. The resort announces the designation directly through its own channels whenever conditions qualify, rather than applying it as a blanket marketing label to every Friday.
- Why does Eagle Point operate only part of the week?
- Running lifts Friday through Monday rather than daily lets snow build up mid-week undisturbed, a scheduling choice the resort's own site frames as a deliberate trade for better powder on operating days. It's an unusual model among the resorts covered here, most of which run daily service, and it means visitors need to plan trips around the four-day window rather than a standard seven-day week.
- How big is Eagle Point's ski terrain?
- A 379.3-meter vertical drop runs from a 2,843-meter base to a 3,222.3-meter summit, with 45 mapped runs covering 23.63 kilometers, served by five lifts including one platter and four chairlifts. That comes to nine mapped runs for every lift, a notably high ratio suggesting each lift opens onto a wide fan of named trails.
- Is Eagle Point suited to intermediate skiers?
- Intermediate terrain accounts for 13.67 of the resort's 23.63 total kilometers, well over half, with 5.64 kilometers advanced and 4.32 kilometers easy filling out the rest of the map. There's no separate expert or novice category recorded, so the mountain reads as built around three clear tiers rather than a wide spread of difficulty grades.
- Can I use a multi-resort pass at Eagle Point?
- Yes, both the Indy Base Pass and Indy+ Pass list Eagle Point as a partner, each granting two tickets per season, with only the Base tier subject to blackout dates. That dual listing gives holders of either card a way to combine a visit here with stops at other partner resorts on the same multi-mountain pass.
- Where is Eagle Point located relative to major Utah cities?
- The resort sits in the Tushar Mountains near Beaver, Utah, more than three hours from Salt Lake City by the resort's own estimate, with Provo the closest listed larger city at 221.4 kilometers. West Jordan and West Valley City follow at over 250 kilometers, placing the resort well outside easy day-trip range of the state's largest population centers.
- What is the nearest airport to Eagle Point?
- Cedar City Regional Airport is nearest at 93.6 kilometers, while Salt Lake City International, 276.4 kilometers out, serves as the resort's broader air gateway. St George Regional and Page Municipal sit further still, at 174.3 and 175.7 kilometers, making Cedar City the clear choice for the shortest final drive.
- Is there lodging directly at Eagle Point?
- The resort offers ski-in/ski-out condos alongside a real estate program of home lots and custom builds, plus on-site dining at Skyline Lodge and Canyonside Bar. That combination of residential development and slope-side dining sets it apart from resorts that operate purely as day-ski areas without an on-site village.
