Eagle Point Overview

Perched high upon a stunning location in the Tushar Mountains, Eagle Point Resort in Beaver is southern Utah’s newest ski and snowboard resort. Considered a perfect getaway from the crowded slopes and high prices of the mega-resorts, Eagle Point is a scenic 17-mile drive from downtown Beaver via Route 153,  a 3.5 hour drive from Salt Lake City. The independently owned resort averages 400 inches of the Greatest Snow on Earth ™ each year, across 650 skiable acres and over 1500 vertical feet, including some of the steepest lift serviced terrain in Utah. In 2017, the resort once again received the prestigious TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence based on consistently great reviews earned on TripAdvisor.com.

A full-service resort, Eagle Point offers PSI-AASI certified instructors, children's programs, and a full fleet of rental and demo equipment. Trained technicians are on staff for quick tunes or equipment repairs.
