The Overview
Michael Fulton
Melbourne-based skier and snowboarder with 50+ resorts across 5 continents. Specialises in Australian resorts and international resort comparisons.
Eagle Point operates 650 acres of skiable terrain across 40 named runs, with a base elevation of 2,774 metres and summit at 3,231 metres, delivering 457 metres of vertical drop in Utah's Tushar Mountains. The resort averages 350 to 400 inches of annual snowfall depending on conditions, with a high base elevation that preserves snow quality throughout winter. Children aged 12 and under ski free, and the resort is included as a two-day partner on the Indy Pass with no blackout dates.
Terrain divides cleanly into two zones connected by a mid-mountain tunnel under Highway 153: the Skyline side hosts 20 per cent beginner and 35 per cent intermediate trails, whilst the Canyonside sector delivers 45 per cent advanced terrain with steep, north-facing powder-filled glades. Named runs include Big Horn and Belknap Bowl for beginners, whilst advanced skiers seek out Donner's Descent, Missing Linc and Miles' Meteor. The terrain park sits near the Monarch Triple Chair, and five backcountry access gates open to adjacent Fishlake National Forest terrain.
The independently owned resort maintains a deliberately uncrowded atmosphere with minimal lift queues and a local, family-oriented vibe. Two distinct base lodges serve the mountain: Skyline Lodge anchors beginner terrain with a cafeteria, rental shop and ski school, whilst the 1,115-square-metre Canyonside Lodge offers sit-down dining, a full bar and access to advanced runs. Most of the resort's 120 condos and cabins provide ski-in ski-out access, creating a compact village atmosphere without high-rise development.
Eagle Point operates a Friday-to-Monday schedule for most of the season, closing Tuesday through Thursday to allow midweek snowfall to accumulate untouched, resulting in the resort's signature Powder Fridays. The 2025-26 season runs daily from 20 December through 4 January, then reverts to weekend operations through mid-March. Adult daily tickets range from 89 to 109 US dollars, season passes start at 799 dollars, and the resort suits families, budget-conscious skiers and anyone seeking an alternative to crowded Wasatch Front destinations.

When to visit Eagle Point
The 2025-26 season opened on 20 December 2025 and was scheduled to close on 15 March 2026, though final dates vary based on conditions. Eagle Point operates daily during the Christmas and New Year period through 4 January, then shifts to Friday-Monday operations through late February, and Friday-Sunday operations for the final season weeks. This unique schedule allows powder to accumulate during closed weekdays, creating the resort's signature Powder Fridays when fresh tracks remain available well into the afternoon.
Annual snowfall averages vary by source, with the resort advertising 350-plus inches whilst independent trackers report 190 to 198 inches. The high base elevation of 2,774 metres and south-central Utah location deliver cold, dry snow quality even when accumulation totals lag behind northern Utah resorts. Snowmaking covers key runs on the Skyline side, allowing the beginner and intermediate terrain to open reliably by mid-December, whilst advanced runs off the Lookout Quad can require several weeks to fill in and typically reach full operation by mid-January.
January through February represents prime season for consistent snow conditions and cold temperatures, whilst March brings spring softening and longer daylight hours. The Friday-Monday operating schedule concentrates crowds into four-day windows, though the resort maintains a noticeably uncrowded feel compared to Wasatch destinations. The 2025-26 season saw below-average snowfall, receiving only 113 inches before closing early on 15 March due to warm weather and deteriorating conditions.
Weekend programming includes live music and DJ performances at Canyonside Lodge, and the resort hosts Powder Friday events when significant midweek storms deliver fresh snow. The resort does not offer night skiing, with final chair loading at 4:30 pm on Fridays and Mondays and 9:30 am openings on Saturdays, Sundays and designated Powder Fridays. Summer operations from June through September offer mountain biking, hiking, disc golf and special events including the Crusher in the Tushar bike race.

Getting there
Getting to Eagle Point, and where to stay
Eagle Point sits 18 miles east of Beaver, Utah, in the Tushar Mountains, the third-highest range in Utah, surrounded by Fishlake National Forest at a base elevation of 2,774 metres. The resort occupies a remote position in south-central Utah, equidistant from Las Vegas and Salt Lake City at approximately 3.5 hours' drive from each. Highway 153, known as the Beaver Canyon Scenic Byway, climbs 914 metres over 29 kilometres from downtown Beaver to the resort, winding through aspen and conifer forests.
The town of Beaver, population 3,000, serves as the primary supply point 30 minutes downhill, offering grocery stores, fuel stations, budget hotels and dining including The Creamery, known for locally sourced dairy products and ice cream. St George lies two hours southwest, Cedar City sits 87 kilometres south, and Brian Head Resort is located 74 kilometres away. The resort's isolated location delivers proximity to Zion National Park (2.5 hours to Springdale entrance), Bryce Canyon and other southern Utah attractions, making it a viable base for combining skiing with national park touring.
Interstate 15 provides the primary north-south corridor, with exit 109 or 112 at Beaver leading directly to Highway 153. From Salt Lake City, the drive follows I-15 south for 320 kilometres, then climbs Highway 153 for 29 kilometres. From Las Vegas, drivers take I-15 north through Mesquite and St George, totalling approximately four hours. Southern California and Phoenix visitors can reach the resort in six to eight hours via I-15.
Cedar City Regional Airport sits 87 kilometres southwest of Beaver, offering the nearest commercial flights with limited Delta service. Salt Lake City International Airport, 370 kilometres north, provides the primary air gateway with comprehensive domestic connections. St George Municipal Airport lies 157 kilometres south. St George Shuttle operates daily service from Las Vegas airport to Beaver, and Tucker High Adventure Tours runs 4x4 shuttles from Beaver to the resort for 15 to 20 US dollars, though most visitors require personal vehicles due to limited public transport options.

Thredbo Is 'On the Table' as EVT Reviews Its Whole Business
Thredbo is officially 'on the table.' EVT Limited, owner of Australia's most decorated ski resort, has hired Rothschild & Co to review its entire corporate structure - and confirmed Thredbo isn't off limits, even as it books a stronger year of earnings. The resort's own valuation has nearly halved after a brutal 2026 season, and speculation is already running toward Vail Resorts, Alterra, or a New Zealand operator picking it up. Here's what EVT actually said, and who could buy it.

Ski-E-O! Is the Ski Resort Tycoon Game We Didn't Know We Needed
I'm not a gamer. I'm a skier and snowboarder who happens to have a laptop. So when a ski resort management game called Ski-E-O! landed on Steam, I wasn't expecting to lose an afternoon to it - but here we are. Real mountain terrain, a full weather system, storms that roll in and wreck your snow base, avalanche danger, and enough depth to make RollerCoaster Tycoon feel simple by comparison. Early access lands in November. Here's what a few hours in the free demo actually looks like.

Sugar Bowl, California, Rebuilds Its Historic Village Gondola
The rumours are true: Sugar Bowl is tearing out its Emerald gondola, in place since 1983, and replacing it with a new 8-person Doppelmayr system - nearly doubling uphill capacity to 1,800 people an hour. It's the fourth generation of a gondola line that dates back to 1953, when Sugar Bowl became the first resort on the West Coast to run one at all, and it's just one piece of a $100 million overhaul touching lodges, parking and snowmaking. Here's what's changing, and what's staying the same.

Two Confirmed Dead as Search Continues After Swiss Alps Fire
The death toll from Thursday night's fire at Restaurant Beverin in Thusis, Switzerland, has begun to firm up. One Swiss outlet, citing Graubünden Cantonal Police, reports that two of the five people initially reported missing have now been confirmed dead, leaving three unaccounted for. The building's collapsed stairwell and structural instability have slowed recovery efforts throughout. Here's what's changed since the fire broke out, and what's still unconfirmed.

Selwyn Snow Resort Closes Early as Rain Ends Its 2026 Season
Selwyn Snow Resort has called an early end to its 2026 season, a day after Victoria's Mount Baw Baw did the same. Rain on Thursday stripped what was left of the snowpack, and the cold nights needed to rebuild it through snowmaking never arrived. It's a rough result for a resort that only just found its footing again after being burned to the ground in the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires and a multi-year rebuild. Here's how the season fell apart, and where Selwyn's been since the fire.

Mt Baw Baw Becomes First Australian Resort to Close for 2026
Mt Baw Baw is calling time on its 2026 season this Sunday at 5pm, becoming the first Australian resort to close for the year after warm spells and rain wore through its snowpack. Lifts stop, but the resort stays open, entry fees get waived, and there's one last Bollywood Weekend before the lights go out. Fifty-seven days after opening, here's how the season ended and what it means for the rest of Australia's struggling snowpack.

Arosa to Replace 40-Year-Old Hörnli Lifts With New Gondola and Chair
Arosa's Hörnli sector is getting its biggest overhaul in decades. The 1986 gondola and 1994 chairlift linking toward Lenzerheide are both being replaced, with capacity up, tower count down and a new base station lower on the hill. At roughly CHF 67 million, it is the largest single investment Arosa Bergbahnen has ever made - and the target opening has already slipped a year, to December 2028. Here is what is changing, and why the timeline moved.

Sundance Mountain Resort Is Getting a New High-Speed Quad and More Back Mountain Terrain This Winter
Sundance Mountain Resort's back mountain is finally getting a proper lift. The Electric Horseman Express opens for 2026-27, unlocking a new bowl next to Bishop's Bowl and three expert gladed chutes across roughly 105 fresh acres - on top of the Storyteller ridge run that debuted in preview form last season. It's Sundance's biggest expansion since 1985, and it turns a three-lift slog into a single six-minute ride to Bearclaw Summit.
