Beaver, Utah — With the expected historic heat wave coming to the West this week, we’re seeing a large number of early ski resort closings. This includes a Utah ski resort that’s typically known for its deep powder days.
On Saturday, Eagle Point Resort announced that its 2025-26 season would conclude on Sunday, March 15th. Eagle Point only saw 113 inches of snow this winter, and the warm weather over the past week has damaged the remaining snowpack. With limited snowmaking capacity and warm weather forecasted in the days ahead, making it to another weekend wasn’t in the cards.
This announcement follows a variety of early closures in the West. In Utah, the other notable closure is Nordic Valley, which has been closed since early March. Nordic Valley just announced an end-of-season party (presumably without lift service). Smaller Utah operations, such as Buckskin, Gateway Spanish Forks, and Gateway Salt Lake, didn’t operate at all this season. The question now is how many more in Utah and across the West will join Eagle Point by the end of this week.
About Eagle Point Resort
The ski resort features 44 trails across over 650 skiable acres with 5 lifts. Eagle Point typically operates Friday-Monday, allowing powder to accumulate during the weekdays. This leads to Powder Fridays, when skiers and riders can secure fresh tracks after a storm. There are also various ways to access the backcountry. Eagle Point offers a variety of deals, including free tickets for college students this month. Kids 12 and under also ski for free, which is available throughout the season.
In the summertime, activities include hiking and biking. The ski resort is also near state and national parks, such as Bryce Canyon and Zion. Eagle Point is slowly developing its real estate community, with a fitness center recently added. Future plans include a connector lift between the two mountains, a town square, and a Nordic spa.
