EAGLE POINT RESORT — Eagle Point Resort has had several names and owners throughout the years, but it has grown and expanded during that time and is currently selling 23 ski-in, ski-out home lots.

Located about 18 miles east of Beaver, Eagle Point Resort was opened in 1971 and was originally known as Mount Holly, according to CEO and owner Shane Gadbaw. During the 1980s, the resort merged with another resort that had opened adjacent to it and was renamed Elk Meadows. Then in 2010, Gadbaw purchased the resort, and it was renamed a third time and is currently known as Eagle Point.

Eagle Point Resort has 600 skiable acres, five chairlifts and 40 ski runs that cater to skiers and snowboarders of differing skill levels. Snow bikes and other sports equipment is also allowed at the resort, as long as it is on a leash.

"Last year, we put a new surface lift on the steep side to access additional steep runs that we have," Gadbaw said. "We are known for having very family-friendly terrain on the old Elk Meadows side of the mountain, and we are known for having the steepest steep terrain in Southern Utah on the old Mount Holly side. … It makes it nice from a skier experience as well because the beginners are all together and the experts are all together and there's not a lot of crossover."

The resort currently has several lodging options, including 50 condos and cabins that range from a 600-square-foot condo to a 4,000-square-foot home. In the summer of 2015, the resort also added a 3,000-square-foot cabin as its newest lodging option.

And this year, the resort announced its new ski-in, ski-out neighborhood, Aspen Crest. As part of the neighborhood, the resort has 23 home sites for sale with finished lots ranging from ⅓ acre to almost a full acre. The new neighborhood and lots are located right in the center of the resort, Gadbaw said.

For dining options, the resort has two restaurants. The Outpost Bar and Grill is a newly renovated 12,000-square-foot building that offers high-quality American grilled food items. The restaurant also has a lounge with board games, pool and foosball tables, and a fireplace. There is also live entertainment every Saturday beginning at 9 p.m. The second dining option, the Skyline Cafe, offers cheaper, cafeteria style items.

The resort is a great escape for locals and also caters to many visitors from Las Vegas and California, Gadbaw said.

"It's a great, affordable escape from the crowds and high prices of the larger, more developed resorts in the north," he said.
