It offers 68 resorts across the US and Canada, each providing two days of skiing or riding for an affordable price. Indy Pass resorts are independent and uniquely authentic, and many are owned and operated by multi-generational families passionate about snow sports.
About Eagle Point Resort –
Eagle Point Resort is considered the quintessential hidden gem of Utah, about three hours north of Las Vegas and south of Salt Lake City, and seven hours drive from most areas of Southern California. Terrain consists of wide, uncrowded, evenly pitched groomers perfect for beginner and intermediate skiers and steep fall line terrain that never moguls given the lack of crowds. Due to a Friday-Monday operating schedule for most of the season, the resort is also known for its popular #powderfridays. The snow piles up midweek and remains untouched until the lifts start spinning again on Friday mornings. If reasonably priced ski-in/ski-out lodging, a laid-back vibe, untouched powder late into the day, and no lift lines (ever) are what you are looking for, then consider this mega-resort alternative in Utah.
