Plan your visit: access, parking and practical details
Check the operator’s current fees, reservations, parking, transit, restrooms and accessibility arrangements before leaving. Confirm specific mobility or sensory needs directly with the venue.
Official visitor information ↗Snow report
Check the report date and operating announcement carefully: snowfall totals or lift listings can remain visible outside the ski season.
How to read a snow report
- 24-hour / 48-hour snowfall
- New snow over the stated reporting window. The 48-hour total includes the 24-hour window; don’t add them together.
- Base depth
- Snow on the ground at the resort’s reporting location, which can differ from conditions elsewhere on the mountain.
- Season snowfall
- Snow accumulated over the season’s reporting period, rather than the depth currently on the ground.
- Forecast
- A prediction of future snow, separate from measured snowfall. Snowfall alone does not establish which lifts or trails are open.
Use the source’s update date and time zone, especially around overnight storms. Off-season or stale reports may retain old readings. A missing or undated report does not mean no snow.
Cherry Peak opened in 2015, making it the first new ski area in Utah in decades. It is modest in size, with a handful of chairlifts and a snowmaking system, but it gives Cache Valley families a close-to-home place to learn, ski after work under the lights or ride the tubing lanes.
The resort sits in a quiet canyon east of Richmond, a farm town known for its dairies. Pair a visit with Logan and the drive up Logan Canyon.
