With the best snow conditions that local resorts have seen in two years, ski season this year is starting off with great promise and new snowfall in the last 72 hours has skiers and snowboarders feeling the stoke.

Eagle Point Resort
Eagle Point Resort, located near Beaver, Utah, currently has twenty-two inches of base with approximately three inches of top powder.  
The 2017-18 ski season was Eagle Point’s worst snow season in history, said their director of marketing, Scott Curry.
The resort purchased a snow-making system last summer to help when mother nature comes up short.
Shane Gadbaw, owner and operator of Eagle Point Resort, says they’ve had eighty-five inches of snow to date. 

Currently their snow is all natural, but they have artificial snow makers that will help maintain snow levels going forward.

Due to early snowfall, Eagle Point has high expectations for a favorable ski season, said Gadbaw. Their base elevation is 9,100 feet with the summit topping out at 10,600 feet.  
Eagle Point is reporting a 21 inch base, with two inches of new snow in the last 72 hours.

One of the things that a visit to Eagle Point is that its considerably less crowded than other resorts. One of their top boasts is that there’s no waiting in their lift lines.
Eagle Point has a lodge at the resort.

Brian Head Resort
Brian Head ski resort is also looking forward to this year’s ski season. With the early snowfall in October they were able to open on November 16, a week earlier than their usual Thanksgiving opening.  
With a thirty-three inch base and forty-three inches total to date, Ron Burgess, Brian Head’s Director of Marketing, says they have six lifts and thirty to thirty-five runs open.  Burgess is hopeful for a good ski season, however he said his crystal ball was not working and said mother nature provides no guarantees when it comes to snowfall.  
So far Brian Head is seeing good crowds and business for this ski season looks promising, he said. Brian Head has 50 percent natural snow, 50 percent man-made snow.
It has received eight inches of new snow in the last 72 hours.
Due to their great snow-making abilities, the resort still had a great season last year, even though it was their worst snowfall in forty years, said Burgess.
The staff at Brian Head Resort and town experienced some tense days last summer as a wildfire blazed their way, but the windchanged direction just as it approached their property line.
Currently Ron says they have had good crowds, with the majority of skiers being from Utah. Brian Head has a total of 650 acres with 71 runs, 8 chairs, and 2 surface lifts.  Base elevation for the resort is 9,600 feet with the peak at 10,970.  

There are several places to stay at the resort, providing guests with a variety of options.  Brian Head has two full-service hotels, condo rentals, VRBO and AIRBNB cabin rentals.

Arizona Snowbowl
Arizona Snowbowl opened on November 16.  They currently have twenty-seven inches of base.  Eight of their lifts are currently operating, and 29 of its 48 runs are currently available to skiers and snowboarders.  
J. R. Murray, the General Manager for the Snowbowl, said the resort has been making artificial snow since the beginning of November and that it makes snow all during the months of November and December to create a great snowpack which allows skiers to enjoy a longer season.  
Snowbowl reports that it has received 10 inches of new snow in the last 72 hours.
Snowbowl also offers ski biking which is a great alternative for people who have never skied before, allowing them a new way to enjoy the slopes. The Snowbowl has 777 acres of skiable terrain when in full season.  The Arizona Snowbowl is located on the western slope of Mount Humphreys.  Base elevation is 9,200 feet and peaks at 11,500 feet.  Hike to elevation is 12,000 feet.

All three of these resorts offer ski rentals, snowboard rentals, and all necessary equipment.
