Backcountry

Make first tracks in the backcountry of Eagle Point, where the sky's the limit...

Attention Powderhounds ! Don't miss some of the best backcountry skiing available in Utah. We've worked in cooperation with the Fishlake National Forest to provide you with specific locations where backcountry terrain may be accessed. The surrounding Forest service land has 12,000+ foot peaks and miles and miles of terrain, opening up a whole new world of terrain for backcountry skiers and splitboarders, cross country skiers and snowshoers.

Disclaimer

Eagle Point in partnership with the Fishlake National Forest Service provides access to the backcountry. Eagle Point provides five backcountry gates to access beyond the area boundaries. Eagle Point does not allow skiing under a rope or past area boundary or closed signs - both of which are prohibited. To access the backcountry one MUST go through designated gates only. There is signage at each gate identifying the gate and the risks of exiting the ski area. In exiting the resort you are assuming the risks associated with skiing outside the permit boundary.

Travel in the backcountry can be exhilarating but it can also present risks and dangers. The terrain beyond Eagle Point boundary is in its natural state and entering the backcountry involves risks including those posed by deep snow, avalanches, steep terrain, cliffs and other terrain variations. When entering the backcountry, you are assuming the risks of skiing in areas that do not receive any avalanche control work and are not managed by Eagle Point Ski Patrol. Eagle Point cannot guarantee that it will be able to perform a search and rescue in the backcountry and will not put patrollers at risk to perform search and rescue work in dangerous avalanche conditions.

For those who are educated, experienced, and prepared with the proper equipment including backpack, shovel, avalanche beacon, probe, climbing skins, ski mountaineering equipment, extra clothing, food, water, cell phone, etc., the backcountry can be a wonderful experience at the right time. It also can be deadly at the wrong time.

Ski and ride responsibly.
