7 Ski Areas Are Offering Access to Eagle Point Passholders As Resort Rebuilds From Wildfire Damage

Months after tragedy struck, several ski areas are pitching in to help Eagle Point, Utah, the resort that burned in a fire last summer and previously announced that it won’t be able to open this coming winter.

Eagle Point said in a social media post that seven ski areas will honor reciprocal pass access for Eagle Point passholders. In other words, those who have an Eagle Point pass can use it at the following mountains this coming winter. 

“Go explore some new mountains this season, and we’ll see you back home soon,” Eagle Point wrote.Details of the reciprocal access were shared with passholders via email. The following resorts are included:

• Cherry Peak Resort, Utah
• Diamond Peak Resort, Nevada
• Great Divide Ski Area, Montana
• Kelly Canyon Resort, Idaho
• Loveland Ski Area, Colorado
• Red River Ski & Summer Area, New Mexico
• Soldier Mountain, Idaho

The Cottonwood Fire hit Eagle Point in June 2026. The blaze seriously damaged the resort, including four out of five of the ski area’s lifts, roughly half of its skiable acreage, and several structures. 145 families lost a condo or home in the area.

Not long after, driving rain brought flooding that seriously damaged or completely washed away parts of the road connecting the town of Beaver to Eagle Point, SR-153, further complicating restoration efforts. 

Eagle Point’s owner Shane Gadbaw launched BeaverTUF in the wake of the fire. The nonprofit is dedicated to recovery efforts in the community and areas impacted by the fire, working to address needs that insurance, FEMA, or other assistance programs may not cover.

Eagle Point later said that resorts, industry partners, and mountain communities chipped in to help. They contributed to recovery, connected employees with jobs, sent lift engineers to assess damage, and passed on lessons from their own recoveries, the resort added.

“To all of our friends across the industry: thank you. We’re deeply grateful, and we hope to pay it forward someday,” the post said.

Another ski area, Maverick Mountain in Montana, was seriously damaged by wildfires this summer and also has a fundraising effort underway.

Eagle Point aims to reopen in November 2027.
