Cherry Peak is a ski area in northern Utah that opened in 2014[3][4] and first used for skiing in the 2015–2016 season. It is located in Cherry Canyon, east of Richmond, Utah in the Bear River Mountains. While smaller and less developed than a number of Utah ski resorts, Cherry Peak is close and convenient to residents of nearby Logan, Utah State University,[5] and Cache Valley. It also hosts students from more distant universities.[6][7]
The resort has snowmaking equipment which it uses to augment the natural snowfall as needed.
The resort is accessed by driving 3.5 miles (5.5 km)[8] east from Richmond, Utah (on 500 North Street) into Cherry Canyon. Due to its smaller size and relative distance from the Wasatch Front,[9] it is presently mostly considered a locally-oriented facility.
