Ski Resort in Review - Cherry Peak

Resort #3 - Cherry Peak

Date - December 26, 2017

Runs - 8

Rating  (out of 5 stars)

We visited Cherry Peak on their opening day, December 26.  We had been hit with a huge snowstorm Christmas morning and we were hoping that would translate to a good ski day.  Ada's uncle Hyrum was a good sport to join us.

Unfortunately, we were really disappointed. Only one lift was open and the run was quite short.  There wasn't enough snow, so weeds, brush and rocks were showing through.  The biggest issue of all though was that the runs had only been recently groomed.  They weren't groomed earlier in the year which allowed the snow to freeze and turn into ice.  The groomer broke up this icy crust and left it spread all over the run making it really difficult for Ada and not as fun for the rest of us.  It felt like icy spring night skiing.  Everybody who visited the Salt Lake resorts on the day after Christmas had some of the best skiing, while we suffered at Cherry Peak.


Lunch at 5 Guys.


Testing out our skills on the magic carpet.






The real highlight of the day was visiting the lone remaining Taco Maker.  My favorite restaurant.  Apparently Napoleon loves Big J Burgers.
