Eagle Point Resort: Cottonwood Fire impactEagle Point Resort Statemaent
Today, for the first time since the Cottonwood Fire reached Eagle Point Resort, we were able to return and begin seeing the impact firsthand. We wanted to share an initial update with our community.
While these initial observations only reflect part of the picture, and the full extent of the damage is still being evaluated, here is what we know so far:
Damaged areas and property: - Approximately 300 of the resort’s 600 acres of ski terrain were impacted on the south side of the mountain, primarily along Tushar Ridge (the “Steeps”)
- Canyonside Lodge, one of two day lodges, along with more than 100 condos and 30 cabins, were lost in the fire
- 4 of our 5 chairlifts sustained damage, though the full extent is still being determined
- The Warming Station on Tushar Ridge did not survive the fire
- Additional losses include 5 snowmobiles, 3 vehicles, and 3 storage containers containing tools
Areas and infrastructure that remain intact: - Skyline Lodge, our main on-mountain facility
- Monarch lift on the north side of the resort and surrounding terrain
- Skyline terrain (minimal impact)
- Aspen Crest subdivision is mostly intact, with minimal tree damage
- Snowmaking pond and equipment
- Cell phone and internet towers
