First timer alert! I am more of a summer time girl, so winter recreation has not ever really been my "thing," but I've wanted to get out of my comfort zone and try new things, so I attempted snowboarding. This review is not about my snowboarding, per se. If that were the case, I would give it exactly one half of a star. But it's not Cherry peak's fault that I can't find my balance. I spent my entire day on the magic carpet. It was an easy hill with a lovely human conveyor belt that moved me and my awkward self up the hill after stumbling down it over and over again. The staff was friendly and even stopped the moving belt when I found myself with one foot stuck on the board and the other stuck on the ground off the belt. I'm sure they laughed inwardly, but they maintained professionalism in my presence. The lodge is a bit outdated, but that adds to it's charm. We rented skis for my son and the staff was helpful in sizing him and giving him a quick tutorial (lessons were offered, but he just needed a quick refresher). My one big suggestion would be to amp up the staff in the kitchen area. We waited a while for our order and found that most people bombarded the restaurant around lunch time and there were not enough cooks to handle the crowd. With no other options for food, they probably don't lose much business, but likely struggle to keep happy customers. A few extra hands would go far. read more

Cherry Peak - This is the tiny hill that I stumbled down multiple times while learning to snowboard. - Ski Resorts Near Me - Richmond, Utah

Valentines event at Cherry Peak Resort. Waste of money. For almost $15,000 the event generated to the owners it should have been much better. The Valentine's Day event cost 149.00 per couple. 100 couples were there. Check in was a long line nightmare with tickets. Seating was crowded-elbow to elbow. The food was inedible. from Firehouse. Mac n cheese -gluey texture bland flavor and barely warm. Chicken breast with the barest hint of some red sauce. Tough and chewy. Not even warm. The roll was just pulled out of a refrigerator and very cold. Who serves cold refrigerated dinner rolls? An out of the bag salad with a squeeze bottle of generic ranch. For dessert? A 1.5 inch X 1.5 inch piece chocolate cake. Literally no service with the food. The music afterward was ok. The talent was excellent but the sound mixer was way off. Music too loud and yet unable to hear the musicians sing or even the guitar or cello during the sets. The 3 musician groups seemed put together at the last minute. It was absolutely the worst food I have ever been asked to eat. What should have been a nice evening out was dashed by poor food and poor planning. read more

I am deeply disappointed and feel taken advantage of. I have a great affection for our small town of Richmond and make it a priority to support our local businesses. However, today's experience at Cherry Peak was the final straw for me. I understand that every business faces challenges and miscommunications can occur among employees. I even sympathize with the constraints of a limited budget that may result in worn-out equipment. However, what I fail to comprehend is the management's policy of exploiting their customers. Today, my two daughters asked me to take them skiing. As beginner skiers, this was a wonderful opportunity to introduce them to the joys of the mountain, considering we live just 3 miles away from the lift.I have a season pass, so... I purchased two tickets, one for my 11-year-old and another for my older daughter. We proceeded to the rental shop to get boots and skis. Once the girls were ready, we headed towards the magic carpet for their lesson with their dad. I got the my girls ready and noticed that my youngest daughter's ticket was an adult ticket not a Youth. Well, OK I give a little to the cause today. Unfortunately, when we arrived at the magic carpet area, it was broken and roped off. I chatted with two of the employees of the resort. They said it would not be fixed today, but possibly tomorrow. Super nice guys and did their best to make the apologies for the resort. I was faced with a dilemma. I wasn't comfortable taking the girls to the top of the mountain on the chairlift. Therefore, I made the decision to postpone our skiing lessons for another day. We went down to the ticket counter to request a refund. However, the young lady behind the counter informed me that since the main chairlift was functioning, we did not qualify for a refund. I explained to her that we were beginners seeking our first lesson, and I simply wasn't comfortable taking the girls on the main chairlift. Her response was, "Sorry, we don't offer refunds. That's the management's policy." Feeling frustrated, I was grateful when the rental department contacted the manager and requested a refund for our rental equipment. Nonetheless, I am still left with the burden of being overcharged $83 for two adult lift tickets we could not use. I only have 30 days remaining on my season pass, but I'm hesitant about returning due to the mountain's poor conditions and the attitude of the employees influenced by management. Throughout the years, I've heard numerous negative remarks about our local Cherry Peak. Despite this, I strive to support them because they are a local establishment right in our backyard. However, it seems that the general public's concerns may hold some truth. I sincerely hope that Cherry Peak can address their issues and improve their overall operations. It would be wonderful to have a local mountain that we can enjoy with our family for generations to come. Unfortunately, my optimism is currently limited. read more

I would give this negative stars if I could based on experience.... Oh wait or lack there of. We are visiting from out of town came here on recommendation. We came by asking about tubing the lady told us they weren't open yet, we left, saying we will come back after they opened. Ok that's fine. We come back when it's open, asked about tubing rentals. Only for the girl to say oh we aren't renting them today.... That would had been fine had the First Lady told us that who watched us leave... and hear us say we would come back in a few hours... will never recommend or comeback. read more

If I was writing a review about the concert series they put on during the summer I would be giving 5 stars. That is actually really fun and put together very well with great musical artists. As a ski resort I have to give them 2 stars.. the resort is pretty small and you spend most of your time riding the lifts compared to actually skiing or boarding. The chairs on the lift aren't well kept. There is torn material and foam falling off on a good amount of them. I even got one that was just metal. A pro about it is that it wasn't very crowded. read more

WARNING: DO NOT go disc golfing here ever! This has got to be the worse course because you are playing through weeds knee-high throughout. No one in their right mind would, so I'm not sure why I did as many holes as I did when the first hole was ridiculously lush with weeds. Every throw you make, whether short or long, you find yourself on a scavenger hunt looking for your discs. Like trying to find a needle in a haystack. Fortunately and unfortunately, I made it maybe halfway through because I had severe rashes all over my legs (stinging nettle) and decided to quit, 8 holes too late but nonetheless better late than never. How they can promote and let people onto the course is negligent. It blows my mind. They charge you as well. No one walks through weeds or thick brush on a normal basis, so why would you want to play a game in it. Please let my lapse in judgment help you make the right decision. You'll have to take a trip to the pharmacy and pick up some calamine lotion and hydrocortisone cream afterwards... read more

I think the resort is wonderful for the price, distance, and a decent experience. The tubing hill is extremely affordable for family with children. The lodge is right there and is not terribly slow in getting a bite. Parking lots do not get too full either, despite not being huge. So, true you cannot compare it with park city or bigger resorts, but it is a great option for locals and ones who want an easy experience. Highly recommend the tubing track for kids. Safe and fun, and the tunnel under the bridge is a brilliant design. read more

My name is Ryan Innes. I was the opening act for Air Supply at Cherry Peak Resort's summer concert series on Aug 19 2021. Dustin Hansen, the head of Marketing booked me. 6 months later I have yet to be paid for the show. I've emailed, texted, called and he's promised it would be taken care of. Now a lawyer is involved and more than likely we will have to go to small claims court. This has literally never happened to me before in over 10 years of playing. I couldn't recommend this resort or it's staff any less. Do yourself a favor and not even bother with them. read more

Where do I start? Worst experience at a ski resort of my life. Trying to get the kids checked into ski school was a mess. Total disorganization. They were pre-registered and pre-paid. The computer system wouldn't work, and we couldn't get any help from the staff. It kept saying "enter valid birthdate" when we had already entered a valid birthdate. A dozen attempts later it finally worked. Then you have to zigzag through the room with people everywhere, and staff working at a snail's pace. You actually have to do circles around the crowded room because you can't walk across it because there are benches all throughout the middle. Makes it hard to zigzag. Nobody seems to know what they're doing, or care to. 2.5 hours from arrival to getting to the top of the first lift. Not happy at this point. First run goes fine. Second time up the lift, the operator decides to shut down the lift when I'm five feet from unloading so he can chew me out for having both feet in my snowboard. Seriously condescending and treated me like a child. I've been riding lifts and unloading with both feet buckled since that jerk was in diapers. That's the whole reason I invested in clip in bindings, and will never go back to buckles. He wouldn't start the lift until I complied. I wasn't ready to get kicked out just yet, so I did it (mistake in hindsight, would have been much less frustration to get kicked out early than to put up with this place for the rest of the afternoon). Got to the bottom, and my kids wanted to show off their new skills on the bunny slope. Carry my board over there to ride the conveyor with them, and guess what? Chewed out again!! This time for carrying my board. Apparently I have to have one foot strapped in to ride the kiddie conveyor, even though the people riding to the top of the tubing hill are just standing on the conveyor belt. Very frustrated at this point. Ride the regular lift one more time, uneventful, but get to the bottom, my 9year old wants to go up on the mountain. Sure, we got time. Get to the front of the line and the staff puts the bench across the lane in front of us. Look at my phone, and it's 3:58. Lifts are supposed to run until 4:00. I've never seen a lift shut down early. Can't take anymore, and start unloading my frustration on the employee in front of me, he was very friendly and understanding, and told me he has worked at other, larger ski resorts, and shares my frustration. He doesn't like how they treat their customers. I Will NEVER go back. I refuse to support businesses that don't appreciate their customers. There is another ski resort not too far away that is worth the extra price, my advice is to do your homework and go there instead. read more

Enjoyed skiing at Cherry Peak on our way to Montana. They allowed us to park our RV/van in the parking lot the night before so it was super convenient to hop up and ski half day. We hit it perfectly as it snowed 3" during the night so the conditions were favorable during a light snow year. It is a small, family-friendly ski resort with a good selection of beginner/ intermediate terrain. Sometimes it is refreshing to bypass the hassle and high cost of the big, crowded resorts. read more

Disorganized & inconvenient for customers. Really bummed because I was excited to go here and was hoping to receive decent customer service. Went to pick up tickets for an event, no one was at the booth. Called the number on a business card, said they were only there at certain hours and forgot to list that on their email. Told me they would be there between 3-8pm, so I went back @ 4pm. Someone was there but they didn't have wrist bands/tickets. Seriously, at this point I was frustrated. Then, they ask me to come back a third time! Which was absolutely ridiculous! Called the same lady from earlier, she was apologetic. Which I appreciate, but went on with a million excuses. I understand that hiccups happen, but come on. Telling me to pick up my tickets somewhere and then asking me to come back three times. Not acceptable, and they didn't do anything to resolve the problem. She did offer to mail them to me, but the tickets finally arrived after 10min of waiting? :( Bad experience. read more

Having skiied Cherry Peak instead of just going for summer activities, I'd have to say that it is pretty decent for what it is, I'm thankful for what it has with being such a small and start-up resort, no-less being very accessible to Cache Valley residents. Cherry Peak contains 3 ski lifts that cover a total rise of 1200 feet, with both advanced and beginner terrain, as well as terrain park elements by the Vista lift. I'd have to say that I'm impressed with "the lodge" they have at the base, containing everything you need for skiing (rentals, food, gear) and I'm not disappointed with how the space upstairs can be used for hosting events. How is the skiing you ask? Well, it's decent. For $40 I don't think it's totally worth the ticket price, but it's not a bad price considering how accessible it is from the valley and the fact that they have night skiing over the whole mountain that's open until 9pm. I would say that it is fun to ski, I find that the more advanced terrain can be untouched when I'm up there. Beware though, if there is thin cover you may want to be careful where you go! These past two seasons have had trouble getting a good snowpack and I've skied on some crusty snow. read more

For a small start up resort, it's not bad by any means. I'm fortunate enough to live in Ogden, with access to PowMow and Snowbasin, but if I lived in Cache Valley, I would have no complaints having this be my home resort. The lifts were typical for a small resort: triple, non-detachable chairs. The verticale was fine, I think it was just a hair under 1,200 ft. The runs were icy which makes me wonder if the groomers actually do anything. I probably won't go out of my way to ski here again, but if I'm in the area and have time to kill I would totally visit again. read more

Worst disc golf ever!!! The only reason they get one star is for the view. It costs way too much money, nothing is groomed and be prepared to lose all of your discs because the hole are located in the worst possible positions. No poison ivy that I ran into... so there is that. read more

I have been to Cherry Peak multiple times and left dissatisfied and frustrated every time! The service was terrible, and everything about the place is overpriced. Take your money elsewhere and get more 'bang for your buck' but also nicer/more accommodating staff! read more

This is the absolute worst place in Utah to watch a concert. The customer service is horrible, the organization is worse. I was charged twice for two concert tickets and have been given the run around about getting my money back. I was told there are no refunds, then after sharing my feelings about that, I was told it would take quite a while to get a refund. What does that mean? No one will call me back, no one will email me back. Do not attend a concert at this place! They will rip you off. Oh, and I was told I would get a confirmation email about the tickets I purchased, which I never received, which I was told in that email that it states there are no refunds. I can't read anything I don't receive! At the concert we went to we could barely hear the music, the performer ended after less then an hour of playing so all of the shuttle busses that take you back to your car weren't there to pick you up because they weren't expecting to be there for another hour. read more

The snow conditions were not the best but the views were fantastic. Not sure if the elevation is high enough to sustain decent conditions for the ski season and would recommend you check before going. For beginners there was excellent terrain and the lift operators were extremely kind to our 4 beginner skiers ages 6-10. The rest of the service was excellent. They even let us use some equipment at no charge. Would recommend for beginner and intermediate until they get the new lift going. read more
