Eagle Point, Beaver, UT

The family-run resort, 3 1/2 hours from both Salt Lake City and Las Vegas, is the season’s best bargain: Everyone skis free on Thursdays in January, and California residents ski free all season. Since reopening in 2010 with new owners after being shuttered for eight years, the wonderfully remote Eagle Point has expanded its terrain and lodging, added slopeside hot tubs, and established its Outpost Grill as the area’s best restaurant.
