Cherry Peak Resort
Cherry Peak is a ski area in northern Utah that opened in 2014 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, and Cache Valley. It also hosts students from more distant universities.

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) east from Richmond, Utah (on 500 North Street) into Cherry Canyon. Due to its smaller size and its relative distance from the Wasatch Front, it is presently mostly considered a locally-oriented facility.
