The ski resort is the first new ski resort in the United States that has been built from the ground up in over 25 years. The resort is the vision of John Chadwick a long-time resident of Utah, who with the support of his family, decided to build a truly family-friendly ski resort in the mountains near Richmond Utah on land the family has owned for over 40 years.

After several years of planning, design, and regulatory hurdles, Cherry Peak Ski Resort opened to the public on December 21, 2015, with a beautiful 14,000 square foot day lodge, two Triple Chairlifts, and a magic carpet. Cherry Peak Ski Resort also offers a vast beginners area for skiing and snowboarding and a two-lane tubing center.

The resort earned its name from the mountain peak located at the rear of the resort known as Cherry Peak. Even though Cherry Peak Ski Resort is new, it does come with some built-in history as its chairlifts were purchased from the well-known ski resorts of Whistler Blackcomb, Sun Valley Resort, and Squaw Valley Ski Resort. In addition to the great skiing in the winter, Cherry Peak offers concerts, mountain biking and a magnificent lodge that hosts special events, such as weddings during the summer.
