Beaver Mountain

Skiing in Utah

Beaver Mountain is a small family-owned resort located 27 miles from Logan (about 110 miles north of Salt Lake City) in the Wasatch-Cache national forest. It is not typically considered a destination resort, as its skiable terrain represents just a small fraction of that of its nearby competitors. Beaver Mountain has three lifts servicing 525 acres and offers a good mix of beginner and intermediate terrain. This, combined with its affordable ticket prices, make it an excellent choice for families, particularly those on a budget.

Location: Beaver Mountain is located 27 miles east of Logan, Utah, in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest, off Highway 89.

From Salt Lake City: take I-15 North to Exit 364, on Highway 89 to Logan. Once in Logan, turn right at 400 North. Continue on this road (Hwy. 89) to the resort, 27 miles up Logan Canyon.

From Bear Lake: take highway 89 West through Logan Canyon. Beaver Mountain is 14 miles from Garden City.

Season: Open daily from early December through March. Closed Christmas day.

Elevation and Vertical Drop: 7,200' to 8,800' for a 1,600' vertical drop from the highest lift.

Lifts: Three double-chair lifts.

Snowboading: Snowboards are welcome. Snowboarders are restricted from Little Beaver.

Average Annual Snowfall: 400"Utah Powder" inches.

Runs and Terrain: 22 runs within 525 acres. 35% novice, 40% intermediate, 25% expert.

Ski School: Beaver Mountain Ski School ski instruction is available daily.

The Snoopy Ski School, for children 5 to 8 years of age, is very popular. It is an all-day class (except lunch) and runs 5 weeks on Saturdays or Sundays, and during the week of Christmas Holiday.
