A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
Beaver Mountain has many issues that make it a frustrating place to ski. I’ve tried to overlook these as I’ve skied there from time to time over the years, but in late Dec 2024, I was harassed by a ticket checker in what turned out to be a humiliating experience. That experience has prompted this review. To begin, the lifts are all old and very slow. With only 1600 feet vertical on its biggest run and very little, if any, terrain that is actually above intermediate level, a good intermediate skier can descend from summit to base in about five minutes. The lift ride is a little more than about 10 minutes. So, three hours of “skiing” is actually two hours on the lift and one hour skiing, if you don’t have to wait in line. But, if the lift lines are long, as they always are on weekends, the amount of time skiing as opposed to riding the lift and standing is even less, sometimes much less. The lifts are dangerous, especially the Beaver Face lift. There are no safety bars on the face lift or Harry’s Dream lift and the safety bars on the Marge’s Triple lift are not functional. Only the Little Beaver lift has a useable safety bar. The lifts are still loaded manually, often with distracted or belligerent operators. Tickets are scanned manually and lines are disorganized. Ticket checkers and lift operators are often rude to skiers and display annoyance at having to deal with them. Ticket and rental lines are long. Tickets are stamped manually, and a surcharge is added when purchased online, but still require standing in line to pick up. Parking is inadequate, especially on weekends. They advertise as family friendly, but the vibe I get is not family friendly. The attitude among employees impresses me as one of subdued aggravation at having to deal with customers. The only positive things about Beaver Mountain are the all-volunteer ski patrol and the ski school, although the latter is best suited for beginner and intermediate skiers. If you want a good ski experience close to Cache Valley, try Snowbasin. Snowbasin, a far superior resort, is only an additional 30 to 45 minutes from Logan. Snowbasin is more expensive than Beaver, but if your goal is to spend less money so you can in stand in line and put up with the aggravation of the place, then Beaver Mountain is the place for you.

Basically a smaller powder mountain! Very good price for how big the mountain is! Snow is very good and powdery. They have an entire lift for beginners that also has 2 runs for more advanced skiers (good for families that want to stay close) has tons of black runs and blue runs that you can cross onto making every time feel new! Trails have enough space you don't feel crowded when in a group (and you can go through the trees for an extra challenge). I've also snowboarded here and its just as fun. Only downside i can say is, its out of the way so restaurants aren't close and the options on the mountain are good but the best.

Beaver Mountain is an awesome family-run ski resort in northern Utah. The ski resort is on a northern aspect, which means that the snow stays pristine until the temperatures warm up in spring. Saturday is the only day you really have to watch out for others, and if you come midweek you will almost feel like you have the entire mountain to yourself. There are plenty of options for different skill levels and the trails are well-networked. The biggest downside for me is that the mountain is normally only open 9-4. They do offer night skiing for an additional cost on some nights. But overall, amazing snow, great place, and also super cheap.

I have been skiing the "Beav" for 30+ years and prefer it to other resorts. The lifties are great, is a friendly mountain, usually good snow, no lift lines to speak of, great bang for your buck especially if you get your season pass in the spring. Some complain that the lifts are slow and are not detachable quads. I am glad because on a good powder day like yesterday the area would be skied out in no time. It has good backside skiing if you know the area. I hope others give the "Beav" poor reviews because I want to keep it for my own selfish self. Last year I skied 65 days at the Beav!!!

I grew up skiing Beaver Mountain, still one of my most favorite places to ski. It just feels like home, family friendly. Runs are a little limited due to the size of the mountain, but it is a lot of fun to take the family.
Lodge is always busy and full of people, it really needs to be expanded.
Value is great, if you are skiing the family, look into the season passes for locals, a great value.
Not a lot of steep and deep, but as I get older I get the less of that I ski.
All the snow is from the sky, so on low snow years watch for rocks, best skiing is when they have between 80-100 inches. At about 48 inches, all the rocks are pretty much covered.
