Beaver Mountain

Family-run since 1939, deep snow and old-school prices.

Run by the Seeholzer family since 1939, “the Beav” sits near the top of Logan Canyon between Logan and Bear Lake. Expect about 400 inches of snow a year, short lines, 828 acres with plenty of trees and a no-frills lodge. There’s no snowmaking, so it runs on natural snow, and it’s an Indy Pass stop.
