Check the mountain’s own conditions page and operating updates before driving through Logan Canyon.
How to read a snow report
- 24-hour / 48-hour snowfall
- New snow over the stated reporting window. The 48-hour total includes the 24-hour window; don’t add them together.
- Base depth
- Snow on the ground at the resort’s reporting location, which can differ from conditions elsewhere on the mountain.
- Season snowfall
- Snow accumulated over the season’s reporting period, rather than the depth currently on the ground.
- Forecast
- A prediction of future snow, separate from measured snowfall. Snowfall alone does not establish which lifts or trails are open.
Use the source’s update date and time zone, especially around overnight storms. Off-season or stale reports may retain old readings. A missing or undated report does not mean no snow.
Beaver Mountain, “the Beav” to locals, is often called the oldest continuously family-owned ski area in the country. The Seeholzer family still runs it, and it shows: prices are low, the lodge serves burgers and homemade fare, and there are no real estate villages anywhere in sight.
The mountain gets a lot of snow for its elevation and has a good mix of groomers, trees and short steep pitches. The drive up Logan Canyon is part of the experience, and Bear Lake and Garden City are just over the summit.
