One of the best places we discovered was the hidden gem of Beaver Mountain. This quaint little ski resort has more to offer than what meets the eye. But….Shhhhh….don’t….tell….anyone!

About Beaver Mountain

Over the years, Beaver Mountain has become a legend in creating amazing family opportunities. This quaint little ski resort is one of the finest small ski areas in Northern Utah and has been family owned and operated since 1939.

Those who keep it going believe in a personal touch and pride themselves in seeing that individual skiers, both young and old, receive special treatment and have the best time they can possibly have. For example, the owner still stamps the lift tickets by hand and works at the ticket office!
