We checked out of Iron Blosam Saturday and spent an hour or so round Temple Sq. in SLC.
The Salt Lake Temple is present process main renovation and seismic retrofitting, which started in 2019 and is estimated to be full in 2026. The temple will have to be reconsecrated, and full excursions will likely be out there for about 6 months earlier than that, just like the one I took in Draper in 2009.
We had a late lunch on the Purple Iguana (nonetheless a worthy eating vacation spot) after which drove to Logan for the night time. From there it’s nonetheless a 40 minute drive to Beaver Mt., which is near the cross between Logan and Bear Lake. Elevation vary is 7,200-8,800 toes and publicity is about 2/3 east and 1/3 north. Liz’ window ticket was $70 whereas I used my Indy Move.
It was previous 10:30 once we began snowboarding. The higher half of vertical nonetheless had winter snow if north dealing with. Maybe half the mountain was in spring transition mode on this primary large warmup day with afternoon temps within the 40’s. Some decrease and direct east dealing with had already soften/frozen.
Terrain was fairly expansive, and with modest skier density almost all groomers have been in fine condition all day, much like Powder Mt. the subsequent day. On our second run we noticed ski patrol coaching.
After two groomers we ventured into Beaver’s Powder, which begins with these Aspen glades.
It opens up within the mid part.
The evergreen forest decrease down was soften/frozen so we bailed to Teddy’s Frolic.
We moved over to Marge’s Triple, the place components of most groomers have been in prime corn mode noon. Right here’s the Rodeo Grounds terrain park.
After 5 runs on Marge’s we went in for a break and bowl of soup. The locker room downstairs boasts maybe essentially the most assorted assortment of stickers from one ski space that I’ve ever seen.
And naturally the risqué ones:
I heard not too long ago about Beaver Mt. from all individuals Powderchaser Steve. Steve’s goal is to attain first chair lengthy vertical contemporary tracks, with favored areas being Snowbird, Crystal, Palisades and Jackson. He consulted me not too long ago about his plans for chasing the April 8 whole photo voltaic eclipse in Texas. He talked about not too long ago scoring Beaver’s steady full vertical in Beaver’s sidecountry with a straightforward traverse again to the bottom (word that Steve is a snowboarder!). By topography that needed to be the southern boundary, view that means from prime of Harry’s Dream chair:
Below present circumstances no means have been we going on the market however we determined to observe skier packed traces contained in the boundary.
Even in bounds that is glorious terrain for contemporary snow in largely spaced bushes. We by no means noticed indicators for the Canyon View or Robinson’s Rim runs, however I don’t assume they’re effectively outlined. About 2/3 of the way in which down the open traces went into the shade so we bailed left to keep away from doubtless crunch.
5429
We discovered a sunny spot for the ultimate pitch.
We skied a pair extra runs in softened bumps. Liz received her easterner’s mogul repair right here on Higher Teddy’s.
Lee’s was comparable.
On my final chair experience I noticed a primary: a snowboarder together with his child on a leash, additionally on a snowboard.
I completed at 4PM with 20,800 vertical.

Beaver is extra distant than Pebble Creek. Utah State College is in Logan, however Beaver is a critical schlep from anyplace else. Whereas in Temple Sq. we realized than the Salt Lake temple is just the fourth oldest in Utah. One of many older ones is in Logan.
Fences/gates have been locked and the parking zone was empty, type of stunning 5PM on Sunday.
