Summary
After a slow start to the season — including a rare Christmas closure due to unseasonal warmth — winter is finally making its presence known. The current snowpack sits at 23 inches, still well below average for this time of year, but a fresh 6 inches is expected over the next five days, giving skiers something to smile about. With a Snow Water Equivalent of 6.4 inches, the incoming snow should bring some welcome density and improved conditions across the mountain.
Despite the late start, Beaver Mountain is returning to form just in time for the busy New Year’s weekend. While caution remains essential — especially in the backcountry, where experts warn of deceptive avalanche risks — on-resort terrain is being groomed and refreshed. This season also marks the end of an era with Marge Seeholzer stepping away from her iconic ticket booth, a reminder of the mountain’s deep local roots and family-run charm. With more snow in the forecast and temperatures staying low, this week could finally turn the tide for a long-awaited winter at the “Ski the Beav” favorite.
