We had a great trip to Beaver Mountain. The snow was soft everywhere. Lot of groomed terrain to suit my abilities. My wife enjoyed the affordable private lessons ($130 for 2 hours).
I took my daughter on the magic carpet and beginner chair a few times. The magic carpet is the best I have seen so far. Many magic carpets have on and off-ramps that are not correctly sloped, making it difficult for people to get on and off. Not at Beaver. The green runs off the beginner chair (Little Beaver) were steep and flat in sections. Beaver Mountain is not ideal for true beginners. The green runs at Park City are better, but then you have to deal with crowds and expensive lessons. The green run off Harry's Dream meanders around the mountain through steep sections and catwalks. It would probably be rated blue at Park City.
I saw the Glenn brothers multiple times showing off their tricks to the people on Harry's Dream lift. There were also in line in front of me, and they were in a good mood, poking fun at others, pushing people out of the line to get them in trouble with the lifties.
There were a lot of people on Saturday. The parking lot was full, and you had to park on the side of the access road. They were organizing rides to the base area from the parking.
Sunday was a lot quieter. I mostly shared the lifts with students from Utah State University on Sunday. They told me that Sunday is less busy because many people are at Church.
An employee at the rental shop told us that this was their busiest weekend as most students are back at the University. So the week after Christmas is not as busy as MLK weekend. The worst lines were about 10 minutes, and the average was < 5 minutes. Overall the slopes didn't feel crowded.
We will probably be back here. Overall it's only an hour farther than other ski areas like Park City but a lot less crowded and more affordable.
