Comments
We found very nice powder conditions and stable snow in the backcountry around Beaver Mountain Ski Area, including on the Backside. Unfortunately, somebody already tracked it up!
We found generally stable snow and a LOW danger near Beaver Mountain today. But remember, once you leave the Area Boundary, the Beaver Backside is the backcountry and you should treat it as such. Avalanches do occur in the area.
