Hello again from the slopes of Beaver Mountain! Remember us? Probably not. If you have been one of those unfortunate enough to be stuck in the valley all week, chances are you haven’t even been able to see the mountains through all the smog.
One of the reasons I love my job so much is because I pretty much get to stay out of town when our beautiful valley looks more like LA or New York than a pristine mountain community. While you are all enjoying the red burn days, lung filling filth and temperatures that would make a penguin cold I am laying tracks under blue skis and warm temperatures. Yep, Life is pretty good up here at the mountain.
The only thing I really hate about these inversions is that we usually don’t get much snow while they are going on. But rest assured my friends, we are working hard to bring in a storm that will bring on the powder and clear out the inversion.
First we tried going the Snow dance route. We stripped down to our skives and skipped around the lodge praising UllR the Norse Snow God. We stopped doing that when a group of Mountain Adventure kids skied by and looked horrified.
Next we decided to sacrifice a virgin. Unfortunately Ted informed us that would violate several rules in the employee handbook.
Finally we decided that if we all had brand new gear ready to ridden the moment the snow starts to fall, the snow gods would smile upon us with feet of new snow. So here is the scoop: This Saturday and Sunday and Monday (Jan. 16-18) we will be hooking you up with incredible deals on Skis, Boards, Outerwear, Beanies and whatever else we feel we need to bring the snow. You’ll see up to 50% some items. Get up here because we’re only going do this for 3 days. See yak soon!

I had the pleasure of skiing Beaver Mt. during the winter of 1979 while I was attending USU.( I transferred back to a school closer to home in Chicago the following year) I still remember getting off of the chair and sliding into above the knee powder......
I then moved to the east coast and actually became a Ski School Director and married another Ski School DIrector......someday we will be back to take some turns on our skis or boards.....I tell people about Beaver Mt. every ski season, even though we have not been involved in the ski industry for over 10 years now. I can envision inhaling the cold crisp air while looking at the clear blue sky.........
One of our old employees is Snow Board Director at one of the other areas near Salt Lake, so I think the chances are good we will have our turn to take a few more runs at Beaver Mountain when we come out to visit him.
