We saw that Beaver Resort was posting on their instagram #earnyourturns meaning the mountain is open but the lifts aren't running so you can either skin up the mountain (skis or split boards) or you can snowshoe like we did here. Man was it freakin tough haha. The snow quality wasn't great pretty tough icy layer that would break randomly and you'd fall through and get snagged. Fun day overall just could have been better.
