Elk Meadows

Situated to the north of Salt Lake City, Beaver Mountain isn't the biggest in Utah, but it certainly has a variety of slopes and lift tickets are inexpensive in comparison. The resort has 464 skiable acres, with mainly northeastern exposure for morning sun and avalanche-free conditions. The terrain can be steep in places with black runs out-numbering the greens and blues. If you're on a low budget and you're in the area, it's a great place to go.
