Harold Seeholzer (pictured to the left) loved skiing, loved the out-of-doors, and loved the snow. He and his wife Luella wanted to make a fun recreational place for their family to spend time in the winters. Little did he know that his desire for recreation would be such a landmark in Cache Valley now. He was a lather by trade, and Luella worked in a ladies clothing store to finance their dream.

The Logan Canyon road was opened to year-round traffic in 1939. During this time, Logan City owned a cable tow at the present site of Beaver Mountain.

It was not a successful operation for various reasons. The motor was at the top of the mountain and so every morning someone had to hike up to start it. There was no road into Beaver and skiers had to walk in from the highway. Because of the difficulties and inconvenience at Beaver Mountain, the ski operation was moved to the "Sinks" which is located a few miles farther up Logan Canyon.

In 1945, the tow operation at the "Sinks" was disposed of. Proposals were invited to take over the operation. Harold Seeholzer's proposal was accepted. In 1947 Tony Grove and again Beaver Mountain were considered as future ski area sites. Beaver Mountain was chosen, even though everyone concerned was aware of the problems ahead of them. Water and roads were needed badly, and no money was available. Through the efforts of El Ray Robinson, county commissioner, and others, the roads and water were obtained. Through financial and moral pledges made by the Mt. Logan Ski Club, the Forest Service, and Cache Chamber of Commerce and a monetary pledge by Harold and Luella Seeholzer, plans went into operation for the new rope tow and T-bar at Beaver Mountain.
