Beaver's Revenge is a short, moderate cross-country ski route in Colorado's Boulder Ranger District, part of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests. It is a 0.12-mile outing that gains about 10 feet in elevation and has a total loss of 46 feet, making it a low-stakes outing for skiers who want to add a few minutes to their time on the trails. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Boulder run from highs around 28°F and lows near 12°F in January and February to highs around 47°F and lows near 26°F in October. The station sits about 500 feet higher than the route, so temperatures on the trail run a little warmer. Two other cross-country ski routes, Mill Iron and Annie B., lie about 0.1 mile away. Eldora Summer Slab, a climbing area, is about 1.5 miles off, and West Magnolia campground is about 2.7 miles away.
