The Skiers' Guide to Brian Head Resort: Expert Analysis & Reviews

My boyfriend and I recently visited Brian Head Ski resort. What I love about this resort is that it had two sides, one more beginner friendly, where we ended up going because it was his first time snowboarding. The lifts were great and the variety of trails were also beautiful. Looking out from the top of the lift, it was amazing to see the red rocks out in the distance. The price is what really sold us on coming, our tickets were $50-60 for our stay and we were on the mountain all day. As broke college students, we were super glad that the affordability gave us the opportunity to come, as our local resort would have been much more expensive. The lines were also very efficient and quick, which we appreciated. I also found it great that when buying tickets online, we were given resort credit which we could spend on food AND merchandise. Being from California, the prices were better here and everything was very reasonably priced and economic for a ski resort. The city is super small, so I would recommend grocery shopping down the mountain as prices are also way better. The rentals were also a great price and the equipment was fairly new, which I appreciated. The staff was super friendly and helpful, and we really enjoyed our time there. I am looking into going back again so that we can ski the harder slopes on the other side of the mountain. They had lifts on that side that were a walk from the AirBnB we stayed at which was super cool. I'd gladly make the 7 hour drive again, it was so much fun and super budget friendly. If you are a family with kids, looking for less crowded resorts, or are on a budget, I would really recommend this resort!

Great resort in Southern Utah! Even in bad snow years like this year, their ability to open and provide full access to most, if not all, of the available terrain is unmatched. Highly suggest giving them a try

Went here for my first time and had a blast! Great price, not too crowded. My instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. The runs were really fun and felt like the perfect balance for a beginner on the runs I went on. the food was a bit overpriced (as is too be expected) but the portion sizes were great. The wait for the lift was 5 minutes max so that was nice.
