Inside Scoop

Reviews

Joseph Stratemeier

Brian Head is the best way for skiers and riders to experience legendary Utah snow without the prices, crowds, and driving hassle of the Cottonwoods. The resort has a fair amount of beginner and intermediate terrain with wide-open groomers and wide-spaced trees. The scenery is pretty special for a ski resort due to its proximity to Zion and Bryce Canyon Natl. Parks. It's like skiing in the desert. The snow is classic Utah dry powder, and cold temps keep snow soft and light days after a storm. The totals might not be as much as Alta or Snowbird, but on par with most Colorado resorts. Upper-level terrain is lacking, althought the Giant Steps side is more of a challenge than the Navajo side. The resort can get pretty cold due to the high evelation, with highs dipping into the single digits during the middle of the winter season. Ticket prices are hard to beat anywhere in the West.
