Amazing! Hidden gem of ski resorts! I almost don't want to leave a review because it was so great I want to keep it to myself! Tons of lifts and runs. Lots of skill level terrain. Friendly staff. Spring skiing was awesome because the place wasn't crowded at all.... More

Brian Head is the typical resort geared to attract families and beginners. It has a few lifts for the more experienced skiers but it will not be a challenge if you are an expert. Lodging is affordable and reasonable. Food options are not very ample. In fact, I'd recommend to bring your own food and you'll even save money.... More

Great little home town resort! You feel like a local anywhere you go. The best part is that you can be skiing and having a great day, then drive just over an hour and be warm in the St. George sun!... More

This is my hometown resort. It has been a hidden gem for years and is gaining popularity. Good Utah snow. The runs aren't the longest, but there very good features with a variety and is usually not too crowded. Friendly, fun inviting atmosphere. I love Brian Head.... More

Brian Head's my hometown resort, so it always holds a special place in my heart. I love all the Wasatch resorts though. Have never had a bad day on a Utah mountain.

Great resort. Good skiing and boarding for all skill levels. When ever I have been there the lines have never been too long. The staff is kind and quick to assist.
