Southern Utah's Brian Head Resort is flying high after a banner ski season, racking up 181 days of riding during winter 2024/25. The resort drew attention thanks to its $19 lift tickets and long-lasting season, which went all the way through early May. But there's more good news this year.

Following the announcement of their 2025 opening day, which will be held on November 7, the resort revealed it will be introducing many improvements for the upcoming winter, from new runs to decreased ticket prices.

The $1.4 million in capital investment is being distributed to many areas around the ski area. New snowmaking capabilities on Navajo Mountain will allow more beginner and intermediate terrain to open much earlier in the season, and stay skiable for longer. In an additional effort to expand this area, the resort has gladed several new runs for more accessible tree skiing.

Untracked runs and an underrated massive park; two big reasons to visit Brian Head this winter

Perhaps the most eye-grabbing announcement comes as the resort debuts $14 lift tickets on select dates. This marks a decrease from last year's incredibly affordable price of $19, as Brian Head might be the only resort in the country with a 26% decrease in average ticket prices year over year. Supplies are limited, so make sure you take advantage of this affordable offer while you can!

Other important developments include an additional 400 skis and 200 snowboards added to the rental fleet, updated interior of guest rooms and a new fitness center at the Brian Head Lodge, and four new snowmobiles for ski patrol, along with new communication equipment for patrol use.

While Brian Head doesn't boast the same snow totals and steeps that other Utah ski areas are known for, it's certainly worth a visit for its charm and lack of crowds. Pow will stay untracked for days after a storm, and their terrain park is easily one of the most underrated we've encountered.
