BRIAN HEAD, Utah – Southern Utah’s Brian Head Resort is scheduled to kick off its 60th ski season on Friday, November 8, with nearly $1.4 million in capital improvements, new trails, gladed terrain, and on-mountain celebrations. To boot, lift tickets are now on sale for as little as $19 a day.

During the 2024-25 season, Brian Head Resort will debut three new trails, including two beginner trails and one intermediate trail, bringing the total number of trails at the resort to 74. The new trails are the result of years of tree glading to help maintain a healthy forest. Families can also enjoy a fun tree run on a newly gladed adventure trail, situated in the trees between Navajo and Maryland Parkway trails on Navajo Mountain.

Resort officials said they have replaced over 2,400 feet of snowmaking line ready for the upcoming season and they’ve added new energy-efficient LED lighting and poles to improve visibility for night skiing.

The resort has also completely refurbished the ski patrol building at the top of the Giant Steps Express lift.

During the week of January 7, 2025, Brian Head Resort is celebrating its 60th anniversary with on-mountain activities and events. “We are thrilled to celebrate our 60-year milestone,” says Tom Pettigrew, general manager at Brian Head Resort. “This achievement is a testament to the support of our community, the dedication of our amazing team, and the loyal guests who have made Brian Head Resort a part of their winter traditions.”

• Guests can also take advantage of Power Kids, the only pass in North America offering unlimited free skiing for kids ages 12 and under, with no purchase required and no restrictions.
• Guests who purchase lift tickets in advance for dates between November 8 and May 4 will receive a $10 per day resort credit; some blackout dates apply. This credit can be used across the resort for food, beverages, lessons, tubing, and retail items at resort-owned shops and restaurants.
