The resort features two interconnected mountains: Giant Steps for more advanced runs and terrain parks, and Navajo Mountain catering to beginners and families. Off the slopes, enjoy twilight skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, and tubing.

With its welcoming vibe, affordable lift tickets, and scenic backdrop, Brian Head is an unforgettable winter destination for skiers and snowboarders wanting something different in Utah.
