Did you know that Brian Head is the highest resort in Utah with an elevation of 9,800 ft? The annual average snow is 400 inches of light, fluffy, beautiful Utah powder. Brian Head Resort has two mountins with runs from beginner to advanced including a snowboarding park.
Unless you have been here you may not know anything about the people that live here, the flavor of a relaxed resort community and the unique beauty that is found around every corner here.
Sure Brian Head Resort is unbelievably close to Las Vegas and you may have already heard that the Family Travel Forum has honored Brian Head as a top family getaway. The lines are just about always short (or even non-existent) and the amenities that you would come to expect with a small alpine community would be available in this little community.
How about a little history? Did you know this beautiful resort began in 1964 with a T-bar, chairlift and a warming hut? Before that, around the turn of the last century, the community was known as "Monument Peak". No one knows why or even how the name changed to Brian Head. The area is rich with history and plenty to see or do no matter what time of year it is.
If you thing is being able to get right on the lift and not have to wait around in lines, cut some fresh powder and maybe at the end of the day relax in a hot tub with a warm beverage and visit with friends, then this is your kind of town. A word of caution though, this little town can get in your blood, why else do we see the same visitors we have seen for years bring their friends and now we are lucky that their children are now bringing their families after vacationing here while they were young.
Brian Head is about having a great time while creating and sharing memories. I think that says it all.
