Brian Head Resort, Utah, announced today, December 7, 2023, that the resort has started spinning the Giant Steps Lift. The high-speed lift, also known as Lift 2, provides top to bottom skiing on the upper Sunburst and Lower Double Aught trails. The opening of the Giant Steps lift was possible thanks to natural snowfalls as well as recent upgrades of its snowmaking infrastructure on the Lower Aught trail. Brian Head invested over $500,000 into more efficient snow cannons as well as a new SnowCat PistenBully 400 Groomer.
