Spring may be well underway and several Utah resorts have wrapped up for the season, but Brian Head Resort isn’t ready to call it a season just yet. The Utah resort picked up more than three inches of fresh snow this week, with additional snowfall expected — giving late-season skiers and riders another reason to keep their gear out.
Currently, Brian Head has 43% of its terrain open, with six lifts serving 32 trails. The resort plans to remain open through May 10, weather permitting, offering a solid window for spring laps under softer conditions. Lift operations are running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays and 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends.
“The fresh snow is a welcome boost, and we’re incredibly grateful for the support our guests have shown throughout the season,” said Amber Palmer, marketing manager at Brian Head Resort. “We’re equally grateful for our team, whose hard work every day keeps the mountain running and gives our guests the freedom to ski late into spring.”
The resort is also leaning into the spring vibes with upcoming events. This Sunday, April 5, Brian Head will host its annual Easter egg hunt at Navajo Lodge, kicking off at 9:15 a.m. Kids can search for hundreds of eggs hidden in the snow near the Kids Camp conveyor area.
With fresh snow, fewer crowds, and a calendar pushing into May, Brian Head is proving that the season isn’t over everywhere in Utah just yet. The resort was the first to open in the State this season and looks like it might be the one closing last.
Brian Head Resort is the highest ski resort in Utah, with a base elevation of 9,600 feet and a summit reaching 11,307 feet. Despite its relatively compact size, the resort offers over 650 acres of skiable terrain across two connected mountains, Navajo and Giant Steps. It is serviced by eight lifts and features a mix of beginner-friendly slopes and more advanced terrain, making it a popular destination for families as well as experienced skiers looking for high-altitude conditions and reliable snow late into the season.
