Brian Head Resort is thrilled to be the first ski resort in Utah to open for the 2024-25 winter season, welcoming skiers and snowboarders on Friday, November 8, at 10:00 a.m. with top-to-bottom skiing and snowboarding on Navajo Mountain.

This marks the second-earliest opening day in the resortโ€™s 60-year history. Brian Head Resort previously set its record in 2022 with a November 4 opening. Opening day terrain will feature four trails open with top-to-bottom skiing on the Paradise trail, in addition to the Strip, Freemont, and Easy Time trails.

The Navajo Lodge will be open, offering ski and snowboard lessons, equipment rentals, and a range of food and beverage options. A first-chair celebration will take place at 10:00 a.m. at the Navajo Express lift.

Brian Head Resort will open more terrain and lifts, including Giant Steps Mountain, as soon as conditions allow. Safety is a top priority when early-season conditions exist. Please be aware that snow coverage may be minimal and hidden obstacles may exist. Guests should refrain from venturing into areas that are closed.

After opening day, the resort will operate daily from November 8, 2024, through May 4, 2025, conditions permitting, with lifts running from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on weekends and peak days. Lift tickets are on sale now starting at $19 on select days in November, with kids 12 and under skiing and riding free all season.
