Chains or 4 wheel drive if it snows. March and April are known for some quick large spring storms that sneak up fast. Always a great idea to have 4 wheel drive our chains with you at all times when visiting Brian Head during the winter season. The drive from Vegas is beautiful! Heading up the mountain you can check the road conditions on the live cameras through downloading the UDOT app. Winds have never been a problem heading up the mountain road 143 unless it is snowing. Then the snow is more of an issue then the winds. Hope this helps.

Correct! Just chains for your car. And yes, there’s a bar at the bottom of Giant Steps lift and fire pits at the other lodge by Chair 6. Also, there’s a snow tubing place at the mountain, too. Great for anyone! Enjoy.

There is plenty of seating. Navajo lodge and giant steps lodge. Enjoy.

Thanks for your great question. Yes, the drive to Brian Head is super easy - freeway all the way to exit 75 at Parowan, Utah, and then it's just a quick 14 mile drive to Brian Head on SR 143. The road up the canyon only has one short steep pitch near the top of the canyon, and the rest of the drive is a breeze. The State Road Department also does an excellent job of keeping the canyon road clear during winter snow conditions. Thanks again for your question. We look forward to your visit.

That was our concern too this past Christmas considering I had altitude sickness in Colorado before (attempted to get to the peak within 2 days of arriving to Denver). I was very scared but it went well. Our family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children, are from FL and got to Las Vegas where spent few days and then drove to UT. We visited both Brian Head and Eagle Point (our family liked Eagle Point way better by the way). We didn't stay near the slopes and had to drive about 30-40 minutes each morning - no altitude sickness! First day skiing we felt tired and short in breath a little but it was manageable. Brian Head is closing for a season April 12th this year. I personally wouldn't go there in April, but it's me.

Thank you for your great question. Skiing in early December is a bit tricky to predict. Some years we have fantastic early-season snowfall, and other years are sometimes less favorable. So far this year, early-season snowfall has been a bit skimpy, but a significant storm is in the forecast for later this week. I would suggest you continue to follow our website for the latest conditions and plan your trip accordingly. Sorry I don't have a more definitive answer.

Thank you for your questions Clint. The best website to use for road conditions is the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) website . For Brian Head weather reports, I like using Weather Underground. Thanks again for your questions. We hope to see you soon!

Thank you for your great questions. Coming from Page, you have a couple of options to get to Brian Head. As you mentioned, driving through Hurricane during the winter months is a bit farther, but you do avoid potential winter road conditions. If weather conditions are favorable (which often times they are), the shortest route is to take Highway 89 to Highway 14 to Cedar City. From Cedar City, take Interstate 15 to exit 75, then it's just a short 15 mile drive to Brian Head. Due to the age difference in your children, you would need to book a private lesson if you would like them in the same class. Our Tiny Tracks class is for ages 5 and 6, and our Mountain Explorers class is for ages 7 to 12. We have found that the 5 and 6 year old students tend to progress better if they are not grouped with the older students. Thanks again for your questions. Please feel free to contact us if you need any additional information. We look forward to your visit!

Thanks for your great question! Yes, we will be open this season until April 21st. We've had an outstanding snow year this season, and more snow is in the forecast. Spring skiing conditions are excellent! We have the highest base elevation of any ski resort in Utah, which provides us with fantastic late-season conditions. All lifts and runs with full snow coverage are expected to be open until closing day. Thanks again for your great question. We look forward to your visit!
