BIG NEWS! New Lifts, New Terrain New Experience New Brian Head Resort! After more than 20 years, Brian Head Resort is undergoing a dramatic expansion! Two new chairlifts and 35% more terrain are on schedule to be completed for the 2007-08 ski season.

Brian Head Resort has long been a hidden gem nestled in the southern Utah mountains. It is a relaxed, friendly place close to the nearby sleepy little towns of Parowan and Cedar City, a short distance off the mountain. Brian Head is surrounded by majestic views of red rock spires and warm-hued canyons, and is set in the heart of the Grand Circle of National Parks. Just a short 3 hour drive from Las Vegas you are in a different world. There have not been many big changes in the past 20 years, and this summer, without disrupting the serenity of Brian Head, a transformation is in progress. After years of careful planning, the resort is poised for dramatic expansion.

We have always enjoyed our two separate mountains, Giants Steps and Navajo, where people from the local region and surrounding desert climates escape to ski, snowboard, bike, hike and relax.

This summer Brian Head Resort is installing a new interconnect lift and ski trail system that will join the two mountains. Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities will now be able to enjoy both mountains by skiing/riding instead of driving. The Interconnect System consists of two new lifts and a ski-over bridge. Chair Lift #1 will cross over State Highway 143 to Navajo Mountain replacing the historic Chair Lift #1 that was removed from service in 1993. A new second chair lift, Lift #8 will start near the bottom of the new Lift #1, and will transport skiers to mid-mountain of Giant Steps. Skiers will cross over Highway 143 via the skier bridge under Chair Lift #1. The Interconnect System will expand the Resort’s existing trail capacity by nearly 35% and will allow skiers and snowboarders to circulate freely between Navajo and Giant Steps Mountains. The Interconnect System will also dramatically increase accessibility by creating expanded lift access to the entire Resort.

The entire interconnect project, including expanded snowmaking on many of the new runs, is on schedule to be completed by the start of the 2007/2008 ski season.
