BRIAN HEAD, Utah — Brian Head Resort in southern Utah is rolling out $1.4 million in upgrades for the 2025–26 winter, from expanded snowmaking and new gladed trails to new rental equipment and updated guest rooms and amenities at the Brian Head Lodge.
Last winter, the resort recorded 181 skiable days, the longest season in its 60-year history, following improvements in snowmaking and grooming. This year, snowmaking has been expanded on Navajo Mountain, allowing more beginner and intermediate terrain to open earlier and stay open later.
A new gladed Kids Adventure Zone will also be added to Navajo Mountain, between the Navajo and Maryland Parkway trails, as part of the resort’s ongoing effort to create more family-friendly terrain. The newly gladed trail invites beginners to try tree skiing with fun features and local artwork.
Rental services are introducing more than 400 skis and 250 snowboards, including HEAD Performance Snowboards. Ski patrol is receiving four new snowmobiles and updated communications equipment to support on-mountain safety.
At Brian Head Lodge, guest rooms are receiving a refresh with updated décor, and the fitness center is being upgraded with new equipment to enhance the guest experience.
The 2025–26 season is scheduled to begin on Nov. 7, 2025, with daily operations from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. through May 10, 2026, weather permitting. Lift tickets are on sale now, starting at $14 on select dates. Children 12 and under ski free all season, with no purchase required or blackout dates.
