Thanks to Brian Head Resort’s high elevation base (the highest in Utah at 9,600-foot), the resort has been able to preserve late-season coverage and outlast many of their fellow Beehive State ski resorts. The resort also received 3 inches of snow this week and colder temperatures allowed the snowmaking crews fire up the snowguns and provide additional manmade coverage at Giant Steps ahead of closing weekend.
“One more day to the season? We think so. We are officially hosting a bonus day this Friday, May 1, with $1 lift tickets for everyone. Being at the highest base elevation in Utah has its perks—the coverage is still great and the vibes are even better. We’ve made snow twice this week and had an additional 3” of freshies! Come for the $1 skiing on Friday, stay for the costumes, raffles on Saturday, donuts on Sunday. Let’s celebrate 160 days of winter together!”
