Brian Head, UT

I am not sure what your New Year’s Eve activities are, but if you’re in the Brian Head or Cedar City area, you may wish to head up to Brian Head. They are hosting fireworks, a party and one of the more interesting aspects, the Torch Parade.

Skiers ski down the mountain holding torches. I will be honest, we almost always go to Northern Utah to spend time with my siblings for a belated Christmas celebration and get together. This year is no exception, so we are going to miss the parade. The photos that I have seen of this event are amazing.

There are lines of lighted torches coming down the mountain long after the sun has set. It really looks cool in photos! This is something that they do every year, so maybe next year we will be able to attend! It should be noted here as well, they really know how to party in Brian Head, so it really should be a lot of fun!

I didn't want to steal someone else's photo of the Torch Parade, so I am using this photo of the bottom of one of the ski runs in Brian Head.

I am surprised to say that it is that time of year again. Brian Head Ski Resort opens for the Season today! It seems a little early, but I am sure that the avid skiers and snow boarders have been waiting for to them what seems like an eternity to hit the slopes. That day is here and there is even a chance that the resort will receive some fresh powder this weekend.

I have never been much of a skier, but I hear that is a good thing when you have fresh powder. For information on pricing and times contact: www.BrianHead.com

Brian Head last Ski Season

Yes it is already that time of the year! Brian Head is hosting Oktoberfest! Beginning at Noon on Saturday September 17^th , and going until 8 PM at the Navajo Lodge. Come up and enjoy!

There will be Authentic German Food, music, fun and of course beverages! Brian Head is such a beautiful setting for this festival! Come early and have fun!

Darcy and I were up in Brian Head last Thursday. We took some great photos of a really nice cabin as well as some other interesting things to use for blog posts. It is that time of year, and last week Brian Head had a base depth of 85 inches of snow. There have been a couple of small storms come through, but I don't have an updated snow total.

For those of us who don't ski, tubing may fit the bill. As you can see from this photo, you can do both at Brian Head!

It was a gorgeous day on the slopes, so come up and enjoy!

Here in Utah, Thanksgiving Weekend is the kick off for the Ski Season. Brian Head is no different, it already has one run open, is making snow on another run and expecting a storm of estimates of 1 to 2 feet of fresh powder tonight and tomorrow. All of this means that Brian Head is poised to have a great opening weekend, provided the storm clears out enough to get there!

I will be honest, I am not a skier, never have been, but it does look like the skiers and snowboarders were having a good time this afternoon.

Here are some photos:

Brian Head is only around 30 miles from Cedar City, it is close enough for a day trip!
