The resort also offers spa treatments, sleigh rides, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and snow tubing (6 lanes to choose from). In addition, there is a wide variety of lodging and dining options available.

Family Travel Forum recently honored Brian Head Resort as a "Top Family Getaway for Family Travelers." Fun - Affordable - Uncrowded (even though an adult day pass is only $40), probably one of the best kept skiing and snowboarding secrets in the southwestern states...
