Brian Head Resort Opening Day

Brian Head Resort, the ski area above Cedar City and the closest to St. George, has scheduled its 2026-27 opening day for Friday, November 6, 2026. The resort says winter operations begin November 6 and run seven days a week until the snow is gone, and it is advertising lift tickets from $9 for early purchases. Brian Head has not posted lift hours for opening day, and terrain on day one depends on snowmaking and natural snow, so check the resort's hours and conditions pages before making the drive up Highway 143.
