Passing Through: Brian Head
Skiing at Brian Head Resort is like skiing on the surface of Mars. But this southern Utah resort, located just miles from the iconic red rocks of Cedar Breaks National Monument and Zion National Park, is the highest in the state, with a base at 9,600 feet. The air is thin up there and the snow is dry, making Brian Head a must-visit on powder days. The best part? Without the notorious crowds endemic to the Wasatch, you can have fresh turns all day. The mountain is chock-full of expert terrain, the best of which you must hike to. It can be tricky with the altitude, maybe it’s best to stay a while and acclimate. Better set that out-of-office message.

Chasing Snowstorms in Southern Utah - Brian Head Resort
Chasing snowstorms in Southern Utah
The forecast was calling for an epic wind storm in Salt Lake City and for a decent sized snowstorm to develop in the desert southwest. So logically it called for a road trip. In a powder panic, Wednesday morning I rallied up the troops and got them all fired up for what I thought looked to be the makings of a pretty good storm down south. By noon Wednesday my plan was coming together and arrangements were being made and by 4 pm we were on the road. Cruising down Interstate 15 we were making great time, taking full advantage of those 80 mph speed zones but then about 40 miles north of our destination we ran right into the blinding snowstorm Quite abruptly our forward progress was stalled but we were not going to be denied. The snow packed roads couldn't deter us, they only added fuel to our powder crazed fire. We were stoked! It looked like the forecast was right, and we would most certainly be skiing powder in the morning. We were blazing the trail, straight up the access road, making first tracks the entire way up to Brian Head. We kept wondering to ourselves, are we going the right way? It's dumping up here, how is no one else on the way up?
Upon our arrival at the Cedar Breaks Lodge we were greeted by a solid 9 inches of snow and like I said it was dumping! The front desk clerk let us know, Boy are you guys lucky! There are only two other parties staying with us tonight, looks like it's going to be powder turns for you tomorrow. He wasn't kidding, the next morning we awoke to a solid foot or more of snow and by 10 am when the lifts started to turn, there were only three other cars in the parking lot. No joke, not only did we have first chair and first tracks but we had it all day long! Honestly, at the peak of the afternoon maybe there were 9 cars in the lot and I bet half of them were employees. At one point we joked as a monster group of two snowboarders passed, we all shouted, Hey get off our mountain, this is our place! Both groups got a good chuckle. So as the day continued on, we just continued to tear it up and the snow grew deeper and deeper. We were hearing stories that back in Salt Lake, the monster wind storm was panning out and winds were gusting to 100 mph! Well this was not the case at Brian Head, the snow was falling and the winds were calm, they were breezy up at the peak elevation of 11,000 feet but nothing that one wouldn't expect at the top of a peak during a snowstorm. While we were shooting the video we tried to find the windiest place on the hill, just to poke some fun at the extreme Salt Lake windstorm. Hopefully we succeeded...
Day two Friday morning, we woke up and guess what, it was still snowing. So once again we made our way over to the Giant Steps lift for the opening bell. Surprise, surprise we were first chair again. The only problem with Friday was the place got just ambushed by skiers and boarders. I'd have to guess there were at least 30 skiers and riders by midday Friday. Too funny.
I always wondered what it would be like to own my own chair lift on my own mountain. Now I don't have to wonder anymore. If all the snow down at Brian Head Resort isn't reason enough for you to head south for a few days, then seeing Cedar Breaks National Monument with your own two eyes, blanketed by a fresh coating of snow has to push you over the edge. The views are absolutely breathtaking! The drive is an easy five minutes or 2 miles south of the resort. It's a must see.
I need to give a special thanks Brett at the Cedar Breaks lodge for taking great care of us. Also, a special thanks to Bekah Stevens for taking such awesome photos of the crew in the pow!
*Weather Update* since returning home, Brian Head Resort received an additional 12-18 of snow on Friday night. Since Wednesday night we are talking 2-3 feet! With out a doubt Brian Head currently has the best skiing in the Western United States.

Parowan's Main Street is just a few blocks from the fire crew's headquarters of the Brian Head Fire -- and businesses are definitely feeling the impact. It's a city that's usually much busier on a summer day like today with tourists passing through. But, as News Specialist Caitlin Burchill reports, it has a much different look now.

Brian Head Fire threatens second resort community after doubling in size overnight ooo
Brian Head Fire threatens second resort community after doubling in size overnight
CEDAR CITY — With the Brian Head fire now close to 11,000 acres and more evacuations possible today, authorities are calling this the largest fire currently burning in the state.
Officials report that the fire made an 8-mile run Wednesday, more than doubling its size to 10,950 acres and prompting evacuations in Garfield County at Horse Valley, Clear Creek and Beaver Dam. Brian Head Town remains under evacuation orders.
Iron County Sheriff Mark Gower said more evacuations are planned today in Iron County in the Red Creek area. Authorities also plan to close the road from Paragonah to Bear Valley.
We want everyone out of there
“We are going to be closing the Red Creek area and evacuating everyone who is up there now camping and fishing. We will also be warning those who live up that way to be prepared to be evacuated at any time,” Gower said. “The fire is pushing that direction and moving into that area, and we want everyone out of there.”

A cool front has arrived in the area, bringing a shift in winds. Thursday morning, winds were 5-10 mph from the west and are expected to shift to the northwest this afternoon. Depending on the weather and associated winds, the fire could push toward Panguitch Lake.
Another red flag warning has been issued for the day.
While briefing crews this morning, Incident Commander Tim Roide stressed the extreme fire was “unprecedented.” Roide reminded the new personnel that public firefighting safety remained the top priority.
While stories and rumors have continued to flourish on social media over evacuations in Parowan City and other areas, Gower said that is not the case. He also warned the public against spreading rumors that only “create panic and complicates our job.”
Rumors are literally like wildfires the spread out of control
“Rumors are literally like wildfires the spread out of control, and it only makes things more difficult for us because then we’re having to deal with people scared and worried that they’re going to be kicked out of their homes,” Gower said.
Currently, the evacuation is in Parowan Canyon from milepost 7 to Brian Head.
Evacuations are all handled through the incident command center with local authorities responsible for notifying the public and press about any evacuations planned, Gower added.
