Brian Head Resort Introduces Ski and Snowboard Lessons Starting at $59

Brian Head Resort in southern Utah has had to turn away guests who wanted ski and snowboard lessons. This winter, it's changing its lesson program to accommodate more demand.

The resort has shortened group lessons from 2.5 hours to two hours, increasing daily lesson start times by 50%, from two to three. It's also adding one-hour private lessons and nighttime instruction, giving guests more flexibility to learn while leaving time to ski with family and friends.

Cost is another barrier for beginners. Brian Head offers adult group lessons starting at $59 during March and April, along with free introductory lessons for first-time skiers and snowboarders ages 13 and older on select dates.With group lessons starting at $59 throughout March and April, Brian Head Resort in southern Utah is introducing an expanded ski and snowboard lesson program for the 2026–27 season, offering more daily lesson start times and new instruction options.

New offerings also include one-hour private lessons, four-hour lesson options and private instruction during night skiing.

“We've had guests who wanted to take a lesson, but we simply didn't have room for everyone,” said Pierre Beney, manager of the Winter Sports School at Brian Head Resort. “We want more people to have the chance to learn, whether they're trying skiing or snowboarding for the first time or looking to improve a particular skill.”
