Accommodations: Condominium/ Townhouse, 3 Bedrooms + Loft, 2.5+ Baths (Sleeps 10)
Come relax and play at our beautiful mountain condo. In the winter, snow skiing, snowboarding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, and sledding abound at Brian Head. The resort gets 350 inches of annual snowfall (often more) and is a mecca for winter sports and activities. The condo is only steps away from the Brian Head Ski Resort. Two new lifts opened this winter that are very easily accessible from our townhouse. It is a short walk to the new lifts and an easy slide back home.
The new lifts (1 & 8) allow you to access either the main mountain or the Navajo ski area from adjacent starting points at the end of our road. Lift 1 takes you over to Navajo Mountain. You can then ski back over the new interconnect bridge. Lift 8 takes you midway up the main mountain where you can access many runs and ski right down to Giant Steps lodge and lifts 2 & 3. Or if you prefer, take the new lift 8 onto the mountain to access the mid-mountain lifts (5 & 7) and the slopes they serve without ever going down to the base of the mountain.
The resort currently has 8 lifts on two mountains which are now linked by a skiable interconnect bridge. There is a large separate ski area for beginners on Navajo and a fantastic children's ski school program. Child care for younger children is also excellent at the resort. There is a giant snow tubing hill at the resort which is not to be missed. Snowmobile, ski/snowboard rentals are available at several locations very close to the condo.
In the summer and fall, Brian Head is known for mountain biking. Mountain Biking Trails criss-cross the area and several biking events are held throughout the warmer seasons. The ski lifts stay in service carrying riders and their bikes up the mountain to access the downhill biking trails. There are biking tours with shuttles available from several operators in the area. Summer and fall is also the time to take advantage of the beautiful National Parks and Monuments in the area. Breathtaking views and fantastic hiking opportunities can be found at Cedar Breaks National Monument (15 min. drive), Zion National Park (1 1/2 hour drive), and Bryce Canyon National Park (1 1/2 hour drive).
This condo sits on a small street at the base of the mountain with the town park, which has a small playground, just outside the front door and across the road. (This is also where the town bonfires and fireworks take place.) It is a spacious (approximately 1800 sq. ft. not including garage)two-story unit in a building with only 4 townhouse-style units. We do not have multiple listings, this is our one and only personal vacation home. On the lower level there is a living room with gas fireplace. There are leather sofas and a 42" flat screen TV. The kitchen is very large and well equipped, featuring quartz countertops and stainless appliances including a gas range. An eat-in bar links the kitchen to the dining room. An oversize square dining table seats at least 8. A 20" flat screen TV is mounted in the dining room (also with satellite access). A small bathroom/powder room and adjacent stacked washer/dryer completes the bottom level.
The top floor has a master bedroom with Wrought Iron Cal King bed. The master bath includes a corner jetted tub. A second bedroom contains a queen bed and a third bedroom (or "bunkroom") contains 2 sets of bunk beds (a double/single and a single/single). The large open loft area has an additional double bed. A full bath upstairs is shared by these sleeping areas.

Luxury Townhome, 3 BR + Loft, Best Location in Brian Head
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Brian Head
We had searched for several years for the perfect mountain property. Close to great skiing, family friendly, not overly developed or crowded, and beautiful year round. We had always loved Southern Utah for it's natural beauty and outstanding opportunities for outdoor recreation.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium/ Townhouse
Brian Head boasts some of the most impressive snow for skiing and snowboarding anywhere in the country but without the crowds or usual resort prices. It has our favorite children's ski programs of any resort we have visited. Brian Head is beautiful in the summer for hiking, mountain biking, or just enjoying the scenery. I love the location of our townhouse; the proximity to the lifts and to Giant Steps. The town pavillion and park is just across from our townhouse where there are frequently bonfires, bands, fireworks, or other small town celebrations. We love spending time in Brian Head and hope that you will enjoy it too.
