This online reviewer said, "This Spring Break I had the opportunity to go to Las Vegas to see my sister. While we were there she took us to Brian Head for a night. Being a southern girl from Mississippi I was in heaven with all of the snow. We arrived at night and stayed up late playing games. The next day we went out to ski and go tubing. Unfortunately, because I was a beginner, my sister and I couldn't ski on the same slope so I opted to go tubing with my boyfriend. That was a blast. You wouldn't think a 26 years old and 32 year old would have so much fun just riding down a hill on a tube, but we did. There were people of all ages and it only cost $7 for two hours. Trust me, you won't need to hours unless you are 10. We made it about 45 minutes before we called it quits. Ironically, while we were there we met a family from Oxford, MS (where we live). This is only a town of 10,000 and eight of them were in Brian Head. My sister and her friend spent the day skiing. From their opinions, which are trust worth because they both ski a lot, I gathered that this is a great place to ski. We could have just gone 30 minutes to another mountain, but they opted for the 3 hour trip because it's so much better. If you get bored with all that you can go up the street to Cedar Breaks. Talk about amazing. You can see for miles. I'm not sure I can begin to relay how gorgeous all those snow capped mountains where. All in all, Brian Head was great. One warning, the town DIES at night so bring your own entertainment. But if you want a gorgeous get away spot, Brian Head is the place.''
