On our family holiday, the powder was light and fluffy. The trails were great with a wide variety of terrain. The restaurant and bar at the lodge were very good and even had a live band on Saturday night. Everybody was super friendly there. We will definitely go back to Brian Head this year! Roseann Lahey
