Development and construction are currently underway for a new master-planned ski-in, ski-out mountain resort community at Brian Head Resort, which will not only introduce new neighborhoods but may also include expanded skiing terrain, additional lifts and enhanced year-round recreational opportunities, according to a news release issued by Aspen Meadows Group.

Located just under Brian Head Peak, the highest peak in Iron County, Aspen Meadows is a
legacy, multi-decade, master-planned mountain resort and residential neighborhood that
occupies nearly 2,000 acres of aspen and fir forests and spacious mountain meadows. Its
location is adjacent to Brian Head Resort, home to Utah’s highest base elevation.

The unique location of the community will introduce a third base area for the ski area, which will include a village center and lodge that feature unobstructed views of Southern Utah’s famous red cliffs, additional parking and skier services. The Aspen Meadows plan includes opening up more than 850 acres of new skiing terrain and up to seven fixed and high-speed detachable lifts.

“Aspen Meadows is truly a special collection of alpine lands, with the perfect slope aspects for
ski terrain never before seen by most visitors to this region of southern Utah,” A. Flint
Decker, president of the Aspen Meadows Group, said in the news release. “We’re proud to be a part of this new chapter in our community’s history as we share new ski terrain and resort amenities with the town of Brian Head and the guests of Brian Head Resort.”

News of this community comes in conjunction with Brian Head Resort’s record-breaking winter
season, which has included the resort’s earliest opening in history and some of the best
conditions in the country, Brian Head general manager Marilyn Butler said in the release

“From the moment we opened on November 4, we knew this season would be special, and the
Aspen Meadows vision has only added to our team’s excitement,” Butler said. “Together, we will advance our purpose of Giving People the Freedom to Ski while expanding both our winter and summer operations in the future.”

In addition to expanded skiing, Aspen Meadows plans include new hiking and mountain biking
trails.

Development and construction of the Aspen Meadows master plan are currently in process with
its first two dedicated ski-in, ski-out neighborhoods, the Southeast neighborhood and Christmas Tree neighborhood, and its initial road network, well and utility infrastructure.
