Free Lift Tickets for Military on Martin Luther King Day 2012 at Utah’s Brian Head Resort

Free Brian Head Resort lift tickets will be provided to all active duty military personnel, National Guard and Reservists on Martin Luther King Day, Monday, January 16, 2012.

In the Rocky Mountains of Southern Utah, Brian Head will offer free skiing and snowboarding to all those presenting appropriate military identification at the ticket window. This represents a savings of $56, the price of a holiday full-day adult lift ticket at Brian Head, perhaps the best-kept skiing and snowboarding secret in the Southwestern United States. Free lift tickets are limited to one per person.

“Brian Head wants to honor and thank those who serve our country,” said Brian Head’s Sales, Marketing and PR Manager, Jon Christoffersen. “They put themselves in harm’s way to protect our freedom. Skiing and snowboarding allows these men and women a chance to relax and unwind like few activities do.”
