For more than 70 years Brighton has set the bar high providing a quality mountain experience at a great value. Brighton is Utah’s only resort that can boast that 100% of its terrain is accessible by high speed quads. Our five quads, one triple and magic carpet service 1,050 acres and 1,875 vertical feet of incredible Utah skiing. Other... amenities include The New Millicent Chalet, three additional day lodges, high quality rentals, top notch ski and snowboard school, lockers, cafeterias, a pub, frequent public bus transportation from many points in downtown Salt Lake City and park & ride lots around the valley. What’s more, kids 7 and under ski and ride free.
The mountain averages 500 inches of snow a winter. The snow is traditionally light, fluffy and dry making it a paradise for riders and skiers. Brighton is located directly in the path of winter storms and it is also at the very top of Big Cottonwood Canyon so it gets the very best of the “greatest snow on earth,” and lots of it. Read more

Love Brighton--it snowed during our stay, which was awesome! The ski/ride instructors are the best and everyone is so friendly. Even though we were there on a weekend, the lifts never had real long lines. Our boys were fine and felt comfortable riding is all areas of the resort. They especially loved the tree trails and parks. Would definitely recommend to others.

We found Brighton to have the best snow in the Salt Lake City area, although it is starting to get a little icy by mid-day.

The Crest Express and my 8 and 11 year old beginners, sixth time, are a great combination. We went Saturday night for the last night of the season and had fantastic snow! From run to run you could see the skills and the confidence improve. The terrain, the high speed lift, almost no lines, friendly crowd and the rental shop all combined to give us a lot of skiing. Thanks Brighton! A great family memory.

Utah AWESOME yesterday!!!
Steep and deep.
We felt like we were in a Utah Ski Commercial All Day long. Fresh Tracks all day long as the snow just kept falling. We were waist deep in the real stuff Utah Pow Pow!!! Yeoooh!
Make sure and try the steeps to the right off the top of the Snake!!!

Loads of fun for all levels. Incredible powder off the Milly lift runs & if you like the trees there are plenty to board around.

Of the four resorts in LCC and BCC Brighton is probably the best overall for a beginner or intermediate. For an advaced skiier you will find great skiing on powder days in the trees or nearby slack country. This hill is most visted by the bright outfitted park crew, leaving the steeps and pow to the others! However, if you want good steeps Brighton is the worst choice of the 4 nearby resorts.

I use this resort exclusively. It's simplicity makes it the most attractive of the resorts. I cant get enough of the place. It's a problem.

brighton is a good park. i only run green and blues, but the tracks are very wide so even when it is packed you dont run over little kids. its a good mix of downhill and semi flat land.

I really liked Brighton. It has nice powder, trees and groomed runs. The only drawback is some spots are flat.

If you want to ride a mountain that you can feel like you are by yourself om the mountain then go mid-week.

Brighton is sick! Super fun terrain and pow turns a day and a half after it snowed. The place was empty compared to my home resorts in Cali. I can't wait to get back.
