Epic deals on lift tickets, lodging and more can be booked through the resort and many special discounts are offered throughout the season.

Parks and Pipes - Years before most resorts would even allow a snowboard onto their property, Brighton was developing terrain parks packed with great features to encourage an entire generation of snowboarders to take up the sport. In this case, Brighton proudly touts itself as a terrain park pioneer and to this day their parks remain some of the most impressive in the country. Big Bertha is a 30’-50’ tabletop that can launch snowboarders 50’ through the air. The superpipe is a complete monster, 500’ long with walls up to 14’. There are also dozens of other natural and manmade features on the run including some extremely challenging jumps, kickers, rails and tabletops. Head to the My-Oh-My section where you'll find three tabletops in a row, all with three different-sized lips which will get riders high into the air. Candy Land houses another dozen or so rails and boxes to play on perfect for intermediate boarders and freestyle skiers. There is also a beginner's park where neophytes can develop their skills on jumps, boxes, tabletops and rails suitable to their skill level.
