Brighton and Solitude Ski Vacation Experience
When you come to Brighton you'll be skiing atop a stunning 42 feet plus, or 505 amazing inches of that patented bone dry Utah powder fluff. 42 feet is an amazing amount of snow. You could easily bury a city bus standing up on its rear bumper! Experts will want to skip the formalities and go directly to Scree Slope, Lone Pine, Spaghetti and Captain Hook to dodge the trees. Other amazing expert only runs include Hard Coin off the Snake Creek Express, Sawbuck, Endless Winter, Doyle's Dive, Pacific Highway, Rein's Run, Clark's Roost, True Grit, and Tantamount. Intermediates will love Pioneer, Golden Needle, Scout and Hawkeye, while beginners will be able to choose from easy, safe runs like Main Street, Lost Maid, and Mary Back, and lots more fun is to be had at Solitude!
Brighton Ski has some of the most amazing features to be found anywhere in the West. Big Bertha is a 50 foot tabletop that if you hit it just right will get you 50 feet of clean air. When you thought it couldn't get any wilder, Brighton Ski's totally mind blowing 500 feet long superpipe is next with its immaculately groomed 14 foot walls. Then you can go on to about 20 artificial features on this run which will challenge the most experienced skiier to the absolute maximum of their abilities. When you want more, the My-Oh-My section features three table tops in a row which will get you about 25 feet of air. The amazing run continues out to Candy Land which features about 15 hits, rails and boxes. All of this is way too intense for the beginner and child skiier who will be much happier over at the neophyte's park where they can practice on smaller and milder jumps, boxes, table tops or rails which are perfectly suitable to their skill level.
When you're good and hungry there are plenty of fine options right by the slopes which have the extra added attraction of being very affordable so you can treat the whole family without busting the budget. The Brighton Chalet is a great place for that quick bite so you can get back to the slopes in a hurry; Molly Green's has superb food at very reasonable prices; and the place to go for an enormous breakfast has to be Alpine Rose. The Silver Fork Lodge has marvelous breakfasts and lunches at very reasonable prices, but be aware that at dinner time the prices skyrocket.
Intermountain Guide Service provides absolutely memorable guided tours deep into the backcountry on horseback or snowmobile. If you would rather do the motorized exploration on your own, Homestead Snowmobiling and Snowmobile Adventures at Thousand Peaks are the hot setups where you can rent powerful single-rider supersports snowmobiles or larger milder ones that you can take the kids on for amazing rides through unspoiled meadows and valleys. If you've always wanted to try your hand at rock or ice climbing, just contact All Seasons Adventures and they'll be happy to hook you up with some awesome vertical faces.
