Ski Brighton, Utah
Visitors to Brighton will have the distinct pleasure of skiing atop 42+ feet of world-famous, bone dry Utah powder fluff. Expert and advances skiers would be wise to head directly to Scree Slope, Lone Pine, Spaghetti and Captain Hook in order to dodge and weave through 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. The resort offers a plethora of great deals and discounts throughout the season, including great prices on half-day, night ski and multi-day lift tickets.
Brighton Ski Resort has some of the most amazing terrain parks with some of the best features to be found anywhere in the West. Big Bertha is a 50’ tabletop that if you hit it just right will launch skiers more that 50’ into the clean Utah air. Brighton Ski Resort also houses the totally mind blowing 500’ long superpipe with immaculately groomed 14’ walls. There are a wide range of artificial features along the run which will challenge even the most seasoned freestyle skier to the best of their abilities. Candy Land features around 15 hits, rails and boxes. This Park is far too intense for beginners and children, they should head to the neophyte's park where they can practice on smaller and milder jumps, boxes, table tops and rails.
The resort, while remaining fairly low-key offers all the amenities found at other larger resorts. A ski and snowboard school, full service repair and rental shops, lockers, daycare, and shopping are just a few of the great services offered at the resort.
There are also plenty of great dining options right by the slopes which have the extra added attraction of also being quite affordable. The Brighton Chalet is a great place for a quick bite. Molly Green's is a members-only club which features superb food at very reasonable prices. However, the place to go for an enormous breakfast is Alpine Rose. The Silver Fork Lodge also has marvelous breakfasts and lunches at very reasonable prices, but its dinner menu is a bit more formal and costly.
In addition to great skiing there is a myriad of other activities to enjoy in and around Brighton. Intermountain Guide Service provides absolutely memorable guided tours deep into the backcountry on horseback or snowmobile. Motorized exploration on your own can be arranged through Homestead Snowmobiling and Snowmobile Adventures at Thousand Peaks. All Seasons Adventures are happy to arrange rock and ice climbing adventures throughout the season. The friendly staff at Brighton is happy to help plan and book your vacation and activities and also offer great ski and stay deals throughout the season.
