Brighton is the bomb. It's such an incredible place to ski and snowboard. They get amazing snow (and lots of it) and have a wide variety of terrain for all skill levels.
Brighton is a great resort. It has a reputation for being more snowboard friendly, but there are many skies here also. Honestly it is better for skiers because there are a bunch of flat and uphill spots that are pretty difficult on a snowboard.
There are two restaurants in the buildings at the base that sell standard American food that tastes OK, but is over priced just like any ski resort.
Brighton has a bunch of terrain park features that they move around and in addition to making snow features.
Brighton has a good mix of easy and difficult runs and they stay open late for night skiing which can be convenient.
Brighton is a good place to ski or board.
This is a great local place to go. When the other resorts had no snow they were open to 10k ft. Had a great time on the well groomed trails but still plenty of powder to play around on! Look forward to going back!
I love Brighton! They have amazing snow and runs. Great friendly staff! I'd recommend anyone to go here! Always check the roads online before you go as sometimes 4x4 or chains are required and police WILL check your car as you go in the canyon!
Be sure to check out Great Western lift and Milly express as both are amazing!
If you are a snowboarder then I would highly recommend this resort. They have great back country and other runs that you will enjoy. They have season pass sales that go on early in the year and would be a great place to get one!!
I have snowboarded at Brighton for decades. It never disappoints. Great terrain, fast chairs, excellent snow seriously, what else could you possibly ask for!
Learned to ski Wasatch powder here. Excellent variety of terrain for all levels of skier. Some of the best resort tree skiing i've ever experienced. Outstanding staff.
My fiancé only snowboards Brighton. From the trails, to the snow, to the just incredibly helpful staff, he's never had a complaint about the resort. Me personally, I think Brighton is beautiful without the snow. Going up there is always a nice reprieve from the city.
Amazing views of the mountains. Reasonable prices for what is offered at the resort. I will definitely be coming back for reasons too numerous to list. Very pleased.
Beautiful slopes, family and novice-friendly, well maintained, and pleasant staff. Our first visit to the Western mountains was a huge success and we will be back! Lots of green and blue trails to keep us busy and seeing new things both days we were there. Got passes early at the ski rental place and we're able to start immediately upon arrival!
Where the locals go. If you want variable terrain, with lots of places to explore, good parks, excellent snow (like, some of the best in the world), and lots of natural features, Brighton nails it all. Of course many Utah resorts are excellent, but Brighton is my favorite and they have plenty of deals to go along with their world class ski/boarding. There are lots of boarders, (not a problem at all for me, but some pretentious skiers don't like it).
I went up to the Brighton resort to do the three lakes hike however there was still a lot of snow so i decided against it. It was my first time up there and it was cool to see the skiers and snowboarders doing their thing. The ski and snowboard rental place was well kept and has plenty of drying off areas. Next time I head up there I'll make sure to explore more of what Brighton has to offer and from what I saw I know I'll have a good time.
Great resort. All of the lifts are very nice and most of them have foot rests. They slow down as you get on and off, which is very helpful to beginners. Their passes work with a card you put in your pocket so you don't have to pull anything out to have scanned. Very convenient. The runs are very nice and wide with a variety of hills. There are also lots of areas to ski/board through the trees.
Consider this the top quality of small family resorts. Snow is always good, food is OK, employees are nice but (this is good) most are core snowboarder and skiers. Which gives this place its charm and nostalgic theme. Ski school is super cheap, $115 full day includes beginner lift ticket and rentals. Best part is you don't feel poor if you are not wearing $2,000 worth of ski clothes and brand new equipment.
I LOVE Brighton Ski Resort! I signed up to take lessons there and then stayed to ski after. They have lots of great runs, whether you're a beginner or more experienced. The runs are well marked. The instructor was really nice and really knew her stuff. And the snow is just amazing. Finally, the prices at Brighton make it possible even for those of us who aren't rich to enjoy skiing and snowboarding. It's the best resort in Utah!
