Brighton is all about the big four: snow, grooming, terrain, and learning how to love skiing and riding more.

Snow
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.

Grooming
Brighton’s grooming is five star. It is consistently top quality. Beginner runs are groomed nightly. Intermediate trails are groomed nightly, except for a few obscure trails which are groomed as needed. And for the experts, main runs are groomed, but most is left au naturale for those who like their powder deep without any fuss. The grooming report is posted daily.

Terrain
Brighton’s trump card. Perhaps it is the only mountains where friends or families can ride together on the same lift and then peel off onto different trails – beginner, intermediate, or expert – and all meet at the bottom to ride the lift together again.

Most skiers and riders stick to the immaculately groomed trails, but there are trees and chutes, cliffs and natural terrain parks all within bounds for those who like white knuckle terrain.

Freestyle riders and skiers enjoy Brighton's 4 Terrain Parks. Starting at our My-O-My run you can enjoy a full top to bottom terrain park run. Its has features for all abilities. And the terrain park crew keeps moving the features around so the challenge keeps changing.

Brighton has the most night skiing terrain in Utah with 22 runs on over 200 lighted acres.

Learning
Brighton is famous for its Ski and Snowboard School. It is known as “The place where Utah learns to ski and ride and keeps on learning.” It has earned that reputation because of its consistent dedication to the students. Brighton’s Ski and Snowboard School has private lessons, daily group classes for every ability level of skiers and riders, and specialty series for kids, women, seniors, and much more.

In addition:
Brighton does minimal advertising, so out-of-towners usually learn about Brighton from their friends or they learn about it while soaking in a hotel’s hot tub with other skiers and riders who had a great day at Brighton.
