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.

The daily snow totals are on the top of every page.

Before you hit the slopes, agree upon a designated spot to meet if you get separated. If your young child has misplaced you, and is not at the designated greeting spot, snag any Brighton Employee (you'll see the Brighton logo on their jacket, sweater, vest, hat), and ask for help.

If you can't find one handy, go to the bottom of the hill and go to the Sports Desk (3rd floor of the Brighton Center), the cafeteria, or even the Sliding School and ask for help.

The employees will help your little one find you. Make sure you know what he or she is wearing, it will help identify them to the staff and employees.
