Your Guide to Making the Most of Your Brighton Season Pass

MAKE EVERY DAY A RIDE DAY

Afternoon Access With Zero Blackout Dates

NEW FOR 2026/27: All passholders can ride after 2pm any day with no blackout dates, perfect for:

• quick afternoon laps
• after-work sessions
• full evenings under the lights

However your schedule looks, Brighton is built to fit the way people actually ride.

PASSHOLDER PARKING

How to Make It Work for You

Parking is built to keep things moving while giving passholders real access throughout the season. Here’s how to make it work for you.

YOUR PASSHOLDER ACCESS

Season passholders can:

• hold up to two free parking reservations at a time
• book additional days as soon as one reservation is used
• access passholder-only inventory

We’ve made a lot of progress with parking. Shaped by passholder feedback, the system today is built to give you more flexibility and a clearer plan before you head up. It’s not about limiting access—it’s about knowing you’ve got a spot before you make the drive.

WHEN RESERVATIONS BECOME AVAILABLE

Parking reservations are released:

• pre-season (very limited release, primarily for out of town guests)
• weekly (limited weekend inventory, Mondays @ 6pm MST)
• daily (the day before your visit @ 8am & 2pm MST)

Availability shifts often as plans change, so if you don’t see your date right away, it’s always worth checking back. Seeing limited availability early doesn’t reflect what will open up closer to your ski day.

WHY IT LOOKS SOLD OUT (AND ISN’T)

Early in the week—or early in the season—it can look like everything’s booked out. In reality, most parking inventory hasn’t been released yet. Parking opens in waves, with the majority becoming available closer to when you plan to ride.

TIMING YOUR ARRIVAL

On weekends and holidays, parking reservations are required until 12pm.

After 12pm:

• parking becomes first come, first served
• no reservation is needed

Midday (roughly 11am–2pm) tends to be the busiest window, with guests arriving for afternoon and twilight laps. Planning around that window—earlier or later—can make a noticeable difference.

WHAT “RESERVATION EXPIRED” ACTUALLY MEANS

If you see a message that your parking reservation has “expired” after 12pm, it does not mean your parking spot is gone.

It simply means:

• reservations are no longer required for entry
• the lot has shifted to first come, first served

If you’re already parked, you’re set for the rest of the day.

PLAN YOUR ARRIVAL

Before heading up, check the PARKING or CONDITIONS pages for the latest updates.

You’ll find:

• whether reservations are required that day
• current lot status (full or filling)
• canyon restrictions or updates

These tools help you plan ahead and avoid getting turned around at the loop.

SKIP THE DRIVE

Free UTA Ski Bus Access

If you’d rather skip parking altogether, your pass includes free access to the UTA Ski Bus.

With multiple pickup locations across the valley and direct drop-off at the resort, it’s one of the easiest ways to:

• avoid canyon traffic
• skip parking logistics
• get straight to the lifts

MORE THAN JUST WINTER

Same Pass, New Season

Your pass doesn’t stop when the snow melts.

Season passholders can take advantage of summer access at Brighton, including:

• scenic chairlift rides
• mountain biking
• hiking and disc golf

It’s a way to keep the mountain part of your routine year-round. Purchase before May 29 and your Summer Season Pass is included. After that, summer access is available as a discounted add-on.

PASSHOLDER DISCOUNTS

Savings Across the Resort

Your pass comes with savings across the resort throughout the season.

Passholders receive:

• 10% off dining (excluding alcohol)
• 15% off retail
• 15% off rentals
• 25% off lodging on select dates, based on availability

Discounts are applied at the time of purchase when presenting a valid Brighton Season Pass.

BRING YOUR GO-TO RIDE CREW

Share the Stoke for Less

Every season pass includes 10 Buddy Passes, giving your friends and family access to discounted lift tickets.

NEW FOR 2026/27: Unlimited Season Passholders get a complimentary full-day lift ticket to share during early and late season windows.

It’s an easy way to share a day at Brighton.

WHERE WINTER STICKS AROUND

Snow Conditions at the Top of Big Cottonwood

Brighton is built for a full season.

With higher elevation, strong snowmaking, and terrain that holds up deep into spring, conditions here tend to stay consistent longer especially compared to lower elevation resorts.

And when the season starts to wind down, we don’t just call it—we build it. Brighton’s “bonus season” tradition means staying open as long as conditions allow, with primary lifts spinning and a top-to-bottom terrain park built for sunny, slushy laps that feel like a whole new mountain.

REAL-TIME MOUNTAIN UPDATES

Conditions, Lifts & Trails

Knowing what’s spinning (and what’s not) can make all the difference in your day.

The CONDITIONS page is your go-to for real-time updates, including:

• lift status
• trail openings and closures
• terrain park updates
• daily operations

A dedicated team works throughout the day to keep this information as accurate and up to date as possible.

On days with changing weather or avalanche mitigation, timing can shift. When that happens, updates will follow as quickly as possible so you can plan your next lap with confidence.

RIDE WITHOUT LIMITS

Perks Exclusive to the Unlimited Pass

The Unlimited Pass is exactly what it sounds like. Ride open to close, every day of the season, with no blackout dates getting in the way.

Beyond Brighton, it opens things up even more. You’ll also get:

• one complimentary full-day lift ticket to bring a friend during early and late season
• access to the Wasatch Benefit (now including Snowbasin) with weekday tickets at select Utah resorts
• days at Boyne sister resorts across North America

More days here. More days everywhere.

PAY YOUR WAY

Flexible Payment Plans

Flexible payment options are available once you hit the qualifying purchase amount. Locking in early can also unlock limited-time offers like $0 down and 0% APR, making it even easier to plan ahead.

IMPORTANT DATES

2026/27 Pricing Deadlines

Season pass pricing increases throughout the year, so purchasing earlier guarantees the best available rate. Renewal pricing is available for current passholders through April 20, with several deadline periods for the general public throughout the year.

Buying early ensures the lowest price and the most passholder perks.
