The Skiers' Guide to Brighton Resort

Considering current snow condition in Utah, Brighton is still the best Resort in the Salt Lake City area. I’m sure it has a lot to improve when comparing to foreign Resorts, (at least it’s what I’ve heard, I’d really like to confirm it myself someday). But it does have a great terrain, best quality snow in the area and the best vibe by far. I feel like everybody on that mountain is there because they love skiing/snowboarding and not for ‘the looks’. Food & beverage options are limited, but tailgating there is an event and so much fun. With all that said, Brighton is my favorite Resort in Utah and I love going back there.

Super convenient and accessible from a major airline hub – get on the slopes in no time. Great for families!

Very great resort , take great care of the mountain and value the customers. Interaction with all the customers is great

My favorite resort I’ve been to, geared towards snowboarding and gorgeous at night. Everyone was super friendly and it’s just a vibe the entire time.

We visit Brighton every year! It seems to be more of a locals resort, which we love, as the slopes never seem overly crowded. The employees are always friendly and helpful. There is always great snow, well groomed, and plenty of options for different levels of skiers.

Brighton is a great place to ski! They have a lot of lifts and a lot of great runs. A wide variety of runs.

I loved my time at Brighton. The views were magical and the slopes were long and had lots of different options to go. I was able to learn more about my board and how to snowboard from one of the snow days that Brighton had.

Brighton is a great mix of everything that makes skiing in Utah awesome. You have top notch terrain parks, bowls, chutes, long groomers, trees, cliffs, etc. all funneling to a party of a parking lot.

Went to Brighton after a couple inches of powder. It was pretty nicely groomed but the lift lines were super long and messy. Unclear where to go. Unfortunately the food is pretty overpriced. But really enjoyed the runs we were able to get on.

Night skiing and skiing through The trees at Brighton Resort is simply amazing! Think Winter Wonderland! The later you ski the emptier the slopes get.

There was not a lot of snow in Utah during the time I visited, but Brighton had the most compared to the other mountains. The open trails were fun and were some areas where you could go into the trees. My friends and I also got some good drinks for apres.

Love Brighton, still has that old school feel. Great runs. Love it.. It does a great job at giving a variety of ski runs for all skill level types

I love riding Brighton. However, the parking lot is too crowded even with parking reservations. The canyon drive is always crowded since there is only one way to get there. Lines are ridiculously long on a Saturday and holiday. Usually once I get up the canyon and parked I am good to go. Just make that parking reservation ahead. Not a lot of options for food besides a couple lodges offering over priced food which is typical for a resort.

Amazing resort and will be going back, got 64 days there last season and intend to double it this season

We absolutely LOVE the night skiing here, especially after new snow has fallen it’s like skiing in Winter Wonderland! The longer/later you ski the less people there are. Simply amazing!!!

Large area, close to Salt Lake City. Family oriented. Disability parking. Good food. Great staff. Weekends get packed.

I enjoyed brighton! Love the tree runs and different lodges to choose. Most of the workers are friendly.

Dont let anybody tell you that if you go to Brighton - then you must be a snowboarder.Its simply not true. It is a great resort that has skiing and snowboardingI. The conditions are tied for best in USA with Alta. Alta gets a few more inches. Also perfect place for beginners & families because 0 ice, 0 windswept nonsense the sharp edges can barely hold does not exist here. Skiers and riders are genuinely friendly. This place is not all about glamour, fine dining, valet and luxury.
The tree skiing is best I know of anywhere! The steeps are steep. If you like moguls - the runs are long, not the longest, but treacherous. You will be humbled! Also, I appreciate that there is night skiing for a reasonable price.

Favorite resort in Utah still relatively affordable, good mix of types of terrain, great place to learn to ski with lots of greens/easy blues

I have been snowboarding at Brighton for over 30 years and it is truly my happy place. great terrain and snow. There is something for everyone at Brighton. I am discouraged a bit at how expensive lift tickets have become.
