Brighton has over 60 runs. Around the base station, chairlifts run in different directions and take you into the four varied areas of Great Western, Snake Creek, Crest and Milly. There are runs of all difficulty levels, allowing snow sports enthusiasts of all abilities to enjoy this mountain. Groomed and ungroomed slopes, easy to difficult slopes, beginners’ areas, powder slopes, gladed runs, tree skiing and cliffs promise lots of thrills inside the monitored ski area boundaries. The snow quality is often excellent. There is also an extensive night skiing programme.
Brighton has a long history. It is the oldest ski resort in Utah. The first lift went into operation here in Big Cottonwood Canyon in 1936.
