Slope offering, variety of runs at the ski resort Brighton
Brighton offers over 60 runs. Chairlifts start in various directions from the base station, creating four diverse areas: Great Western, Snake Creek, Crest, and Milly. All levels of difficulty are available, so skiers and snowboarders of every ability can enjoy this mountain. Groomed and ungroomed runs, easy to challenging slopes, beginner areas, powder fields, forest runs, tree skiing, and cliffs all await within the controlled ski area boundaries. The snow quality is often excellent. In addition, the après-ski offerings are extensive.
Brighton has a long history. It is Utah's oldest ski area. In 1936, the first lift in Big Cottonwood Canyon began operating here.
