Brighton Resort sits at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon and is a longtime local favorite for skiers and snowboarders. The mountain has about 1,050 skiable acres, 66 runs and roughly 500 inches of average annual snowfall.

Brighton is known for its five terrain parks and its night skiing and riding, which makes it an easy after-work or after-school trip from the Salt Lake Valley.
