Brighton Resort, Utah

Brighton Resort sits in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, just 30 minutes from Salt Lake City. A staple of the Wasatch Front ski scene, Brighton is known for its family-friendly atmosphere, consistent Utah powder, and terrain that works for everyone from first-timers to experienced skiers and riders.

Five lifts — including Milly Express, Crest Express, and Great Western Express — access a broad range of terrain. Beginner runs like Canyon and Deer Park ease new skiers onto the mountain, while intermediate cruisers like Thor, Pacific Highway, and Silver Spur offer long, rewarding descents. Advanced and expert terrain includes runs like Lone Pine, Devil's Drop, and Scree Slope, along with steep chutes and glades throughout the resort.

On-mountain dining at The Sidewinder Restaurant and the Wasatch Mountain Club Lodge keeps skiers refueled throughout the day. Navigate the full resort with the Brighton Mountain Map app, your on-mountain companion for interactive trail maps and live lift status.
