Not huge. You don't get the long runs of a place like Park City but you never stand in lift lines and the snow is great. Plenty of tree skiing. There are several restaurants and bars on the mountain. My favorite is Molly Greens. Authentic, rustic atmosphere with great food & service. Wait until about 1 to avoid crowds. read more

i have skied brighton for many years. i am always surprised at how poorly they manage their lift lines. there is a general perception that you will get to the front of the line quicker if you are better at cutting in front of people in the line. quading up is happens if you are lucky. you can do better. read more

Rarely ski Brighton and this is why. Waiting in line for 45 minutes for ski rentals. Their computers are down and we are all just standing here. No explanation. No ETA. Paid $75 to ski 1/2 day and this is cutting into that expensive rate! Cmon Brighton! read more

Brighton Resort - Ski Resorts Near Me - Brighton, Utah

I enjoy skiing this resort but I'm amazed every time I go at the lack of interest the employees take. For example, lift line at Crest merges 3-4 lines in a scrum right in front of the gate - 3 lifties sitting there. Zero management of the line. While we waited in line we had snowboarders cutting in front of everyone while the lifties watched. My friend got separated from her kids and after searching for nearly an hour she went to the ticket office to ask for help. They replied that 'the kids probably just got back on a lift'. That was it. Luckily we eventually found them. They had not gotten back on a lift. Employees seem completely uninterested in their jobs. We will not give any more money to Brighton. read more

The staff is amazing! It is soooooo pretty with the mountains! Nothing else to say! It was the best ski resort I have ever been to! read more

Get here early, because parking is HORRENDOUS. It took us about an hour circling the regular and overflow parking lots to find one spot, which was a lucky coincidence. Food is over priced - $15 for a slice of pizza, a drink, and a cookie. But I guess they have to make money somehow...other than the $70 lift tickets. Overall I love the runs and layout of the place, and everyone is pretty friendly. The lift lines aren't very busy most of the time, and it's got a great atmosphere. read more

Brighton Resort - On the lift - Ski Resorts Near Me - Brighton, Utah

The workers here are so demeaning and rude, they have no patience whatsoever. I was yelled at because I pulled my mask down to take a breathe and then I went to put it up but I had gloves on so it was hard to get it on and the worker continued to yell at me. Another worker gave me sass when I sincerely apologized about not seeing him when I hit a piece of terrain. The workers in the food lodge were also very demeaning and treated me and my friend as if we were young teenagers. I paid $114 just to have my vibe ruined by horribly mannered workers, absolutely ridiculous, never coming back and telling all my friends to not go here. read more

My brother, sister and I went for the day to learn to ski. For under $100 we got a 2 hour lesson, lift ticket and rental. Our instructors, Tim & Arsen, were really patient. We spent about an hour and 15 minutes receiving tips and instruction and the remaining time on the small beginners slope (with instructor help). If you've never skied or snowboarded GET A LESSON! Well worth the $49! The instructors were great and so helpful. All the employees from instructors, ski rental to lift operators were awesome and helpful. Even the fellow "great" skiers were great host. This is a really great place for beginners. If you get a chance head to Brighton. It was worth all the effort. It was an amazing day on the slopes! read more

My favorite resort in Utah, I lived in Salt Lake for 10 years and got to know Brighton and all of it's secret gems. The powder is insane and when there's snow, this is the place to ride. The boundary gates open a lot of accessibility to the backcountry, one thing to note if you're going out of bounds be sure you have backcountry safety equipment, a partner and avalanche safety knowledge! read more

I was extremely dissatisfied and disappointed with our experience here. Initially everything started off well, waiting in line to retrieve our passes after prepaying was not an issue. A manager came over to redirect us in a more speedy line. Once we got upstairs to get the gear we needed, there was chaos. I get it, it's covid, and everyone is doing their best, but omg! It was a mess. The young lady that assisted us, did the best she could, and after about an hour later, we were suited to go. It was freezing outside so we decided to stop in the gift shop to get some neck warmers. While picking them out, we overheard the cashiers saying " I don't even know why people go "night snowboarding" " like who does that" and they were both laughing...so we got to the counter and if they both didn't stare at me and my wife like stuck on stupid, not a word came out of their mouth until we said, I'm hello can we check out, then the other cashier decided to help us! No, "hello" no " have a nice day" NOTHING! So we get outside to stand in line for the lifer, and 30 minutes, only to find out that when we get to the front we need some kind of scan card, which wasn't given to us... so this we had to go back to the line we initially started in to retrieve those. Unbelievable. I asked to speak to a manager at the ticket window and the no badge cashier says the manager is gone for the day! Hmmmmm..... ok. So then over comes this young lady with a red beenie that was supposedly the "supervisor" and she greets me with a "what's up!" And it all goes does downhill from there. She basically said that it was job to make sure I had passes, blame placed on me... however how would I have known I needed passes if I'm a visitor and no one said anything... nor did I see it under my pre purchased account! I've been to 3 different states to snowboard with my family, and this has been the worst experience. I will never return this resort, and nevermind that it's Covid, respect is ALWAYS! And these folks must've never been taught that! If you're from the area, yes, maybe this place works for you, but me and "California family" I'll take my money elsewhere next time! read more

Great family ski/board resort. My kids absolutely love the bunny hill and the group instruction - Best prices and value in the area! Plenty of terrain to choose from, high speed quads get you up quick, and they open up fresh powder areas very quickly! read more

Brighton Resort - Map - Ski Resorts Near Me - Brighton, Utah

Fantastic ski. Even at it's peak the lines are manageable. Some of the best tree runs on earth. I coming back.

They sell too many season passes and it seriously effects their mountains ski-ability. Don't even think about going on a weekend, it's packed wall to wall. Also, they now have active police man on snowboards and skis, actually patrolling the mountain. And no, I'm not talking about ski patrol, I'm talking Actual police from UPD. I don't think they have much of a say but it's still pretty ridiculous read more

This has been my favorite resort out of the 5-6 that I have visited in Utah. The one thing that stands out about this resort is there is something for EVERYONE. There are some resorts in Utah that are easy, but you're limited on challenging runs or the resort is way too small. Others are full of advanced runs, but limited on runs to hone your skills or let beginners on. But Brighton has it all! Need some easy, magic carpet runs? Done. Just learning the ropes but want something longer? They have it. Blue diamonds is your style? Plenty of those. Want to hit some rails and jumps? They've got you covered. Need some extreme skiing or want to hike for some back country? You'll find that too. This is the place for the skiing you are looking for! read more

Love it here! Love the staff members love all the memories! Love love love. I have been skiing for a very long time and consider this my home resort. I really enjoy the extra time nights offers. Passes are a more reasonable price here. I also get my skis and boards waxed and tuned here. The shop guys do a great job! I enjoy the time I spend here and there is always a fun day when you are up here! They also celebrate easter with an egg hunt very family friendly great place overall read more

Let me first say: I spent my teenage years skiing at Brighton and enjoyed the resort and skiing. Let me move to today Sunday (12/11/16): my daughter is a first year skier and she wanted a Season pass to Brighton. Traffic and parking was very congested. We arrived at the one-way circle to be met by Brighton Resort personnel and the Unified Kearns/Magna police that had blocked off the entrance to parking. We were instructed by a young Brighton Employee to park on the side of the road; the exit side of the circle and to board the resort shuttle. After a half day of skiing, I boarded the resort shuttle to retrieve my car, only to find it GONE ! As, in towed. I went to the main Office and spoke with whom I understood to be the resort General Manager. He said he was at the circle with the police instructing people that area was for unloading only, which makes sense; however, I did not speak with him, I was instructed by another resort employee to park exactly where he pointed and verbally instructed us to in order to board the Shuttle. The General Manager, accused me of misunderstanding or misinterpreting what was said at the entrance of the circle. I'm an educated Executive, to which, I rarely mis-understand directions, conversation, and even instructions. Summary: The Unified Police dispatched a tow Company to tow my car because I was in the wrong location on the road -- as instructed by a Brighton employee. We used UTA to ride to the bottom of the canyon and scheduled Ute Cab to pick us up and drive us home. Great job Ute Cab Company ! The towing Company was very pleasant on the phone and informed me my car would be available Monday morning. The Tow Company's driver was very pleasant and polite with me and my situation. Final message to Brighton Commuters: Do not beleive what a parking attentand tells you if you are not in the Brighton parking lot. Do not try to speak with the Resort General Manager, he is a condesending person that likes to belittle the very people that pay his salary during the Ski Season and defelect any type of ownership for his actions. We will be Season holders at Alta or Snowbird next Year ! Update: 12/12/16 I scheduled a cab ride to the towing Company to retrieve my car this morning and paid the $260 tow bill and the driver delivered my parking citation as instructed by the Police Officer. The Tow driver informed me that they towed a total of 30 cars from Brighton. So...back to my conversation with the General Manager that accused me of misunderstanding what was said, apparently, there are another 29 people that did misunderstood as well. The questions is this; Did the 30 drivers misunderstood was what was said, or did the General Manager, directing parking with the Police have no idea how to handle the overcrowding of the parking situation. Furthermore: the Towing Company informed that they receive calls from Brighton to Tow on a regular basis. In fact, during a Movie Shoot, Brighton had 40 cars towed. Shame on Brighton !!!! Randy Doyle is the General Manager that is responsible for all the towing 801-532-4731 x103 Update: 12/13/16 I received a call from Randy Doyle from Brighton today, we discussed the above situation and Randy was very calm and professional with me. He expressed his willingness to help with my associated costs of my tow fees and parking ticket. We agreed on a food voucher that my daughter is able to use when she is skiing at the resort without me. We typically ski 3 days a week at Brighton and spend ~$40 each day on food and beverage. Randy's offer was fair and much appreciated ! Thank you Randy, as you have restored my positive attitude towards Brighton again. Randy represented Brighton in a positive professional manner...thank you. read more

I get it: No ski resort has great employees. But Brighton really brings things to a new low. Took my two kids to Millicent lift this last season and our passes wouldn't scan. There were no closed signs like every other resort puts out to save people the effort of going to a closed lift. Turns out it was one or two minutes past the closing time and the liftie told me I should have looked online for the closing time before I tried that lift. There were about 8 other people not from my group that were looking to get on that lift as well. Instead of the liftie showing sympathy and letting us up or at least apologizing, she made fun of us. I'm not kidding here: full on laughing and offering life advice. One person that was there said to me "if your kids weren't here, I would have very strong words for that liftie." I took the next 15 minutes carrying my skis and my kids skis back up to the car. read more

I highly recommend Brighton Resort for skiing. The staff is exceptional! Their operation is so smooth and efficient that even with a good amount of people on January 5 (weekend, before school started), they got us in through rentals and tickets, and onto classes in impressive time. We were a group of six and four people had never skied before, and the Brighton staff was as friendly and helpful to them as anyone else; so this is a great place to go if you're starting out. I'm not a very experienced skier, but it's clearly also good for advanced skiers and snowboarders, based on the skills I saw on the slopes! We stayed in the city so I can't speak to their lodging, BUT the staff at the restaurant/bar was also exceptionally accommodating. read more

Great terrain & amazing food/service - especially at Molly Greens. The mountain repair shop staff are very knowledgeable with impeccable customer service. read more

This is kinda the cheap/ghetto/family/whatever ski resort compared to the 3 other major Cottonwood ski areas (Solitude, Snowbird, Alta). Definitely a good place for beginners. It's a little further up the road compared to Solitude... IMO, not quite as good of a resort as Solitude is, either. But in the end, I will let the prices decide which one I go back to. read more

Relatively speaking, the prices at Brighton ski resort were quite competitive. The conditions of the slopes or well maintained and the staff was helpful when needed. If you are looking for a casual place to come in, hit the slope for several hours, and drive back home. This place is ideal. They have reloadable passes that go no a simple, card which means you don't have to stand in line for a lift pace that needs to be zip-tied to your jacket. Smart system. read more

Brighton Resort - Ski Resorts Near Me - Brighton, Utah

Yes, I am STILL not done with my Utah reviews. I've had the opportunity to ski and board here for many years, and it has remained one of my favorite ski areas. It's been over a decade since I've done any skiing at Brighton (or anywhere else for that matter), so I'll focus on the boarding aspect, as I enjoyed the mountain on a snowboard not that long ago. Brighton has made huge strides since I first started coming here back in the early 1990s. Back then, the only people who ever came here were Salt Lake locals, and the lift ticket was nice and cheap. The lift ticket is still "cheap" relative to other area mountains, but at $62 for a full day, it's substantially higher than it used to be. Thankfully, Brighton has an efficient, quick lift system, so you'll be able to get your money's worth if you so desire. The entire mountain is fun. It's a mountain with personality; it wasn't bulldozed into big wide hegemonic boulevards. You get twists and turns on narrow runs through the trees, natural swales, outcroppings and little hits that snowboarders love, double fall lines, as well as a man-made terrain park. I typically bypass the terrain park, as I'm more interested in high-speed riding and finding shots of powder in the trees. Plus, if I go try the halfpipe, I'll end up injuring myself. I'll try to give a description of the mountain's layout. The Crest Express quad is probably the most crowded of the high-speed quads, as it services several gentle but still fun intermediate runs. I like to use the runs off this chair as a warmup and jumping off point in the morning. Once warmed up, head to the Snake Creek quad located mid-mountain and do some quick laps here, as there are some very nice short intermediate and expert runs off this chair, including a short, steep dive through the trees called Hard Coin. Once you've had your fill of this area, I would head toward the Great Western or Millicent quads, located on the left and right of the area, respectively. Note that you'll have to hike across the parking lot to the Millicent chair, unless you want to go to the trouble of jumping on Crest again so you can catch a short connector trail. On the left, Great Western offers the highest top-to-bottom vertical drop you'll find at this mountain, with several steeper intermediate and expert runs. Here, you can also find some decent little powdery improvisation through the aspens off of Elk Park Ridge. The Millicent side is a ton of fun, and tends to be the least crowded part of Brighton. It's a snowboarder's paradise, with lots of the aforementioned natural terrain features. If you're up for it, you can also hike all the way up to the top of Mt. Millicent, where you'll find a steep exposed slope with some rocky outcroppings. You can also traverse out from the lift and miss the most "extreme" part, but even then you'll find some pretty difficult stuff. I only venture over there when the snow conditions are favorable - otherwise I just stick to the long, fun rollicking intermediate trails where you can build up a lot of speed. For lunch, I would brown-bag it. I think the food here is decent (though what food isn't, when you've been boarding all morning), but it can get crazy-crowded at the base lodge. Better to take a cooler and go back to your car to eat. read more

Your staff at "lost and found" was extremely rude. I lost my goggles last season, sent several emails asking if they had been turned in--received MINIMAL communication with no actual answers. Upon my first day of Brighton this season I decided to check with lost and found to see if BY CHANCE they may have had them. A young gentleman from the service staff asked how he could help me, upon asking my question since they were lost "last year" I was rudely interrupted by a lady from the service staff who was NOT helping me but already had a different customer out front of her to tell me "we have nothing from last year they're not here". I was caught off guard by her rudeness as she had responded with complete attitude towards me--maybe she assumed I was going to be difficult? I turned right around not saying a word and walked out. I had so many questions afterward but no longer felt comfortable approaching the staff. I was not difficult, I kindly asked my question not even mentioning how I had contacted Brighton Resort on the last day of the season last year (when I lost them). I had even emailed several times throughout the months leading up to this season and got absolutely nowhere. The customer service absolutely fell short, both online and 100% in person. Based off the customer service I received, I would not recommend Brighton Resort to anyone. read more

Brighton is the best resort in Utah if you want a pure, un-yuppied ski or snowboard experience. One of the best kept secrets of the Utah snow resorts, Brighton is really a locals only kind of feel, which is why I like it. Brighton hasn't given into the condos, upscale restaurants or other bullshit that resorts like The Canyons and Deer Valley throw in. The mountain has a ton of variety and is well laid out for anyone from a beginner to expert. I can take my friends there and show them how to ride, starting em out on Majestic. Then I can go throw down some double blacks off of Great Western just as easily! The park isn't fantastic, but it isn't terrible either. Plus Brighton gets more snow than almost any of the other resorts in Utah, except Alta and their holier-than-thou skiers only mentality. The lodge there has fairly priced food (for a resort), the Molley Green bar is just good times. The lift tickets are fairly priced, it used to be kids under 12 skied free but now I guess it's just 6 and under. Too bad, planned on taking my kids here for a long time to show them how to ride. Overall, if you want luxury and over priced fluff, go to Park City and get the hell off my mountain. If you want to just get on the mountain and enjoy a lot of variety with fantastic snow, hit Brighton. read more

As part of my grown children's Christmas gift, I offered them each (4-kids) a day of snowboarding. My daughter who lives in Salt Lake City recommended Brighton as she had boarded there before. I went online to buy their tickets as there was about a $50 discount to do so. As I went to each prompt, it was apparent that I could not just enter their names and proceed to checkout - I had to enter each and every one of them including emails, physical addresses, phone numbers, credit card information, etc. After spending about half an hour getting that done, the system kicked me out - so I assumed that the information would be saved - it was not. So I did it all again - another 1/2- hour. Finally I was able to get to the checkout, and after entering my card information AGAIN, I pushed purchase and was told "Sorry, an error occurred please try again later" When I called the resort, I was passed along 4 times until I finally got to number that hid behind their voicemail. having been in a high level business environment for over 30-years, I know the difference between good and bad customer relationships - Brighton apparently is on the bottom, at least as having good upfront customer relationships. I will give my card to my oldest tomorrow, and they will not be going to Brighton - I guess $380 is not worth their time. read more

I love Brighton but I will not be purchasing a season pass with them again until they fix the parking situation. It's taking us over 2.5 hours to get there from Cottonwood Heights to be told the parking lot is full. This has happened three times this season. Catching a bus isn't an option as we have a 3 yr old. My husband can only ski on weekends and can't use his season pass as the parking lot fills early. We leave home at 8:30. Not good enough. Want a refund. read more

Not a good place for boarders, esp if you're going there for the first time and/or trying to teach your friends. The terrain has too many stretches of flat ground - uphill, even. Hello! Aren't we supposed to go D-o-w-n-hill? Friends and I ended up having to take off our boards and hiked a good distance, put them on, before hitting another flat/uphill spot. Fuck. I got cramps in my thighs after the second run. One of the stars goes to the view from the peak. Absolutely gorgeous. The other star goes to the fact that we got away with riding regular lifts with just beginners tickets. Hey I wouldn't have paid more anyway. I must also note that the ski patrol is absolutely outstanding. One of my friends injured herself and the patrollers took great care of her. They even had medical doctors on staff in the patrol room. read more

Do not go to the Winter Fest if your intention is to ski, which one would assume a ski resort would be capable of handling. Deadlock traffic starting at Solitude took more than an hour to get through. No parking attendants, people just parking wherever they want. Very poorly designed system. The lines at the lifts were outrageous, but I expected them to be since it was a "fest". They shut down the lifts at 8:30 (half hour early), so we were only able to get one run in and were forced to leave. Definitely will not be going to this festival again, and am contemplating going to another resort all together due to the poor customer service. read more

The best value for ski resort. I need to find a resort in the Utah-area that would be friendly to accommodate my snowboarding siblings at a great price and Brighton became my mountain of choice. Only reservation but a rather important one when you're making plans to accommodate a family: Just not much for non-skiers to do over the eight hours while waiting for their skier party to finish out the day. Park City and Snowbird have more accommodations. * Park City just has more of a "village"-- being a former Olympic site. But it's not on the par of Whistler Village in Canada. * Snowbird has a day spa available at $25 per day charge. read more

Just had a great time skiing at Brighton. Beautiful snow, weekday had no lines, and easy free parking. Nice selection of blues. The highlight of the day was definitely the private lesson my 3 year old had with Ri. I HIGHLY recommend her. She's a mom to an 8 year old and quickly developed a special bond with my son. I'm just an hour she got him to learn to stop by himself, and they did the bunny slope run 2 times, complete with real chairlift. So impressed she got him to do all that!! I wish we had more time at Brighton so we could work with Ri again. If you have a little one do the private lesson, not the semi private as my sons experience was a bit ruined by a girl in the class who was unwilling to participate. And hire Ri! read more

I am certainly a beginner to intermediate at best. I asked lots of people about resorts and everyone said Brighton based on the diversity of trails and the price. It is probably one of the least expensive resorts as I only paid $65 for a 1/2 day. Other resorts don't even offer than so you are stuck paying the $100+ fee. Also, plenty of parking space available too if you decide to drive up. As far as the trails (mainly green), I thought they were all very scenic and not too intense. Not lots of fresh powder but that is expected for Spring skiing. You will also notice lots of staff out as well on the slope. Everyone was extremely friendly and went out of their way to make you feel welcomed. Even though Brighton is located at the end of Big Cottonwood Canyon, the roads were very accessible too. However, I know when it snows this trip can get a bit nerve wracking. read more

Skied here during the first week of 4/13. During this time its been stormy here but the uta ski bus got me here and every run was almost new tracks. The runs were shorter then what i could find at alta or snowbird but the liftlines were nonexistant if this were in socal i would have been waiting 45 minutes between each run. I would rate the overall difficulty similar to resorts in the socal area. Whenever i do these utah ski vacations i just want to ski at a different resort each day i'm here read more

When I think of Brighton, I think of fresh powder, short lift lines, and just a good slope-side experience without the "snowbrah" ski culture. I've been here in February and have seen pure powder off of several runs. There's also a ton of tree runs which range from accessible to novices to omfg-difficult(!) stuff. Yes, there's some flat spots that will annoy snowboarders, but learn to avoid them or keep your momentum up. Use the Force, Luke! Take the Great Western lift up and bomb down some of the runs off of Elk run; if you can't find anything in there to challenge you, we hope to see you in the next Winter Olympics! p.s. the bus goes from both the parking lot and a TRAX station if you care not to drive. read more

I gave three stars because I wish I could review just their website. It's horrible. The resort is my favorite in the state, but the website is lousy. Trying to buy lift passes/season passes is painfully slow. And the system feels archaic. Seems like such an easy thing to fix in this day and age...but nope. read more

We came here from Northern California to ski/board...because the local Tahoe conditions are lacking back home. Lift ticket prices are some of the best as this is considered a locals ski resort. You can get discounted tickets in SLC...so get them before you drive up. Now this place isn't as big as the Park City Ski Resort, but there is plenty of terrain to let loose and enjoy yourself. We parked near the west lift (Milly Express) and brought food/drinks should we decide to return to the vehicle. If you park by this lift, you're just a few steps to the lift. Only problem is that there is only one trail over to the other lifts (and more popular side of the mountain). I didn't find the return trail, but my buddy did...so it is possible to ski from this side of the mountain to the other side and back. One of the best characteristics about this resort is that they use electronic gates that scan your lift pass while in your pocket. Just don't put it near your cell phone as it can deactivate the pass. My buddy had to put his right up to the gate sensor to work, but my worked from my pocket. The advise that you keep your receipt handy in case your pass stops working. But like one of the other reviews mentioned, locals here in the SLC area (and this resort), seem to be a bit rude. I've visited SLC several times in the past and didn't experience this on those trips. Has the culture changed or did we just happen upon the worst of the worst...in other words, bad timing? I liked this resort and it will definitely be one of my options on my next ski trip. read more

I may be biased as this is where I learned to snowboard many moons ago & where I have a season pass, but this is my second favorite resort in Utah! Brighton resort is slightly better than some of the others for a few of the following reasons: 1. It gets dumped on. It gets some of the deepest snow compared to other resorts in the surrounding areas and this impacts my next reason.. 2. It isn't as crowded as other resorts meaning that massive snow levels make for better skiing, which is why you are here isn't it? 3. The atmosphere here is NORMAL. It isn't super yuppy, the prices for food/beers (Molly Green's is where it's at) along with the lift tickets are still in the reasonable price range. However, it is a snowboarder induced resort but it isn't that competitive vibe you feel elsewhere or jam packed all around you. 4. Terrain is decent covering lots of area without having to ride numerous lifts. Nothing gets under my skin more than sitting in a lift line and on the chair more than you ski. 5. They have nailed down the parking game without shuttling people around. Also, your season pass works as your bus ticket as well, so do the green thing my friends - PARKNRIDE. Although, we will see the changes with resorts colliding into corporations which may impact this gem (as it did Solitude - & Brighton's ticket prices) but let's stay positive that it will be all for the good of the skiers. read more

**WARNING** ALL beer purchased anywhere except the state-run liquor stores in the boring state of UTAH is only 3.2% alcohol.. SMH! I love having a couple during lunch but not when they taste watered down and like they've been left out all night! brighton is more geared towards the younger crowds, it seems like all of the local kids with season passes on winter vacation headed up here to shred the terrain park. kids are whipping it by, busting out tricks left and right, while grinding and hitting all the gaps in the park! the prices were decent for gear-rental, lessons, and lift tickets.. i didn't need to rent but my cousins rental gear looked way better than some of Lake Tahoe's resorts.. bleh some of the runs were a bit icy but hey, can't yelp mother nature.. their terrain park had tons of rails, pipes, boxes, and looked like they were setting up for a super-pipe.. too bad there wasn't enough snow? my little cousins took lessons and even though they said they had more fun at solitude, i went to pick them up and the instructors seemed really sweet and shared what they had gone over during the day and what they needed to work on in the future.. excellent in my opinion! my little cousin had nothing but positive things to say about his instructor during the morning hours, however after lunch they switch? solitude and brighton are a minute apart, either way, both winning! read more
