Brighton Ski Resort, USA resort reviews

Nice Alternative

Tue 9 December 2003 Eunice
I was originally planning on riding Snowbird only but with the lack of snow, my group headed out to Brighton, which is a very snowboard friendly resort. The resort is pretty small but has some nice steeps, a lot of blue trails, and some nice tree runs. Good snow coverage compared to the other resorts at that time and a friendly place overall. It was a little expensive for its size and my group was pretty much done with the mountain in a day.
