Just 30 miles from downtown Salt Lake City, Brighton is known as “The place where Utah learns to ski and snowboard – and keeps on learning.” They boast five-star grooming as well as chutes and trees for those who like white knuckle terrain. Three awesome terrain parks link the top of the mountain to the base, and all trails can be reached by high-speed quads. Families ride together, take different trails, and meet at the bottom.
