Brighton Resort, located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, is one of the oldest skiing locations in the United States. It is known for its night skiing, offering the most extensive night skiing program in the entire West, with over 200 acres lit up during the winter season.

Bright Resort offers lift tickets, season passes, Salt Lake Ski Super Pass, and Ikon Passes. Below are the differences between the lift ticket types.
Brighton lift tickets require a one-time fee of $5 for a reloadable card. For each paying adult, up to two children 6 and under can ski for free.
There are also military and single-ride tickets available, but they can only be purchased at the ticket office.
Brighton Resort offers several season passes to cater to different preferences.
The Salt Lake Ski Super Pass gives you access to Salt Lake’s world-class resorts, Alta, Solitude, Brighton, and Snowbird, throughout the ski season with no blackout dates.
You can access Brighton on all types of Ikon Passes. Ikon passes are available for purchase pre-ski season until around the end of November and are ideal for people planning to ski at multiple resorts. The differences between the passes are highlighted below.
Before skiing at Brighton, you must make a lift reservation.
Brighton Resort Ski School offers private lessons, group lessons, night lessons, women’s workshops, and kid’s camps for ages 3 and above.
It is highly recommended to book lessons in advance as spots are limited.
Brighton Resort is located in the small town of Brighton itself, which is around 35 miles drive from Salt Lake City International Airport. The town has a few ski-in-ski-out and walk-to-lift lodgings so you can maximize your time on the slopes. This town also provides easy access to Solitude Mountain Resort, which is only a short drive away. However, Brighton has limited amenities, shopping, and dining options, so some skiers choose to stay in the suburb of Cottonwoods Heights.
Brighton Resort has a few dining options at the base of the mountain.
Located on the third floor of the A-frame base lodge, it provides a cozy setting with a full bar, grill-style food, and a panoramic view of the mountains.
