Salt Lake City

Plan a GradCity Ski Trip to Salt Lake City


Take Utah's slopes by storm and ski down and shred up one of the finest mountains in the United States - Brighton Mountain. Brighton is Utah’s only resort that can boast that 100% of its terrain is accessible by high speed quads. Our five quads, one triple and magic carpet service 1,050 acres and 1,875 vertical feet of incredible Utah skiing.

  • Grooming
  • Brighton’s grooming is five star. It is consistently top quality. Beginner runs are groomed nightly. Intermediate trails are groomed nightly, except for a few obscure trails which are groomed as needed. And for the experts, main runs are groomed, but most is left au naturale for those who like their powder deep without any fuss. The grooming report is posted daily.
  •  
  • Terrain
  • Terrain is our trump card – and 100% of the terrain can be accessed by high speed quad. Perhaps it is the only mountains where friends or families can ride together on the same lift and then peel off onto different trails – beginner, intermediate, or expert – and all meet at the bottom to ride the lift together again.
  •  
  • Most skiers and riders stick to the immaculately groomed trails, but there are trees and chutes, cliffs and natural terrain parks all within bounds for those who like white knuckle terrain.
  •  
  • And we have Terrain Parks. Freestyle riders and skiers enjoy Brighton’s four terrain parks for all abilities. The terrain park crew keeps moving the features around so what’s here today might be gone tomorrow. The challenge keeps changing.
  •  
  • Night Skiing
  • And there’s Night skiing. We have the most night skiing terrain in Utah with 22 runs on over 200 lighted acres.
