12601 E Big Cottonwood Canyon Rd, Salt Lake City 84121 800-873-5512
Description:
BRIGHTON. A former mining town, Brighton became Utah's first bona fide ski resort in 1936. Today, people still flood into the lofty Big Cottonwood Canyon town – not because it's fancy but because it's one of the best values for the buck. More than 60 world-class runs, value-priced skiing and snowboarding lessons, and an annual snowfall average of about 500 inches combine to make Brighton one of the best downhill options in the country.
