Brighton Resort: At the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon, just 30 miles from Salt Lake City, sits Brighton Ski Resort. Did you know that Brighton was the first ski area in Utah? It has a wide array of terrain, including three terrain parks. Brighton is a local favorite for good reason: it receives more than 500 inches of snow a year. Needless to say, powder days aren’t exactly rare here. If you like it steep and deep, then Brighton is the perfect place for your ski trip.
