If any one rides Brighton I was wondering were the good spots that I here so much about and see in magazines are found. I only get to ride there for a week every year because I don't live in Utah. It's my all time favorite resort I like it more than whistler, snowbird, PC, mount hood, ect.

brighton's your all time favorite resort? you should try solitude. much better terrain with a lot less people. i'm not very familiar with the brighton terrain as I usually only go there for park night riding, but my buddies are always talking about the good backcountry riding off of the millicent lift. there are a lot of really nice rollovers that are perfect for kickers and it's literally just minutes outside of the boundary. the millicent lift is also where they used to hold big mt. comps as well (i think?). there a ton of nice looking drops in that area but the 2 seater is a little sketchy on windy days.

yeah brighton is much better for park (solitude doesn't even compare).

you can check websites for avalanche reports. or just ask the patrollers.

look here is the skinny. look up and to the left of mili. that is where you want to go. where all those dope drops are that you can see from the road. get off mill traverse left go thru the gate if open and have fun

remember though that it is actualy backcountry conditions, no patroll, no avy control. so just be aware af whats up and don't die in a slide and ruin it for everybody

no problem I don't plan on dieing, I'm not dumb enough to go into an area with a good chance of a slide I just want a jump were i don't have to wait in a line and i can land in some good pow. i dont plan on jumping 50-100ft. cliffs either just 20 or 30. But i promise not to ruin it. so is it the cliffs that are to the left or rollers and cliffs because the way you explained it it sounds like just massive cliffs

There are some pretty big drops back there, so be sure to scout a couple of times. Like Mary chutes and shit can get pretty big. And you won't be alone back there on a good day. That shit's no secret.
