Well if you are more of a park skier then definatly brighton is where to go. But if you like steep runs big cliffs and a resort open till at least may 30th wiht an ok park then go to snowbird.

the terrain is way better at snowbird, but there is plenty of good shit to get to at brighton, just without much vert. however, there are no liftlines at birghton, and the tram wait can get prett rediculous at the bird. I personally like brighton more, but that is more based on the scene than the terrain.

True true dylan. But why are you looking into a pass in the middle of Feb?

for sure i prefer little cottonwood canyon above all else, but like said the scenes are different and the terrain is different

if you love skiing big lines and cliffs and lots of vert go to snowbird.

if you like park, and way cool cliffs, but dont mind slacking on vert go to brighton

Brighton kinda sucks, they don't maintain their park for shit from what I've seen. All the rails have huge holes before or after, no jumps onto the rails. All the booters are like mogul kickers with a 3 foot long steep landing and 15 feet of flat to clear. I went night skiing there a few weeks ago and I was thouroughly disappointed. The majority of the mountain is flat aswell although the side that borders with alta BC looked pretty decent. All in all snowbird has that place beat hands down in my opinion.
