get one pass to alta and one to park city

but if you only want one place I will say brighton...park city is good too.  but it really depends on how you like your park

if you like ok jibs....and shitty ass jumps, brighton.  prime everything? park city.  pow at brighton is great too so keep that in mind.

Like said, if you can get two passes get snowbird/alta and park city. Park city has some decent shit, just not alot of it, enough to keep you busy for most of the day though. On the other hand alta and snowbird have stuff to keep you busy for weeks. But if you want really good park and some decent steeps etc, get a pc pass. If you want some park and more powder and big mountain stuff, brighton might be the place for your. And ahviously if you just want pow and big mnt get snowbird or alta, i prefer alta over snowbird though but everyone is different.

brighton has a lil bit of everything, where alta/bird are the best for big mountain kinda stuff and park city for the park obviously.

snowbird has the longest steepest runs. the most vertical relief of all the resorts and the longest season.

I think you should go to brighton. It has a good park, and if you take up the milly express you have plenty of powder, cliffs, and other stuff

Yeah if you can only get one pass but would like both a bit of park and a sick mountain go for Brighton. But if you can handle two then get PC and Alta. I personally love the terrain and Brighton, you have sick cliff bands and great pillows along with the classic Utah pow and WAY easy back country access. PC ahviously has the best park. Perfect jumps and sick jibs. Alta and Snowbirds terrain is epic as well. Less trees and more out there. There are some big hits and good lines and cliffs and overall sick terrain at A/B as well.
In a nut shell
Can only afford one pass then go Brighton
Can afford two passes go Park City and Alta/Snowbird (Alta proffered or the combo pass).
