I'm going to be in Salt Lake for spring break (March 23-27) with my dad and I want to hit a little park. Is Brighton worth waiting in lines and shit for? Also, would you recommend going in the day or at night? Thanks NS

brighton is what you make of it. the jumps are small but very trickable for all 540 variations and the rails are some of the best anywhere. if you know where to go you can also hit some sick natural stuff all over the mountain, especially if you go out of bounds.

I'm suck ass at jumps (max is like a sketch 3)but I'm looking to improve my rail skills so it sounds like a good match for me

Sick, I've watched basically all the Saga edits at Brighton (that's where I got the idea) but it'll be Spring Break anyway so I'll be skiing during the week

Lines at Brighton?  No. 

Also, people don't seem to know that they get the same amount of snow as Alta.  Their park is fun with plenty of decent sized features.  If you get out of the park, you'll have the whole mountain to yourself, and if you want to scare yourself with some steep, gnarly lines then there are plenty to choose from. 

Don't tell....

I'm going to hit Alta, Snowbird, and Solitude mostly, I was just wondering if I would have a good time skiing the park at Brighton for just one night

Brighton is the shit, last year I went out at the same time as you, go there early, and said why not, let's hit brighton!

Totally rad mountain, sick rails, and an awesome mountain that's completely empty during the week. Definitely hit that place up. And I'm not sure if they have it this year, but last year they had a pretty sick pipe that was fun to dick around in. (first time in a decent sized pipe!)

My friend was just at solitude. The day he left they got 4 feet. No idea about big cottonwood though, but Brighton is FUN.

Brighton is easily one of my favorite mountains. It's got a chill vibe, great park, not really any lift lines, and you can still find some very fun pow lines and tree runs. It's one of those places that has a little bit of everything.

Brighton is not worth waiting in line for... but luckily you wont have to wait in line. It's definitely worth not waiting in line for. If you like big jumps you'll want to check out park city for a day, but otherwise you'd probably have plenty of fun at brighton.

You shut your whore mouth. But seriously, I fucking love Brighton. When all the sheep head to LCC, B-Town is on point and not tracked out in an hour. Skied knee to waist deep powder in the trees all day a couple Saturdays ago with mini golf lines for days. Have fun.

Go to brighton cause I work there. Candyland sounds like its the park for you. You will need a peeps pass if you want to hit the jump line.
