I'm gonna shred Brighton for a few days in mid march. What's your guys' favorite terrain? Including side-country?


Much thanks

The Milly lift is my favorite place to be on a pow day. Also, Hidden Canyon, which is off of the Great Western lift also has some great terrain. Those are probably my two favorite areas at Brighton. Snake Creek lift is also good for some quick hot laps on a pow day.

pretty much all the good terrain is in the sidecountry, or full on backcountry. the mary shoots far skiers right of the milly chairlift has all kinds of awesome stuff, including fun gap which is like 15 feet out and 20 foot drop. evergreen on skiers left of milly has some hidden gems, especially if you go just a bit out of bounds. hidden canyon is alright but there is some more serious avy risk there than on the sidecountry of milly so be careful. if you have a full backcountry setup and a buddy that you trust, the wolverine bowl and cirque are a quick hike from the top of milly, and thats one of the most famous wasatch backcountry zones. people at brighton tend to be super chill, so don't be afraid to ask a local who looks like they know whatsup to show you around.

you can always find good runs off great western, although if its windy it can get a bit chippy up there

I must add playground (right under crest) is still one of the most fun cliff lines I have ever skied. Other than that, what everyone else said above^. And also, maybe check out soli? I've been learning very quickly that it is an absolute hidden gem in Utah this season.
