I just bought my season pass for this year’s snowboard season… this year’s pick: Brighton!
Brighton has always been one of my favorite resorts, mainly because I’ve only really been to Brighton and Solitude and of the two Brighton is definitely more fun to ride. The terrain parks are excellent, the kickers are enormous, the runs are more vertical, and they are open from 9am to 9pm. Very cool. Add to that the new high speed quad on Millicent, and the fact that I get four days a week for the same price as 1 day a week at Solitude. It’s a no-brainer.
I’d also been looking at Snowbird which – from what everyone says – is one of the best places in Utah… but the prices were just too far out of my budget range. It looks very nice though, and I hope to go there at least once this winter and check out the tram and Mineral Basin.
Bring on the snow!
