Brighton Ski Resort Receives 21 inches of Snow in 24 Hours

Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008

Just received this mornings Powder alert from Brighton Ski Resort and it says 21 inches in 24 hours. They are not lying. We skied on fresh powder all day long yesterday and there were no lift lines. Only at Brighton Ski Resort. It would be different story at Alta or Snowbird. Not sure I can do another day of this but…. someone has to do it. Where is everyone?

Quad Wednesday Begins at Brighton Ski Resort

Wednesday, December 3rd, 2008

The official Quad Wednesday began yesterday at Brighton Ski Resort which means that you pay only $15 for a day pass when you bring a toy to donate to Toys for Tots. Bring your toy to the ticket office. That way everyone wins. Snow fall has been pretty good this year - still early - which is a relative term so far. Lately, we received 4 new inches of snow to ski on. No one can complain that they were too cold to ski.
