Thanksgiving at Brighton Ski Resort

November 26th, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

We had Mark Forgson and his son staying in Alpine Creek #1 for the Thanksgiving holiday and they left this cute snowman. Their quote of the week was “this was the most memorable Thanksgiving we’ve ever had”. They enjoyed Thanksgiving dinner at Creekside Restaurant, nonstop skiing and playing in the pool and hottub, and cartoons by the fireplace. Couldn’t be better. Mark even treated himself to a massage at the Solitude Spa.

New October Snow on Brighton Ski Resort - Thanksgiving Ski Home Rentals Still Available

November 1st, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

Jay and I hiked up to the top of Majestic lift yesterday and did a little skiing. What a way to embrace winter. For October 31st, the snow was quite good and abundant. Thinking we were doing something unique and on the edge, we soon realized it was NOT. There were many people already there in T-shirts and shorts (quite a bit younger I might add) doing the same. If this is any indication, we are going to have a terrific ski season at Brighton and Solitude Ski Resorts.

To make things a little easier on your wallet during these challenging economic times, we’ve cut our ski home rental prices dramatically.

Solitude Ski Resort to Open Early - November 9th

October 30th, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

If you’ve been dreaming of powder days like I have, your dream has come true.

Winter arrived in Big Cottonwood Canyon early this year and Solitude Ski Resort is opening its doors (or rather its slopes) on Nov 6th. Crazy! If you’re looking for a great Thanksgiving Getaway you should really call me. We have slashed our home rental prices and are allowing four night stays. Crazy!

Utah Summer Skiing?

April 26th, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

Enough already.  Brighton Ski Resort closed last week and we got another 10 inches of snow.  Can someone tell whomever is in charge to knock it off?

Utah Ski Season Comes to a Close

April 19th, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

Last day of skiing today and what a way to end the Utah ski season.  The Brighton Beach Bikini Bash was a hit yesterday with skiers getting more than a goggle tan line if you know what I mean.  We are finally getting those great spring skiing conditions.  It seems only right to be skiing in shorts the last day of the season rather than skiing knee deep in fluffy powder like we did last week.  This season, Brighton Ski Resort had a total of 581 inches of snowfall beating last years’ total.  This translates to full reservoirs this summer.

Easter Skiing at Brighton Ski Resort

April 11th, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

Has Mother Nature forgotten what month it is?  Brighton, Utah has received over three feet of snow in the past ten days.  The snow conditions are about as good as they have been all season long and the resort closes in a week.  Again light fluffy powder in April is unheard of but much appreciated by those of us who are here to enjoy it. Easter skiing will be amazing this season.  Hope the Easter Bunny can make it up the Canyon.

April Fools

April 1st, 2009 by Adrienne Aldous

Snow Snow Snow! NO, this is not an April Fools joke. Here it is April 1st and we just received 9 inches of snow. Is this an April Fools joke? Nope. I had probably the best powder day in April I can ever remember. It was the light and fluffy kind not the wet cement kind, and the lift lines were nonexistent. I guess everyone is playing golf somewhere else. Our guests are so happy. Our group staying in Great Western said, “This is why we come to Brighton”.
