If it's that time of the year again to start think about where you want you go on your net ski vacation. Utah has plenty of resort with fantastic powder however Brighton Ski Resort is a world class resort with top notch facilities.
Brighton's Ski Resort is nested in the Big Cottonwood Canyon about 30 miles from Salt Lake City. So you'll be getting the awesome saline snow from the winter storms that come through for some amazing powder.
Brighton is actually on public land and all the resort's land is part of the Wasatch-cache National Forest. Which pretty much mean the resort is open year round. Of course tickets must be purchased to ride the lifts and the ski area.
