Night Riding @ Brighton Resort | Utah

We got out to explore the best night riding in Utah at Brighton Mountain Resort. Getting out to the lifts at around 2pm allowed for 7 hours of riding, Not only do they have the largest night riding operation in the state but the whole terrain park zone is completely light up which offers the park riders consistent laps from first lift to close. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Imagine this, you are heading into the Wasatch Mountains state park, at the end of a very winding road in the Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah you will find the absolutely incredible Brighton Ski Resort in Utah. Towering mountains on either side of the valley offer up some of the best Utah skiing available and the fun doesn’t stop when the sun goes down as Brighton Ski Resort keeps going till 9pm - 7 days a week.  Being an Ikon Pass ski resort makes Brighton a must stop destination for many riders and more specifically the advanced to expert riders, over 40% of the trails are graded black diamond and double black diamond which makes Brighton Mountain Resort one of the most challenging in the Wasatch Mountains State Park. Situated high above Salt Lake City and being only 45 minutes’ drive from Salt Lake City International airport makes Brighton Mountain Resort one of the most accessible ski resort in Utah.
