What an amazing ski area. I've been to over 60 US ski resorts now and would say that Brighton by far has the best low angle tree skiing in the country. While there aren't a lot of great on-mountain lodging options here, the resort is connected to Solitude, which has a very nice village area and lots of lodging options in it's own right. We stayed there during our visit as skiing back and forth from Solitude to Brighton is very easy.

Not great. If you are a very good skier but have never been here, don't come. The base is set up terribly and makes it very difficult to get around. Not enough steep stuff, too many cat tracksNoteworthy details: Go to a fun place like solitude instead

This is the final Brighton pass for me. What a disappointing year. I was part of the group of people who purchased their 23/24 pass in early May of 2023 before the parking fiasco was announced. I dont think ive even made it up 10 days this year compared to my typical 30-40 days of riding per season. I gave up riding weekends after December where I was able to reserve 1 day of the available 15 weekend riding days that month, including fridays. I have bought this pass for years because I've always been able to show up at any time and ride, no longer.It is now clear I made the right choice with how Brighton staff have treated me and others this year. Not to mention Brighton has the balls to list renewals for next years season pass in March when the current season is still going. Hope you guys limit pass sales this next season. So that the people who do get passes can actually use them.Quarterly and yearly profits over EVERYTHING. That is the new way in America. all your favorite hometown resorts are being bought up and squeezed for what they can get. Nothing takes precedent over shareholder value just remember that whenever a business is no longer serving the customer."I thought this was america"-Randy Marshprobably realNoteworthy details: You cannot ride without a reservation for parking Friday-Sunday. Those spots are only available the Sunday prior to the following week at "around" 6pm. You will struggle to reserve any weekend day with your expensive unlimited pass.

Totally my favorite place to ski as a local, grew up learning these slopes. Don't go here, keep it a locals only secret?

Glad I rode the bus instead of driving my car. It gets really crowded at like 7 am I feel like. Staff were ok.

Long, powdered runs. Variety in grades. Numerous terrain parks. Crest Express is my favorite lift I have ever been on. Appears to be new. It's fast and sturdy.

Their pricing advertising is very deceptive. The website claims that twilight lift tickets start at $65. The key words being "start at," because in reality when I showed up, I was charged $125; almost double. The lady who rang us up at the desk was on her phone most of the transaction, and when I asked why it cost so much, she had no good explanation. She just said that's the price.They also close down a good portion of the lifts at 4pm, which is not very well advertised or communicated. It's not a high end resort at all, I would say it's entry to mid level, so I just can't justify paying $125 for a couple hours on a couple lifts for runs that are only semi-maintained and groomed. I think next time I will go elsewhere and get more bang for my buck.

It has really good runs, and has good spots for beginners. My family went skiing here, and we just got the beginners pass. The beginners pass only has a couple lifts, but it still has access to a lot of runs. My favorite it the Masestic Terian Park, it has really cool jumps and a lot of ramps.
Brighton is my home mountain. I've been skiing here for the past few years, it's hard to beat a mountain that really has it all. I've had issues this past year with Boyne rewards, but they are a separate issue with their points system after purchasing a season pass online (be aware of if you're signed up on rewards before purchase or they will not give you the points. Creating a Boyne ID apparently doesn't automatically sign you up for free rewards?) Anyways.. I wanted to recognize the awesome staff this season for all of their help, kindness, and attentiveness throughout the year. Shout out to Gary, Emma, Mike, and the daytime maintenance crew. These guys are always working their butts off to make sure it's a clean and well taken care of resort. Also, shoutout to Mia for fixing my pass when it was having issues, she went out of her way to make sure it was a smooth rest of the trip for me. Bosses, your workers deserve a raise! I will always have love for Brighton resort!

I did not feel safe skiing at Brighton Resort. In fact, I got hit by a young, out of control skier while I was standing off piste waiting for the crowd to clear before taking a run. Never saw a patroller or mountain safety employee in the three hours we were on the hill, which would probably help mitigate the mayhem. The lift lines are the worst - absolute chaos! The lines slope down to the lifts, there’s no room to queue and most (especially the many beginners who ski here) struggle to get through the line and on the chair. The lift ops are of little help, more interested in dancing to their tunes or talking to each other. It’s a shame as the mountain has some fun terrain and great snow, but the overall experience was most unpleasant. Cannot recommend.

Poorly laid out lifts. Too many inconsiderate snowboarders that like to go to close to other people. There are other superior resorts like Alta and Park
