BRIGHTON, UT—Brighton is excited to announce its opening day with three lifts running on Friday, November 11, 2022. The resort has received 60″ inches of snow since October 22nd, with more expected throughout the day.

“Early season snowfall and low temps allowed us to set up the mountain pretty early in the season this year,” said Jared Winkler, Brighton Resort Director of Marketing. “We estimate that between 50 and 200 snowboarders and skiers have been coming up here every day since the first big storm of the season a few weeks ago.”

Majestic, Explorer, and Snake Creek lifts will be running seven days a week from 9:00AM until 4:00PM. Crest Express is expected to open soon after. Adult Lift tickets will be sold for $80 with Grom tickets available for $55.

Brighton is offering the Bright-N-Early Pass, a special early-season pass for only $249 – good for unlimited skiing and riding between opening day and Dec. 22. Post Dec. 22, Bright-N-Early passholders can choose to upgrade to any 22/23 season pass, applying the amount paid to their purchase.

On November 11th, to celebrate their service, Brighton is offering free skiing or riding to all active military and veterans. These lift tickets will only be available at the ticket windows, proof of eligibility required. 

Night operations are scheduled to start December 12th.
