One of the top reasons we LOVE Brighton and our Slopeside Cabin (in the winter / spring) is the SNOW! Brighton Resort averages 500 inches of fluffy, dry, powder snow annually and sits in a perfect position at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. Other winter perks are: all terrain is accessible by high speed quads, the largest night-skiing operation in Utah, a top quality and highly rated ski and snowboard school, and extensive backcountry access from the resort. The resort is also steeped in mountain history and culture, as Brighton was the was the first ski resort in Utah.
In the summer and fall, Brighton abounds in majestic mountain scenery, wildflowers (summer), fall foliage (fall), recreational opportunities, and the ideal climate. There are five-star hikes for beginners to experts to numerous mountain lakes and peaks. At Solitude Resort (2 miles down canyon from the Slopeside Cabin) there is also lift-accessed mountain biking, an 18-hole disc golf course, and several other amenities.
Staying at the Slopeside Cabin you can maximize your time enjoying the mountains- either on the hill skiing and snowboarding in the winter or hiking, fishing, and wildflower / wildlife viewing in the summer or fall. You can leave right from the front door and be immediately immersed in the majestic Wasatch mountains- without ever stepping into a vehicle your entire stay. This is WHY we chose BRIGHTON and the SLOPESIDE CABIN!
