Top 3 “Après Ski” Activities – Brighton Resort, Utah
Lacking a traditional mountain village can make it hard to find après-ski (or after-ski) activities during your trip to Brighton Resort. But don’t make the fun stop even after your ski day at Brighton. Brighton après-ski activities may be hard to find, but you’re looking in the right place!
Parking Lot Parties and Night Skiing!
Parking lot parties in Brighton are known for being spontaneous and grassroots. The grills light up, the tailgates drop, and the good times roll after a big powder day. Join the crowd, pack a camp chair, and bring some local beer. On top of this, Brighton is the only resort in Utah to offer night skiing if you’re not quite ready to give up yet. You may continue turning turns under the stars until late at night.
Hit up the Brighton Lodge and Hot Tub!
Although there isn’t much accommodation, the Brighton Lodge has comfortable rooms close to the slopes and, more significantly, a hot tub that’s great for relieving aching legs. Despite its straightforward design, the unrivaled location and laid-back vibe make it a hidden gem. Be sure to book well in advance!
Pop-Up Events & Historic Adventures!
There’s always something going on at Brighton, from the explosive energy of the Bombhole Cup to anniversary celebrations and unexpected pop-up events with concerts/performances. Stay up to date with their calendar to plan accordingly for the multitude of events that Brighton hosts every year! History abounds in the area as well. Take a walk among the historic lodges, explore abandoned mining sites, or stop by the nearby Solitude Mountain Village (only ten minutes down Big Cottonwood Canyon) for additional dining and retail opportunities.
Brighton may have fewer accommodations, but it has a lot of spirit, and that’s what draws visitors back. Enjoy your trip to Brighton Resort!
