Facilities & Services
Brighton Mountain Resort has fairly basic services and facilities. They cover the basics, but Brighton could generally be characterised as “no-frills”.
Eating On Mountain
The main cafeteria at Brighton is the Alpine Rose located at the main base of the resort. The eatery serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. The hearty fare is pretty standard for a ski resort cafeteria and the prices are very reasonable. On nice weather days, try the BBQ out on the deck.
The Molly Green’s pub is a great place for lunch. The menu is varied and the atmosphere in the A-frame building is very conducive to perching for a long lunch in front of the fire.
The new Millicent Chalet at the base of the Milly chair is a fantastic addition to the resort so that riders no longer have to get over to the Majestic side in order to fuel up. The food is very reasonable at the Milly Chalet, but the ugly concrete monstrosity is probably avalanche proof, and would probably also survive a nuclear attack.
Other options for a snack or coffee are the Funky Red Bus or the Beehive Brews Coffee Bar. For those prepared to go for a half mile walk from the base area, the Brighton Chalet services hearty home style meals.
Picnic lunches are welcome in the Brighton Center or in Brighton Manor.
Facilities for Children
Brighton does not offer child care. Skiing lessons are held for ages four and above, but the only option for children under 4 is to utilise the Solitude ski resort child care facilities.
Ski and Snowboard School
Brighton snowsports school provides a variety of programs including lessons for alpine skiing, snowboarding, parks and pipes, and telemarking.
For the kids, lessons for skiers and boarders are held in either two hour formats or for the full day. Lessons are very well priced and lunch is included in the package, and equipment rentals are only a little extra.
For youths and adults group lessons are for two hours. Private lessons are also held and are some of the cheapest in Utah, so this could be the place to get some individualised attention.
Ski and Snowboard Rental
Brighton rent out standard Burton snowboards and Salomon skis as well as various brands of high performance equipment. Snowboard rental in particular is very inexpensive.
Tune-ups, waxes, and repairs are available at the repair shop.
