It’s official! Ski and snowboard season has begun in Utah, and Brighton Resort is the first to open. The lifts started spinning on the morning of Wednesday, November 18th. Utah is having a good start to the snow year, as Brighton opened with a 22 inch base. Three lifts are running including Crest Express, Explorer, and the Majestic Quad.
Ski Utah sent out some raw video from the day, so I decided to have a little fun and put together this quick edit. Enjoy:
Snowbird announced that it will officially be opening on Friday, November 20, one day earlier than they initially thought.
