With prime snowmaking conditions, Mt. Brighton’s highly experienced snowmaking team can open the ski area in just two days, which is half the time needed prior to the system’s upgrade. The resort’s recent snowmaking expansion, which was part of a $10 million investment in 2013, ensures the best-quality snow surface for guests of all ability levels.
“Of all of the investments and upgrades put into Mt. Brighton in 2013, the most consistent feedback we hear from guests is how much the quality of the snow has improved,” said Chris Sorensen, general manager of Mt.
