Mt. Brighton had great natural snow last winter.  A number of us had a lot of fun skiing downhill Thursday mornings at 10 am.  We plan to ski again at 10 am on Thursdays next year.  Below are the costs for a discounted EPIC local pass which works at Mt. Brighton.  You can make a $49 deposit and pay the rest in the fall.

When you look outside in the winter and there is no or little snow, you may think skiing would not be good at Mt. Brighton.  This is not true, as they have tremendous snow making capabilities whenever it drops below 32 degrees overnight.  In talking with Joe Knop, who is a AASC member and instructor at Mt. Brighton, he said to me they have had good downhill skiing for the past five years due to all the updated snow making equipment.

A daily Mt. Brighton downhill ski pass is not cheap if you buy it at Mt. Brighton.  This year it was $91 for ages 13 to 61 and $81 for 62 and older.  However, you can buy a 1 day EPIC “Local” pass on line now for $56 and add any number for up to 7 days – and it gets cheaper per day with each day you add.  The Local pass works at 22 EPIC resorts in the Midwest and east coast.

You have a choice to buy for peak season or less w/o peak coverage.  If you bought a 7 days Local off peak pass, the cost would be $326 for 7 days, saving $62 over the $56 one day Local pass –  and $241 less than buying a pass for 7 days at Mt. Brighton.

A little complicated until you look at the chart on their website and tinker with it a little. Here is the link to the EPIC local ski Pass: Click Here to learn more about the EPIC Local Ski Pass

 OR, an alternative is to buy an annual Mt. Brighton EPIC pass which only works at Mt. Brighton.  It is $580 for ages 13 to 62 and $428 for those older than 62.  The advantage of this pass is: 1) you can ski any number of day at Mt. Brighton and 2) you can update it for an extra cost for other resorts, such as Vail , Park City, or Telluride etc.  I bought this pass because I may ski more than 7 days at Mt. Brighton next year, and I can update it for a pass that works out west or east at any EPIC resort.  EPIC Brighton only pass:  Click Here to learn more about the EPIC Brighton Only Pass
