Brighton averages over 500 inches of snow annually, and its high elevation means it’s one of the most reliable early-season ski resorts in North America. The lift network may be compact, but it offers everything from mellow beginner terrain off Explorer and Majestic chairs to challenging steeps in Milly Bowl. Experts can hike from Mount Millicent for short but intense chutes and cliff drops, conditions depending. Intermediates should head to Snake Creek for wide-open groomers like Thunder Road. Explore the upper bowls and tree stashes. Brighton’s mix of alpine and glade skiing means you can adjust to changing light and snow conditions throughout the afternoon.

4:00 PM – Return to the accommodations 6:00 PM – Dinner is served by the PeakHouse team. Day 3 – Friday, January 8 | Snowbird 07:30 AM – Breakfast at the lodge before heading to ski 08:30 AM – Depart for Snowbird Snowbird’s vast vertical and variety of terrain make it one of the most versatile mountains in the Wasatch. Take the Tram to the 11,000-foot summit for your first run of the day. Experts can drop straight into steep classics like Great Scott or Silver Fox, while intermediates warm up on the long blues of Mineral Basin. Advanced skiers should explore the Little Cloud and Peruvian lifts for challenging groomers and adventurous tree skiing. And if Pipeline is open… it might be your chance to ski/ride one of the most legendary runs in the world, provided you can handle the downclimb. 4:00 PM – Wrap up the ski day and head back to the accommodation 6:30 PM – Group dinner in Salt Lake City! Day 4 – Saturday, January 9 | Alta (Skiers Only) / Snowbird for Snowboarders 07:30 AM – Group breakfast at the lodge 08:30 AM – Depart for the resort Take a short drive up Little Cottonwood Canyon to two of the most epic ski resorts in the world. Skiers head to Alta, a legendary ski-only mountain famous for its deep snow, technical terrain, and old-school charm. Intermediates can start in Albion Basin for scenic blues, while advanced skiers lap Supreme and Sugarloaf for sustained, challenging descents. Experts can aim for iconic lines like High Rustler or Baldy Chutes if conditions allow. Alta’s high base elevation and north-facing terrain hold snow quality late into the day. Snowboarders head next door to Snowbird, with access to 3,200 vertical feet of terrain once again. 4:00 PM – Return to the lodge for a rest and gear prep for tomorrow 6:30 PM – Optional group dinner & après in town Options ranging from casual Mexican to upscale New American dining in Salt Lake’s Sugarhouse neighborhood. We’ve rented out a private chalet with a fully stocked kitchen! Day 5 – Sunday, January 10 | Solitude 08:30 AM – Depart for Solitude Begin your day on Apex Express and Moonbeam areas, which feature long, scenic groomers ideal for strong intermediates. Advanced skiers can warm up on the steeper pitches off Powderhorn before heading to the mountain’s signature zone: Honeycomb Canyon. This backcountry-style bowl offers natural lines and dramatic descents, but hiking zones require avalanche gear and know-how. Spend the afternoon chasing shaded powder stashes; Solitude’s orientation means fresh snow can linger for days after a storm. The resort’s 500 inches of annual snowfall often comes the same light, fluffy storms as other parts of the Cottonwoods. 4:00 PM – Return to your lodge for a final evening. 6:30 PM – Enjoy a farewell dinner made for you by the PeakHouse team Day 6 – Monday, January 11 | Departure + Optional Half-Day Skiing 07:30 AM – Breakfast & Departure Slow morning at the accommodations, or take a short stroll through Salt Lake’s neighborhoods if time allows.
