 It is owned by CNL Lifestyle Properties and operated by Boyne Resorts.
 Brighton Ski Resort was the first ski resort in Utah, and one of the first in the United States.
 Brighton was started in 1936 when members of the Alpine Ski Club built a rope tow from wire and an old elevator motor.
 The resort was named for Thomas W. Brighton, who is credited with constructing the first buildings in the area.
 Brighton claims to be a "no-frills" resort whose sole business is to provide skiers and snowboarders with top-notch trails.
 While it does provide lodging, dining, and shopping, the extent of the facilities does not make Brighton what is typically seen as a destination ski resort.
 Most Brighton skiers and riders are Utah locals.
 Most visitors do not stay at Brighton-run lodging; many visitors stay in the greater Salt Lake area, many of whom also plan trips to other area ski resorts. Ludlow Mountain
