if you have a pc pass and a snowbasin pass i would go with brighton, but it depends i guess canyons has a fun park and im sure next year its going to be pretty damn fun, brighton also has a really fun park, not as big but still really fun, and plus on a pow day brighton is good with close backcountry access and some fun pillows etc. if i was you i would go to brighton but i am also slightly biased considering i work there ha.

, do the cottonwoods close often?* Little Cottonwood closes more often than big, and big doesn't close that often at all. Brighton is in Big.

yea this, it takes a shit-ton of snow to close Bcc and when they do they try to do it early in the morning.

Wow dude Brighton is beat. If you like no park and skiing about 100 vertical per run it's the place for you. If this doesn't sound like you then see you at Canyons. Can you say biggest resort in Utah, over 69,000 acres of ski-able terrain sounds pretty chill to me.

Brighton no question. I don't know why you are even considering the canyons. If I were getting three passes I would go with Powder Mountain, Brighton, and Snowbird.

Brighton for sure. I've had a B-town pass for a number of years, but made the switch to Canyons the last 2. Definitely going back to B this year. I had great days up at Canyons, but couldnt tell you how many times this year I wish I still had my B pass. Theres nothing quite like being able to shred down to your car, switch layers, grill, drink some beers, then hop right back on the lift. That was the biggest downfall of Canyons to me. Its just TOO big. You have to ride at least 3 lifts before you can even start riding anything decent on the mountain, and it takes a close to hour to get back to the base if you're back in the Dream Peak area. Not fun when it starts raining, trust me.

i dont ever want to give my money to the canyons. if you can get a shop pass or borrow a friends pass, its a pretty fun mountain. if you have to pay, pay for a brighton pass.

and about half the snow, a tenth the cliffs, and a terrible park placement that makes it nearly impossible to hit the jibs. I had a brighton/canyons pass this year, and Id go brighton for sure. canyons is laid out HORRIBLE and just doesnt have that chill feel to it. Like said above its sick being able to ski down and see everyone grillin out and drinking and just chill with people. Plus there is much better and more accessible side/back country
