BRIGHTON, UTAH
You’ll want to have an app that tracks your runs if you’re heading to Brighton.
100% of the resort’s terrain can be accessed via high-speed quad so racking
up double digit runs and five figures of vertical trails is not a problem. Brighton
has been recognised as, “The Best Place Where Utah Learns to Ski.” What that
means for you and your students is highly-personalised instruction that will not
only increase abilities but knowledge of the mountain and the surrounding
environment as well.
SNOWBASIN, UTAH
SOLITUDE, UTAH
It’s called that for a reason. You might hear a whisper of laughter riding on a
breeze, but solitude is what you’ll find at, well….Solitude. Tucked up in Utah’s Big
Cottonwood Canyon and only 48 kilometres from the Salt Lake City Airport, Solitude
Mountain Resort offers the most beginner and intermediate terrain in the Salt Lake
area. And if visiting in April, and staying at The Inn at Solitude, you’ll only be steps
from all of that skiing and riding. Throw in the fact that Solitude continues to update
their fantastic facilities that include high speed quads to get you to the famous
Honeycomb Canyon, you can now ski or ride in some of Utah’s biggest open bowls.
9 | NORTH AMERICA
Why do you want to go to the States to ski? If it’s because you like chest-deep
snow and 100km of trails that hosted the Olympic Games, you’ll want to signup for Snowbasin. The locals call Snowbasin “The Last Best Mountain in the
USA” for good reason: huge snow and no crowds. If that’s not enough, there’s
plenty to do at night as part of the included Visions programme, featuring
dine around restaurants, ice skating, bowling, shopping, cinemas and roller
skating, most within walking distance of your hotel. If some in your
group want to take in a bit of American sports culture, upgrade options
include tickets to basketball and hockey games.
