Brighton Ski Resort, nestled in the picturesque Big Cottonwood Canyon, is preparing for an eventful offseason with several significant changes on the horizon. Exciting upgrades such as a modern six-pack chairlift replacing the Crest Express and the construction of a brand-new mid-mountain lodge are set to enhance visitors' skiing experience. However, amidst these developments, there is one change that may stir mixed reactions: the introduction of paid parking reservations. This new policy aims to alleviate the persistent traffic congestion in the area, but it comes at a cost. Let's delve deeper into the details of these changes and their implications for the upcoming 2023-24 season.Paid Parking Reservations: A Solution to the Traffic WoesIn an effort to address the ongoing traffic challenges faced by Brighton Ski Resort and its neighboring resorts in Big Cottonwood Canyon, the management has decided to implement a paid parking reservation system. According to Parker Malatesta's report on KPCW, starting from the 2023-24 season, visitors without a Brighton season pass will be required to make a reservation, which will cost $20 on most days and $25 on holidays. Failure to secure a reservation and parking without one will result in a hefty $75 citation, with even stricter penalties for repeated violations.
