Sightseeing
If you are not skiing or snowboarding, you can still ride the tram up to check out the scenery. There is also a cafeteria style place to sit and eat at the top of hidden peak. Make the trip. Snowbird holds a full moon dinner every so often that is fun.

This Canyon is incredible. I am not huge on Brighton for Skiing as it is more of a beginner mountain , but Solitude is okay. There is lots to hike and climb in this Canyon, but BE CAREFUL.
