Brighton Ski Resort Parking Lot Live Cam

This camera keeps watch over the parking lot at Brighton Resort, at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah's Wasatch Mountains, and it is one of the most practical cameras on the mountain.

On busy days, especially powder mornings and weekends, parking at Brighton fills up fast, and checking the lot before you leave Salt Lake City can save a frustrating drive. The canyon is narrow and winding, about 45 minutes from the city, and traffic can back up on storm days, when traction laws are often in effect and the road may close temporarily for avalanche control.

Brighton is one of the oldest ski areas in Utah, dating back to the 1930s, and it remains a local favorite for its relaxed vibe, its terrain parks and its night skiing. Its slopes receive plenty of Utah's famous light, dry snow, and the resort sits right next to Solitude Mountain Resort.

The camera also gives a sense of the weather at the base: whether snow is falling, how deep it is piling up on cars and the lot, and how bright the day is. Early mornings and late afternoons show the ebb and flow of skiers arriving and leaving.

The camera is provided by Brighton Resort.
