Ay everyone i got a job at a ski shop for the winter, first year out here moved from michigan. My options on passes are brighton, Alta, or snowbird. I rode all park in Michigan but am really looking to get into some good terrain focus on trees, chutes, maybe a little AT. So id really like to actually be able to ride park every once n a while but I have heard Alta snowbird don't have parks, but have crazy good terrain. I would be able to get the Alta snowbird combo pass for 350 or I could just get the brighton free. I guess what I'm asking is is Alta, snowbird terrain that much better to make up for no park? Idk what i should do any advice er whatever would be cool.
 
Alta terrain park is a god-damned fun time, natural hits and booters everywhere to link. Honestly more fun than park laps tbh.

Btown has a pretty strong combo of both fun park laps and pretty damn awesome riding on deep days. Night skiing there is awesome because you can nab some awesome treeskiing in the dark as long as you got a headlamp. and of course super laps.

Honestly better terrain does make up for no park, I moved out here from Michigan as well 10 years ago and mostly rode park at brighton/park city and didn't really venture elsewhere till the last 4 seasons or so. Ive been getting the chair-only snowbird pass and its a great deal. The tram is a waste of time usually mid season, all the good skiing can still be accessed via chair, tons of fun hot laps, and you still get tram laps late season when everything shuts down. Its a killer deal. its normally $450 before November or whatever but its still like $550 which is reasonable for sure.

Alta isn't a bad option either. Lots of stuff to play with there. Clearly unreal deep days and plenty of terrain to go bonkers with. Its a fun place, Touring access up grizzly gulch is right there and is extremely popular in the Wasatch. Not bad and theres tons of great shots to ski up around there.
 
Personally i Love snowbird ( Hence the name ) but i go to snowbird cause i have snowboarding family and friends, otherwise i would consider Alta, extremely good snow both places though, snowbird has a terrain park but it’s very small and only open like half the time. and I’m not sure about Alta i don’t think they do but they might. Both have have tons of hits, don’t know much about Brighton but sure it’s awesome as well! But if your are planning on skiing with any snowboarders, don’t go to Alta lol.
 
in my opinion snowbird has the best terrain but as said before no park. I went to brighton this past season and they have some awesome terrain but not as much compared to snowbird but brighton aslo has a really dope park
 
Being from michigan and you've only skied park, go with brighton for sure. Brighton has a ton of great terrain, easy slackcountry access or BC access if you've got some buddies who wanna tour. Plus they have a pretty solid park all season, smallish jumps but tons of sweet rails, hard and easy. You won't regret having a pass to a mountain with a park in the spring, sure all mountain spring skiing is fun, but sometimes you just wanna ski park ya know?

So what do you need us for haha
 
Amazing choice, Brighton and snowbird is the perfect combo. Snowbird stays open the longest in the spring as well.
 
Its a no brainer. Snobird/Alta. You can get some cheap tixs to Brighton anytime. Brighton has awesome side country and is way less crowded but Snowbird/ Alta is legendary

This is what I would do. Snowbird has great terrain and lots of snow, you don't want to miss out on it.

Have fun. I remember when I moved west. I appreciate the little hills I grew up skiing in the east, but the terrain at a place like Snowbird is insane.
