I went to Denver last week to attend the Snowboard Tradeshow, SIA. There buyers and media were shown next years product from all of the major snow companies. I thought Brighton readers might like to see a bit of product from some of our park sponsors so heres some select 2013 goods from Lib Tech, Airblaster, Stepchild, Electric and 32.

Next seasons Skate Banana moves toward a more traditional Lib Tech artsy graphic

Brighton’s 75th Birthday Party!

Meghan — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 21:13:01 +0000

Last night Brighton celebrated its 75th birthday. There was a raffle/giveaways, ice sculpture, smores and fireworks! Plenty came to celebrate and cash in on the 2 for $75 deal the resort had going on. Between the beer, smores, and raffle everyone seemed to be in a good excited mood and the fireworks looked amazing through the light layer of fog that rolled in around 7:15.

Heres an edit from Friday nights Nike Chosen rail jam on the steps of downtown’s Energy Solutions Arena. Kab rails, who supplies the features in our terrain park, was involved in creating a pretty sick set up. You will see lots of familiar Brighton locals in this edit by Chris Shields including former park crew members Brandon Hobush and Ted “Bundy” Borland. Winner of the jam was current park crew member Parker Worthen. Congrats Parker … now get up here and start digging the jibs out from all this snow!

Jesse — Mon, 16 Jan 2012 03:07:04 +0000

SLUG magazine was at Brighton this past Saturday presenting their annual SLUG GAMES, this years theme being Dawn of the Shred. DJ Matty Mo was on the scene providing beats for all the contestants along with pretty much everybody on the hill as the set up was right underneath Majestic Lift. As always SLUG fronted the bill for all contestants registration and created a unique feature for the event, being a tombstone bonk box, which i heard might be staying on the hill for a little bit.
