Ski resort transfers — Brighton
SLC Airport to Brighton
Brighton is at the top of Big Cottonwood, past Solitude, at the end of the road. A long canyon with a lot of switchbacks in it — which is exactly the drive you want somebody else doing after a flight.
Built for Big Cottonwood
4WD on winter tires all season, so when UDOT posts a traction restriction on the canyon we already meet it. The tires are what keeps us compliant and moving.
The switchbacks are the point
It is a long climb with a lot of turns, in the dark for half the season. Doing it in a rental you picked up an hour ago is a different experience from being driven up it.
Closures, watched not guessed
Avalanche control closes Big Cottonwood without much notice. We check the road report on the morning of your ride and call you if the timing needs to change.
No parking to think about
You are dropped off and collected. Nothing to reserve, nothing to find first thing, and no walk back to a cold car at the end of the day.
Late finishes are fine
Pickups run 24/7, 365 days. If you are on the hill into the evening or catching a red-eye out, the hour is not the problem it would be for somebody else.
Your gear comes free
Skis, boards and boot bags are part of the fare. Five passengers with ski gear in the full-size SUV, six with regular bags.
Never a shared ride
No other parties, no extra stops, no waiting on a van to fill before it starts up the canyon. Your driver is yours for the trip.
Brighton, starting at
Full-size SUV · either direction
| SLC Airport ↔ Brighton | from $200 |
Rates start here and rise with the time of day and any extras. Airport fees are in the price. A day trip to a mountain you are not staying at, and the 14 passenger van, are both quoted per trip.
More rates & what’s included →A pickup late at night, overnight or early in the morning costs more than the same trip in the middle of the day. Whichever applies is in the price we quote you, so nothing is added afterwards.
Where we drop off at Brighton
Cabins and rentals up and down Big Cottonwood as well. Tell us the building or the cabin name when you reserve — up there it beats a street address.
The drive
Down the valley to the mouth of Big Cottonwood, then the climb up the canyon past Solitude to the top. How long it takes depends on the hour, the weather and the traffic at the mouth, so rather than print a number that may not hold, the reservation system shows the estimated drive time on your quote — before you book.
On a big storm morning the canyon backs up long before the lifts turn, and we will suggest an earlier pickup rather than let you sit in it.
Call or text us your flight info on (801) 432-0033 and we’ll help you choose the best pickup time.
Brighton questions
How much is a ride from Salt Lake City Airport to Brighton?
Starting at $200 in the full-size SUV, either direction. Rates start there and rise with the time of day and any extras — so we quote you a price before you book, and that price does not change afterwards. Airport fees are in the price.
What happens if there is a traction restriction on Big Cottonwood?
Nothing changes for you. Our vehicles run 4WD with winter tires all season, which is what the restriction is asking for, so we are compliant before it is posted.
Can you collect us in the evening?
Yes. Pickups run 24/7, 365 days, so a late finish or a late flight out is ordinary work rather than a favor. A pickup late at night or overnight costs more than the same trip in the middle of the day, and the figure is in your quote before you book.
Do skis and snowboards cost extra?
No. Skis, boards and boot bags are part of the fare. Five passengers travel comfortably with ski gear in the full-size SUV, six with regular bags. For a larger group there is a 14 passenger van, quoted per trip rather than priced off a list.
Where do we meet you at the airport?
Curbside as standard. Your driver confirms with you the day before, then meets you at the first curb outside between columns 5A and 6A. If you would rather be met inside baggage claim, meet and greet costs $40.
How far ahead should I reserve?
As early as you can. The further ahead we know about a trip, the better we can plan the day around it — and holiday weeks and the busiest stretches of January go first. Twenty-four hours still works for most trips, and we take later ones by phone.
