Mount Bachelor ski resort is a ski resort located in central Oregon, approximately 22 mi west of Bend, along the Century Drive Highway.
 The ski runs are on the northern face of Mount Bachelor, a stratovolcano built atop a volcanic shield in the Cascade Range.
 Since 2001, the ski area has been owned by Powdr Corporation of Park City, Utah.
 It is the largest ski resort (by area) by more than 1000 acre in Oregon, the second largest single-mountain ski resort in the U.S., behind Vail, and the sixth largest of all ski resorts in the nation.
Brighton Ski Resort is a ski area located in Big Cottonwood Canyon, 30 mi from downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.
 It is owned by CNL Lifestyle Properties and operated by Boyne Resorts.
 Brighton Ski Resort was the first ski resort in Utah, and one of the first in the United States.
 Brighton was started in 1936 when members of the Alpine Ski Club built a rope tow from wire and an old elevator motor.
 The resort was named for Thomas W. Brighton, who is credited with constructing the first buildings in the area.
 Brighton claims to be a "no-frills" resort whose sole business is to provide skiers and snowboarders with top-notch trails.
 While it does provide lodging, dining, and shopping, the extent of the facilities does not make Brighton what is typically seen as a destination ski resort.
 Most Brighton skiers and riders are Utah locals.
 Most visitors do not stay at Brighton-run lodging; many visitors stay in the greater Salt Lake area, many of whom also plan trips to other area ski resorts.
