MICRODOSE | Brighton Resort | Episode 4

In MICRODOSE: Brighton Episode 04, we talk with JP Walker and Jeremy Jones to learn how the terrain and many talented riders at Brighton informed their early perspectives on snowboarding (shoutout Jason Brown!).
As well, we pay homage to Dave Farmer, the mountain man responsible for running Brighton’s chairlifts and ushering generations of young riders into the great outdoors.
This episode features additional interviews with Brighton locals Jared Eberhardt, Brandon Ruff, Tim Ostler, Seth Huot, Mitch Nelson, and Brandon Bybee, as well as vintage photos and snowboarding footage from the archives of Absinthe Films, Kingpin Productions, Fall Line Films, and Mindset Imagery.

My best friend came from two folks who worked and created the brighton culture you saw here. They've passed and their son is a world class human and boarder. This is really amazing to watch, thank you!

I grew up in southern Utah and remember watching all of the Mack Dawg videos and just dreaming of going to salt lake and riding. Then moving up to SLC and riding Brighton and PC and seeing all these pros just killing it around me was so surreal. Love seeing this throwback

I moved to Salt Lake in Sept '92 and have had a pass at Brighton ever since. I remember the first year or two that they had a terrain park, I had just learned bacside 5's off a side hit and wanted to take it to the park jumps but kept psyching myself out. Rolled into the top of the jumps next to a super cute blondie getting ready to drop in and thought, "Aw precious, she's gonna try and clear this". She rolls in and busts the smoothest bacside 5 indy I had seen in person to that point...turns out it was Shannon Dunn. Inspired me to finally do one (not that run, i was completely shook!), and taught me to never underestimate people on the mountain!

I remember going to Milo Sport as a kid and Benny being the absolute man. This video is so sick! Utah is the best
