Night skiing has always been a favorite of mine, starting way back in high school and going with friends to Sundance Mountain Resort after a day stuck in classes. We’d stop by a gas station, grab a few snacks and sodas and hit the slopes. Now as an adult, it’s only more magical. The day’s responsibilities are done, kids are home, dinner is cleaned up, and suddenly you’re clicking into your bindings under the glow of lights, filling your lungs with that brisk mountain air.
Night skiing changes a resort, terrain you’ve lapped a hundred times suddenly asks for a little more attention and the chairlift rides take on a quieter, cozier vibe. If you’re looking to shake things up this winter, or squeeze more turns into busy schedules, here’s where you can night ski in Utah for the 2025–26 season, with the latest hours, pricing and updates.
Brighton
Brighton continues to be one of the gold standards for night skiing in Utah, and this season they’ve doubled down.
Night riding runs Monday through Saturday until 9 p.m., with select holiday Sundays added into the mix. Multiple lifts spin straight from day into night, and expanded lighting now brings even more terrain into play, including new night access on Milly.
With over 200 acres lit, multiple terrain parks open, rentals available, and lessons offered in the evenings, Brighton is a strong option for families, after-work laps, or riders looking to progress under the lights.
Pricing varies depending on the time of year, type of ticket you purchase, and how soon in advance you purchase the tickets. This is a pretty standard range of pricing you can expect on night passes. Kids passes are around $40–$55, adults passes are around $60–$80, and seniors passes range from $55–$75.
Holiday Sunday night sessions are scheduled for select dates in December, January, and February. Check out their website here to purchase tickets and learn more.
Sundance Mountain Resort
Night skiing at Sundance feels like “coming home” to me, it’s the first resort I night skied and one I frequent often. (Although the other resorts have quickly shown me that night skiing is great all over Utah.)
For the 2025–26 season, night skiing is offered Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 4:30–9:30 p.m., conditions permitting. Much of the front mountain is lit, including terrain accessed by the Outlaw and Jake’s lifts, plus the terrain park.
It’s a great option for families or anyone who wants a quiet, relaxed night skiing experience without giving up quality terrain.
Pricing: $50–$69 depending on date and skier category. You can purchase tickets or learn more here on their website.
Powder Mountain
If value is your priority, Powder Mountain continues to deliver.
Night skiing runs every day from 4–9 p.m., with tickets at $24. It’s straightforward, affordable, and welcoming for skiers and riders of all ages. Powder’s night scene is about cruising laps, enjoying space and keeping things simple. Just the way time in the mountains ought to be spent. To learn more or to purchase tickets, click here.
Woodward Park City
Woodward is the place for progression after dark.
Night skiing focuses on terrain parks, progression zones, and indoor/outdoor training features, with night tubing also available. This is an ideal spot for kids, teens, and adults who want to work on skills, try new tricks, or just mix skiing with something a little different.
Pricing varies widely depending on activity, booking window, and time of season, so planning ahead is key. Learn more on their website here.
Brian Head Ski Resort
Heading south? Brian Head offers one of the most affordable night skiing options in the state.
Night skiing typically runs Fridays and Saturdays from 4–9 p.m., with extended schedules during holiday periods. The Blackfoot lift serves night terrain, and rentals are available during evening hours.
Pricing: ranges from about $10–$33 depending on timing and how far in advance you book. Full-day tickets can often be upgraded for night access at a reduced rate. Purchase tickets or learn more here.
Beaver Mountain
Beaver Mountain does night skiing a little differently.
Most night operations are reserved for private groups, school events, or community gatherings, though a handful of public nights are sprinkled throughout the season. When it’s open, the Little Beaver lift and magic carpet provide access to lit beginner-friendly terrain, along with lessons and rentals.
This is a great option for group events, family reunions, or organizations looking for a private, laid-back night on the hill.
Learn more and check pricing here on their website.
Cherry Peak
Cherry Peak’s night skiing typically runs Monday through Saturday from 5–8 p.m. It’s known for offering some of the most vertical feet available under the lights in Utah, along with affordable pricing and family-friendly options like a magic carpet for younger kids.
Keep an eye on Cherry Peak’s updates as terrain availability is finalized. You can learn more on their website here.
Nordic Valley
Nordic Valley is in a transition phase for night skiing.
For the 2025–26 season, night skiing will be limited to select dates and special events, including rail jams. The resort is actively investing in major electrical and lighting upgrades aimed at bringing full top-to-bottom night skiing on the Apollo side for the 2026–27 season.
While options are limited this winter, the long-term vision points toward a stronger, more consistent night skiing experience in the near future. Stay up to date on when those select night skiing dates are on their website.
Final Thoughts
Night skiing is about stealing moments on the slopes where you can, whether it’s after work, after school, or after the world slows down a bit. It’s about watching your kids light up as they realize skiing doesn’t end when the sun goes down. And most importantly, It’s about turning an ordinary winter evening into something memorable.
Utah offers more night skiing options than almost anywhere else in the country, each with its own personality and pace. Find the one that fits your style, bundle up, and get after it. Winter fun doesn’t have to end at sunset!
