FINAL DESTINATION
Brighton Resort's Mt. Millicent, or Milly to locals, in all her glory. Few locations have featured so prominently in snowboard media than the areas serviced by this single chair.
Wagon Wheel, Field Goal, Mary Chutes, The Rock Garden, Wolverine Bowl, Decade Dam, Doggy Balls, Chico's Cliff, Swimming Pool, Milk It, and the Twin Lakes Dam are just a sample of the hits, jumps, and features that have made their way to snowboarding edits and videos for over three decades.

For those making their initial pilgrimage to the Promised Land, Milly's Peak and open bowl are the first proper glimpse of Brighton as one rounds the Brighton Loop. To the locals who make their way every season, the same scene becomes a shining beacon reminding us why we return each winter. Its peak is uniquely situated, catching the sun's morning light as it creeps over the resort's Eastern Ridge and the last rays of the day as it sets in the west. Hopefully, you are lucky enough to read this on the Milly deck as we enjoy park laps through Memorial Day to celebrate the greatest snow season on record. The extended season has been a decades-long dream for many at Brighton, and finally it is a reality. Brighton photog Andrew Kooyman captured this rarely seen view of Mt. Millicent illuminated in the evening hours. Sparking the imagination for even bigger dreams. Who's to say if perhaps one day night riding too could become a regular occurrence. Until then allow your imagination to run with hopes and possibilities. Thank you to our readers, sponsors, and partners for your continued support each season.
Arkade will return this fall with Volume 18.
