A 61-year-old man critically injured after Brighton Ski Resort accident
Brighton, Utah — Wednesday a man skiing at Brighton Ski Resort was critically injured after running into a snowbank.
According to police, a 61-year-old man was skiing with his son when it’s believed snow from nearby snow machines covered the man’s goggles, causing him to crash.
