Brighton, UT – Utah’s Brighton Resort will be teaming up with local pros to create a pre-season terrain park named “The BoneZone”.
Originally built at nearby Guardsman Pass around 2008 and hidden from Forest Service officials, the BoneZone was the result of the creative minds of Ted Borland, Alex Andrews and many other of today’s Utah snowboard pros until it was discovered and dismantled in 2013. After years of YouTube edits, social media coverage and a huge underground following, Brighton Resort will be adopting it to their already extensive terrain park program.

“We had been creating parks in the woods for years during the pre-season,” Borland explains. “Since Brighton is our favorite place to ride, it was a perfect fit to bring the Bone Zone there.”
During the pre-season, before Brighton opens, the BoneZone will be located in the resort’s beginner area known as Explorer.
“The BoneZone will consist of a range of features created out of logs as well as some traditional steel obstacles,” explains Brighton Resort’s PR & Marketing Director, Jared Winkler. “We had large numbers of athletes coming to the mountain before we opened for the winter and dragging out a lot of our terrain park features and ultimately slowing up the process of opening up the resort. We feel this is a great alternative that makes everyone happy.”
The Bonezone will open to snowboarders, skiers, snow bikers and other snow enthusiasts as soon as conditions allow. No pass will be required, although Winkler indicates that participants may need to sign a liability waiver.
Once the resort’s lifts open for the season and terrain expands, The Bonezone features will be moved to upper mountain terrain parks.
