Big-D Signature, along with Brighton Resort and Bluebird Day Architecture, completed the construction of Sidewinder Grill, a mid-mountain rest area for skiers and snowboarders.
A unique addition to Brighton Resort, this mid-mountain lodge is a single story 4,618 square-foot hybrid structure that includes three repurposed shipping containers; one container serves as a pre-constructed restroom pod while the other two containers combine to one large kitchen as a commercial counter-style restaurant. On each side of the container module, two dining halls framed with heavy timber and steel will accommodate 180 hungry outdoor enthusiasts. Additionally, the exterior seating areas will provide 7,600 square feet of outdoor seating occupancy on a heated concrete terrace for outdoor dining and relaxation experiences.
About the Lodge
“We are thrilled about this project because we are always looking for ways to give our skiers and snowboarders the best experience when they are at Brighton,” said Mike Doyle of Brighton Resort. “Sidewinder Grill will offer a beautiful setting with greater accessibility to food, restrooms and amenities for all of our guests across both the winter and summer seasons on the mountain.”
Prime Location
Sidewinder Grill is located right above the Snake Creek ski lift, and where the Sunshine and Pioneer runs meet, giving patrons additional on-mountain options. In addition, Signature provided concrete foundations for (16) towers and top and bottom
terminals for a new Doppelmayr D-series lift to replace the existing 30-year-old lift. This lift is one of the main
lifts running from the parking lot to the top ridge. The bottom terminal sits at an elevation of 8,784’ with the
top terminal at 9,980’.
