It would require Craig Gordon ski turns to punch in a thousand turns in 700 vertical feet, but this run has a sweet fall-line and provides a good place to try. (See a macro view of Thousand Turns Gully.)
Ride Brighton's Milly chairlift, exit the backcountry gate and ski a high traverse above Brighton's Backdoor run. Then put on your skins and ascend the 300 vertical feet to the top of Thousand Turns Gully.
If you're sans skins, you can ride Brighton's Milly chairlift, boot the ridgeline to the top of Mount Millicent, ski Stupid Chute and Thousand Turns Gully, and return to Brighton by staying skier's right of the Twin Lakes Reservoir.
