Moonlight Basin in Montana neighbors the more popular Big Sky Resort. Moonlight opened in 2003, and offers 2,200 acres of skiing. It lacks crowds and boasts beautiful scenery, a western flair and a bounty of terrain for every one in your family - serene to super steep in Headwater Bowl.
Moonlight and Big Sky together now offer skiers 5,500 acres with the interconnected ticket "The Biggest Skiing in America" which offers more terrain than Vail or Snowbird and Alta combined.
A
Moonlight Basin
family ski trip is relaxed. Gorgeous mountainside
homes are available for a ski week, and the centerpiece Moonlight Lodge is a
great place to go for après ski or dinner at The Timbers. The Moonlight Spa
offers every treatment imaginable plus a tempting outdoor hot tub with views of Big Sky
and Lone Peak.
Moonlight's Montanan staff is super friendly. Ski instruction and all day camps for kids, plus snowshoeing and dog sledding are a few of the extra resort activities.
Take a day off from the snowy slopes of Big Sky to visit the Nation's first national park, Yellowstone National Park, where you can snowmobile or ride in a snow coach to see bison, elk, coyotes and thermal geysers including the famous Old Faithful. Moonlight Basin feels like a private resort given its exceptional lodging and lack of skiers and riders. You will find fresh powder and posh lodging, kind of like nearby Yellowstone Club, only without the private members only stamp.
