ABOUT MOON LIGHT BASIN
RESORT
Moonlight Basin Ski Resort
is on the north face of Lone Mountain. In December 2003 after careful,
environmentally sensitive planning and development, Moonlight Basin Ski Area
opened and has quickly gained a reputation as a first-class, year-round
destination, Montana ski resort.
At Moonlight Basin
you'll have lots of time and freedom to bag the chutes and glades
because the lift lines are short and the crowds are few. Its northerly exposure
helps retain the 400 or so inches of light and dry powder that falls most
years.
The Headwaters Chair
brings boarders and skiers up from the bottom of Moonlight Basin to
The Headwaters Terrain, boasting just about the steepest terrain
anywhere inbounds in the Rockies. This terrain, only accessible by hiking a few
years ago, is now lift-accessed. More than 3,500 acres, accessed by 12 lifts is
open!
This will position Moonlight
Basin as a must ski destination. And with Moonlight Basin and Big Sky
Resort offering joint lift tickets, the nearly 5,300 acres of present terrain
already makes this place the largest skiable terrain in the United States!
Eat your heart out Vail
and Mammoth...
Moonlight Basin is a
pretty laid-back, friendly place with outstanding staff, awesome
scenery, and challenging terrain. Choose valet parking or do it yourself. Hire a
Mountain Guide or go it alone. Ask for your free tour of Moonlight Basin's
portion of Lone Mountain on your first visit, or go tour it with your
friends.
When the ski day is done or
you’re not in the mood to ski, see the concierge to treat yourself to a
spa, ice-skate, swim, work out at the health club, go dog-sledding,
take a snowshoe tour, head into town, even tour Yellowstone National Park.
During the other three seasons, ask the concierge to set you up
for fly fishing, rafting, canoeing, rock climbing, mountain biking, or hiking,
and next year Jack Nicklaus will have his Signature golf course finished for you
to shag some balls at about
7000’. |
