Moonlight is the sister mountain to Big Sky and just keeps adding to the size of your skiing experience. You do need a separate or combo lift ticket when skied with Big Sky. These folks could not be friendlier. We traveled everywhere in the area by free shuttle. We stayed at Big Sky and walked or shuttled to everything in... More

Having been an annual visitor to Whitefish I was accustomed to great service and no crowds. I was wowed to find the service even better, friendlier and dare I say less crowded. Moonlight is 2000 acres of varied terrain from beginner to extreme with the incredible Headwaters which sits above Stillwater Bowl. Both kids participated in ski school multiple days... More

We have been skiing Moonlight since 2007, and will not go anywhere else! We skied Christmas week, and finished with the last week. 4 days of snow and powder skiing groomed runs for 8 days! Our 3 year old grandchild was in ski school/daycare with the best staff, Keya and Beth Ann. Her lessons were to be group, every day... More

We spent one day skiing at Moonlight Basin after four days at Big Sky. We were with our children ages 6 and 8 and we absolutely loved Moonlight. It is extremely beautiful, more laid back, less crowded, lower costs and just simply spectacular. It is not as large as Big Sky yet still has plenty of runs ranging from greens... More

Fun, fun, fun! Lots of varied trails for all levels, not crowded, great eats! Views are amazing! Stayed in Big Sky Town Center area and the daily commute was fast and easy. For late March conditions on the slope were so good. We hit the slopes everyday for our whole 5 day visit. We did ski Big Sky but we... More

We took our family on our first ever ski vacation to moonlight basin, big sky Montana. It was incredible! We all did ski school the first few days. The kids can do full or half day and the adults do half day. I signed up for a group lesson but was the only one in my group, so it ended... More

Very convenient annd casual. We were able to park 50 feet from the pavilion and patio. No shuttles were needed. At noon access to our car and coooler was easy for a quick picnic slopeside. The runs were great and staff very friendly.

Just back from 5 days of skiing -- 3 at Big Sky and 2 at Moonlight Basin. Both are outstanding spots with Big Sky taking on the role of big brother to Moonlight Basin. We stayed at Bucks T 4 and they had discounted tickets for $60 per day, a savings of over $20 as compared to Big Sky. A... More

My husband, kids and friend had a blast skiing and snowboarding here. The best part was that even though it was a holiday (president's day) it wasn't crowded at all. Some of the runs they were the only ones on the run! I think it has to do with the runs being so long (one was around 5 miles) and... More

We rented a slopeside condo, and were amazed at how great Moonlight was! No lift lines at all!!! Lift ticket pricing is great!!! The terrain is great for all levels - and my kids enjoyed the tree skiing! It is so peaceful and quiet I felt like I was at a private resort. Every staff member I encountered was friendly,... More
