The Moonlight Basin Resort features the extreme terrain of the Missouri headwaters. The steep chutes and gullies on the north face of Lone Mountain, once known as the “Nashville Bowl,” can be hiked to from the Headwaters lift or Big Sky’s Challenger lift, both of which unload at just under 10,000 feet. The resort also features terrain consisting of open bowls, tree skiing, moguls, long groomers, beginner runs, and a freestyle terrain park.
The primary lift at Moonlight Basin is the Six Shooter, a high speed six pack chairlift that climbs 1850 vertical feet from the base and is nicknamed “the flying couch.” The Headwaters chairlift connects at the top of Six Shooter, rising another 685 feet, for a total lift-served vertical rise of 2535 feet from the 7000 foot base. The other upper lift is the Lone Tree quad, installed in 2004 for the second season, which allows access to the gladed terrain northwest of the Headwaters. Additional lift-served vertical is attained at Moonlight Basin by purchasing the Lone Peak Pass and taking Big Sky’s tram to the summit of Lone Mountain. |
