I call bullshit. Park City might have 30 rails, but Moonlight on their opening year of a park will most certainly not have 30 rails. That would cost money, and my guess is that Moonlight does not have a ton of dinero to use on building chunks of metal.

That rumor's been circulating for a couple years now. I kind of doubt they'll get a park because there's nobody there that would ski it, which would be a bit counter productive.

The new Jack Nicolous golf course that they are putting in is going to bring in some serious revenue.  The memberships to the course start at 125,000.  Pretty exclusive.  Moonlight may not be doing all that well on the ski hill as far as profit goes, but they are killing it in the real estate market right now.  You would be surprised.

What makes you think they will reinvest into the skiing? That is almost never the case in Montana.

I think it would actually make pretty good business sense for Moonlight to put up a park. Even with the added business costs of operating a decent park, the lift tickets would be nowhere close to the cost of a big sky ticket and w/ the free passes they give out they could build a pretty good following.

They will have a park soon, maybe not right away or this season but soon, the management is cool. I was a mountain guide there and they let us build one table once on a groomer under the six, people over shot it because the inrun was steep and it got plowed. They will get one, they have sick cats.

They should, seeing as they're so desperate for business.
