Not sure if a thread has already been created for Moonlight... but has anyone been up this season? Tomorrow is turkey day or whatever, bring a turkey or 15 cans of food and ski for FREE!

unfortunately, I have my last final and work at big sky in the afternoon.

Anybody have any info on the snow? terrain? park features?

i might forget some stuff but moonlight has:

flat box, small table, Rollercoaster box, the missle looking barrel set up moderately up, up box, rainbow box, 2 c boxes, urban style down with stairs, barrels galore, up down box, 30 foot ish down lift tower rail, wall ride, barrel-gap-barrel with about an 18 inch gap or so,  flat down (10 foot flat, 20 foot down i think) 30 foot ish up super mellow up down rail and three urban style down rails set up right next to eachother (single barrel, double barrel, box).  I might have missed something but theres moonlights rail line for the most part in order i believe

I was up there on Saturday with a couple friends. It was my first time there and I think that was the most jibs I have ever seen in a park. They were all super fun. The coverage was super shitty though. I don't know why you would build a resort on the windward side of a mountain....

Whats the easiest way to access moonlight Basin from Big Sky? Do I take the Ironhorse Chair and then sneak in? I want to poach bcoz I dont want to spend extra money on lift tickets for Moonlight.

yah, it's easy to do, but make sure you're on top of your game when they catch you... use the old 'oh isn't big sky/moonlight the same? i can't ride here with a big sky pass??' excuse. and be sincere, make it count. cuz if you don't you'll probably get in some trouble. i got busted hardcore hiking features in their park, but they believed the BS story i made up and sent us back to big sky.
