They didn't fully pay their contractors... They put minimal planning into their mountain... Good riddance.

I wonder what will happen now? Will Big Sky manage it this season? How are they planning on running the lifts?

How big would it actually be if the Boynes bought out moonlight and made it part of big sky?

3,812 acres + 1,900 acres = 5712 skiable acres...

That would make it larger than Vail (5,289 acres) and the biggest in the USA (still nowhere near Whistler which is over 8000 - biggest in North America) and this doesnt even include all of the awesome stuff they forget to mention as part of the resort, i'd imagine.

Good point...but isn't the big sky/moonlight pass like $1800? I think they should just put all the moonlight rails in Big Sky since big jumps are not looking so good right now.

i wish there was a $1000 or so pass that gave you access to Big Sky, Lone Peak and Bridger.

I'll be honest... I'm going to miss spending 600 bucks and getting Squaw, Alpine, and Homewood on 2 different passes... and being able to treck it over between resorts when i feel like growing titanium balls...
