I'm debating too. Moonlight passes gives you discounts for others like bridger . Moonlight is cheaper but is further drive from Bozeman.

Big sky just bought out moonlight. They are now just one resort. So you could have more siing there for a very high price or ski at bridged bowl. both are good just better park at big sky and both have sick terrain.

I really doubt anything will change for this season. I paid $300 for my moonlight pass in the spring though, so if its now a pass for moonlight, big sky, and Spanish peaks I am pretty stoked!

you don't even know! I will probably be working at the YC this winter, so if my moonlight basin pass works at Big Sky too, they can buy me a Bridger pass instead of Big Sky, so I will be able to ski everything!

Working at Big Sky was the worst instructor experience I have ever had, and I have had quite a few.

Plus, I couldn't afford a BS pass this year, so if I get a free one while not being miserable, that is all fine with me!

ugh would people stop fucking saying this. its gonna take at least a year or two for them to become fully integrated, several of the mtn functions will still be separate, they'll just both be getting boyne paychecks. moonlight might even get to keep the name moonlight. there are still so many unanswered questions as to how this whole merger is gonna work out, i've talked to a bunch of the higher ups and they still don't even know.

They're saying that if you already have a pass to either mountain they will remain good for just that mountain. I think they plan to now offer their "biggest skiing" pass for hopefully a little less. From the looks of all the advertising they are still just selling separate passes to separate mountains, like derfer implied. But day passes will only be sold for the whole entire mountain.

Let's just hope the north summit goes back to mandatory probe beacon and shovel so we can keep Gaper Tom the fuck out.

Hey they are together this year, straight of the FB press....


It’s True. One mountain, undivided with Liberty and Headwaters for all.

Drum roll please; starting October 7th, Season Pass upgrades to all 5750 acres as low as $199 for BSR passholders. Moonlight Passholders can upgrade for as low as $549. Those who already purchased both passes get taken care of too. Check out our website for the full details on passes and upgrades.

yes, BUT for those who don't want to upgrade they will still be skiing just the mountain that they paid for.
