Moonlight, along with neighboring Big Sky Resort, flank opposite sides of Montana's Lone Peak. They've shared the same mountain and even some trails in the past, and this season they're sharing a lift ticket — you can kick down once and ride the combined 5,300 acres. That makes Big Sky and Moonlight bigger than any other U.S. resort (Vail is second with 5,289 acres).
