Winter in Big Sky has always carried a certain magic — crisp mornings, fresh snowfall, and a rhythm that invites you to slow down and take it all in. Just under an hour from Bozeman, this season’s experience reaches a new level with the opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin, a highly anticipated addition that further defines Big Sky as a world-class mountain destination.
Thoughtfully designed to complement its surroundings, One&Only Moonlight Basin feels less like a resort and more like a natural extension of the landscape — refined, intentional, and unmistakably Montana.
The arrival of One&Only Moonlight Basin marks an important moment not only for Big Sky, but for the broader Bozeman and Gallatin Valley region. Known globally for creating immersive luxury destinations rooted in place, the One&Only brand’s presence here reflects the continued evolution of Southwest Montana — one that values thoughtful development, quality design, and long-term livability.
Rather than changing the character of the area, One&Only enhances it, reinforcing Big Sky’s connection to Bozeman as a cultural, culinary, and travel hub just a short drive away.
At its core, One&Only Moonlight Basin is designed around winter living. Ski-in/ski-out access places guests directly on the slopes, while interiors emphasize warmth, light, and connection — expansive windows framing snow-covered peaks, natural materials, and spaces meant for gathering after a day outdoors.
It’s a reminder of how intentional design shapes the way we experience winter — whether during a weekend stay or in the homes we choose to live in year-round.
Winter at One&Only is as much about restoration as it is adventure. The One&Only Spa at Moonlight Basin offers a retreat-like setting focused on wellness, recovery, and relaxation — an ideal complement to long ski days or simply a quiet afternoon off the mountain.
Dining throughout the resort balances refinement and comfort, creating spaces that feel just as suited for an après-ski cocktail as they are for lingering dinners with friends and family.
One of the region’s greatest strengths is its proximity and variety. A stay at One&Only Moonlight Basin pairs effortlessly with time in downtown Bozeman, located approximately 45 minutes away. From award-winning dining and local shops to live music, galleries, and winter events, Bozeman adds a vibrant, year-round energy that complements Big Sky’s alpine calm.
For visitors and residents alike, this balance between mountain retreat and town life is what makes the area so compelling.
World-class hospitality has a lasting impact on the places it calls home. The opening of One&Only Moonlight Basin reinforces Big Sky’s position as a premier destination for luxury mountain living, while continuing to elevate interest in Big Sky and Bozeman real estate.
For those considering a deeper connection to the area — whether through travel, a second home, or full-time living — these thoughtful additions contribute to long-term value, stability, and lifestyle appeal across the region.
Winter in Big Sky has always been about more than the slopes. It’s about presence, place, and the moments that stay with you long after the snow melts. With Bozeman just down the road and One&Only Moonlight Basin setting a new standard for winter hospitality, this season offers a beautiful reminder of why Southwest Montana continues to capture attention year after year.
