Ski in Style at One&Only Sky Lodge

Ahead of the grand opening, One&Only has already introduced Sky Lodge, a sophisticated ski lodge that debuted on December 20, 2024. 

 

This lodge serves as an elegant precursor to the full resort, giving visitors a taste of the world-class amenities and impeccable service that One&Only is known for.

 

Whether it’s skiing in fresh powder, hiking through untouched trails, or simply relaxing amid nature, Moonlight Basin offers an escape like no other.

 

For those eager to experience the resort’s offerings before its official opening, One&Only Sky Lodge provides an elevated ski-in/ski-out experience. 

 

The lodge features The Landing, a chic restaurant and bar that highlights seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, accessible via both car and the exclusive One&Only Gondola.

 

Beyond its dining offerings, Sky Lodge is designed to cater to skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. 

 

The lodge further enhances the skiing experience with complimentary valet services, day lockers, and a newly installed state-of-the-art ski lift. 

 

The Madison 8, an advanced eight-seat D-line chairlift, significantly reduces ride times while increasing uphill capacity, making access to 5,800 skiable acres effortless.

Culinary Excellence: Akira Back’s Debut in Moonlight Basin

The culinary scene at One&Only Moonlight Basin is set to be one of the resort’s standout features, bringing globally celebrated cuisine to the Montana wilderness. 

 

Acclaimed chef Akira Back, a former professional snowboarder turned Michelin-starred restaurateur, will introduce his signature modern Japanese dining experience to the resort in Winter 2025.

 

His Moonlight Basin venture marks his first alpine restaurant, an exciting milestone that blends his love for the mountains with his exceptional culinary artistry.

 

Beyond Akira Back’s restaurant, One&Only Moonlight Basin will feature six dining venues and bars, each carefully curated to provide a diverse, world-class dining experience.
