mehh. could be possible, but there really isn't anywhere to put any jumps bigger than 35 feet in the moonlight park, much less a whole jump line (unless they put them on a different run)

I have also heard rumors that big sky might bring back the triple line on ambush, but this is just a rumor and who knows what will happen

both rely on mostly natural snow. moonlight had some awesome jumps last year. 2 in the upper section of the park and 2 bigger ones at the bottom section. we had good snowfall last year, so hope for that again.

at big sky the main park under swifty does not have snowmaking either. they have some dirt rollers built so they don't need as much snow, but i liked moonlights jumps better. big skys were steep take offs and took a lot of tries to get the speed right to hit all 3, and sometimes it seemed you couldn't hit all 3 depending on the snow. but thats an opinion i guess

havent heard about moving the park back to ambush, they have some snowmaking there though.

hope they are both better this year though. moonlight has a natural park built off iron horse, cant wait to check that out!

Last year, Big Sky management is quoted as saying that they made a "permanent move" away from "really big features, and the halfpipe" due to a Boyne Wide liability policy change.

It will not be back any time soon...
