I made this call when I was skiing Moonlight this past March:

We spent some apres ski time in Moonlight Lodge with Eric Morrison, Moonlight's marketing director. The combined ticket we're using is marketed as "The Biggest Skiing in America" due to combined acreage exceeding Vail's. The reality is that few people actually buy the combined ticket for $103 and with Big Sky being the larger area including the Lone Peak tram, Moonlight gets shortchanged in skier visits. As it is now 2 lifts and a substantial amount of terrain are common to both areas. The topography is far more intertwined than Alta/Snowbird for example. Eric agreed with me that eventually various financial issues will get sorted out and the incentive will be compelling for someone to step in and merge the areas.

Common sense sometimes prevails.
