Once upon a mountain, hospitality took a breath of fresh air—and got elevated. Welcome to One&Only Moonlight Basin, a luxury resort opening its doors in November 2025. Nestled within the dramatic sweep of Montana’s Rocky Mountains, this is where adventure meets artistry, and hospitality meets heart.
Imagine working at the birth of a legendary getaway. As an intern, you won’t just be part of the team—you’ll help shape the story. Mountains for your backyard, high-end design that blends into the wild, and that crisp Montana sun setting every evening. It’s a backdrop that’s hard to top.
Here, you’ve got options that suit your vibe: jump into guest service in the Rooms Division, make magic on plates in Culinary Arts, or bring flair to dining through Food & Beverage. Every day you’ll build real skills within a world-class setup—and when you’re off shift, you’re still living the mountain life, from slopes to spa.
Let’s get into how you’ll train, how you’ll grow, and how this program sets you up for hospitality greatness.
