Monarch Mountain - Real Colorado Skiing - Colorado snowcat tours

Considered some of the best snowcat skiing in Colorado, guests enjoy skiing/riding in closely spaced trees, variable snow conditions and extremely steep slopes.

A normal snowcat tour will average 10 to 12 runs per day at an average of 900 vertical feet per run. This is steep, expert terrain with varying conditions to be expected.

Tune those phat skis or board, get a good nights rest, have a healthy breakfast, put a smile on your face, and be prepared for one of the best snow days you’ve ever had!! Monarch Mountain, REAL Colorado!!

Space is limited to 12 guests per day and the snowcat runs from the end of December through early April as conditions permit. It’s always a possibility that earlier trips may become available. Keep an eye on the web site or send us an email to be included in our updates on conditions and availability.

"Monarch Powder Cat snowcat services 900 acres, all of which are just outside the Monarch ski area boundary. But Monarch Powder Cats proves the old adage that looks can be deceiving. The terrain is steep, the snow falls in copious amounts and the attitude is laid back, which is why FREESKIER tries to fill one of their snowcats with a bunch of pros every winter for an epic day"
--FREESKIER Magazine, November 2005
