With the official operating season ending, we now turn exclusively to uphill access for finding turns on the mountain. EVERYONE wishing to skin uphill at Monarch MUST have an uphill pass AND sign a waiver. This includes ALL Season Pass holders. This is a separate product from a season pass.  If you don’t have a valid 2023-24 Uphill Pass, you must stop by the…

We wouldn’t be here without all of you coming up to ski and ride at Monarch.  Thanks for a great season!

Come and get it while you can!  We still have great coverage and plenty of lifts spinning for the weekend.  Enjoy these final days and ski you soon!

While the USFS continues their review process, we continue to prepare and plan.  The Ski Patrol team has been working tirelessly the last few weeks using GPS to flag the proposed trails in No Name Basin.  If/when we obtain final approval from the USFS, the units have been marked for the USFS timber crew to put the timber sale together…

Today may be one of our final storm days.  We received 3″ of snow overnight and it’s still coming down.  It looks like we could see another bit of snow later in the week ahead of our closing day on Sunday.  Enjoy!

The solar eclipse was the event of the day.  While we did not see totality in Colorado, it was still a really fun experience to feel the mid-day cool down, experience a subdued light cast over the ski area, and break out the solar glasses to catch a glimpse of the lunar event.  There was a gathering at the top…

We returned to a little warmer temps and some blue skies this afternoon despite the wind sticking around for another day.  Our Lift Maintenance team was able to run an additional lift today although Breezeway never made the list due to continued gusts on the ridgeline.  There should be some pretty good skiing on that side of the mountain tomorrow…
