Is it mid-winter or spring? After several storms rolled through at the end of April, the peaks are looking beautiful under a blanket of snow. These spring storms have rolled in a bit warmer than our mid-winter storms and have brought with them a high moisture content with each event. This has helped to bolster our snowpack and subsequent runoff…

Ok. It was showers in town. Up here it was a foot of fresh. We always seem to get one or two big storms after we close. This was one of them. We picked up a few inches yesterday and then the fun started overnight. We ended up with 13″ at our snow study with another solid inch of water…

Just because we are closed for the winter season doesn’t mean there aren’t opportunities to still go skiing! In addition to the spring skiing available here at Monarch through our Uphill Policy, there are still some other options out there. For those who had the Regular Monarch Season Pass for the 2022/23 winter season there are ski-away options remaining. There…

The mountain sure is quiet this week. It always takes a while to transition from the operating season to the off-season. The mountain ops crews have been busy tearing down the mountain and the base area staff have been cleaning and tidying up the place. It looks like we may still have some more snow in our future up here…

We had a really nice storm roll through on Friday night. It was just enough to freshen up the place in time for our last few days of the 2022-23 winter season. We have one more day to cruise our favorite groomer, rip through our best tree stash, or hike to the top of Mirkwood. Hope to see you here…

It’s a mixed bag out there. Corn snow, wind buff, dust layers. Just about every aspect on the mountain holds soft and carvable turns. It has been warm this week with nighttime temps hovering above freezing. True spring skiing conditions. As it usually goes this time of year, we are not done yet with storms as it looks to start…

The environmental review for the No Name Basin proposal takes on several aspects. There are wetland reviews, cultural studies, wetlands mapping, wildlife, timber, and several others. The most recent study took place this spring as the wildlife biologists studies the area further for the presence of the Boreal Owl. This study involved placing a few recording devices out in the…

We’ve had a few beautiful spring days up here lately. The snow is still perfect on the northeast slopes while the south and west slopes are just starting to get that spring feel to them. It looks to be downright warm next week. It looks like we just may get a few days of slushy bumps in this season after…

We had a crew from the Mountain Ops departments out skiing & riding on the cat today. With a little fresh snow and some blue skies in the afternoon, everyone seemed to have a great time. We try to do this each spring as a way to say thank you for working so hard all season. Tomorrow, the Guest Services…

There is just two weeks left of the ski season here at Monarch. Greet each day and make the most of it!
