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!
We had a two-day wind closure on the Breezeway lift and a foot of fresh snow just waiting. I was lucky enough to get out early today and enjoy the goods right as we were getting our lifts rolling for the day. On top of that, it was a classic Colorado ski morning with fresh snow and crisp blue skies.…
It was that kind of day. I had a feeling that last night’s storm would over produce and we woke up to 6″ of fresh snow falling overnight. The storm’s momentum continued during the day with several more inches of snow coming down. The wind played its part for the second day in a row with a few more wind…
Our slope maintenance team has been working well over a hundred nights in a row grooming the mountain while all of us sleep tight in our beds. We all owe them a huge thank you for coming up night after night and storm after storm. If you see one of these guys as they are headed out of the parking…
It’s been darn cold lately for the end of March. The weather station today at the top of Mirkwood read -5°F at 9am when the lifts started spinning and warmed all the way up to 0°F by 4pm when they closed. Hope everyone was bundled up today! It looks to warm up over the next few days before we get…
This morning’s sunrise lit up the sky.
