"It has been a rough snow year for Colorado, but Monarch Mountain is still serving over 50 trails for skiers and riders to choose from. Snowpack levels across the state are abysmal, and most terrain is limited to on-piste only. I-70 resorts such as Breckenridge have reported just 41 inches of total snowfall this season. Monarch is reporting a similarly measly 46 inches season total with a 15 inches base."
"With that being said, Monarch easily provides the most enjoyable skiing experience in Colorado right now. With all-natural snow, no crowds, and expert snow management, Monarch is offering some of the most terrain in the state. Moguls, trees, and even cliffs under Garfield and Panorama are open to the public. There are certainly areas of concern on certain trails, but this weekend's storm should work wonders on the mountain."
"I didn't wait in a single line, though. Crowds were minimal, and everyone was happy to just be out there. Monarch is the type of place with good vibes only, even if there is some dirt showing. My family had a great time skiing groomers while I occasionally popped into the trees and steeps. KC cutoff and Sidewinder were some of the highlights yesterday for beginner groomed trails."
Monarch Mountain is operating over 50 trails despite a poor statewide snow year, reporting 46 inches of total snowfall and a 15-inch base. Snowpack across Colorado is low, with I-70 resorts like Breckenridge at 41 inches, and most terrain limited to on-piste. Monarch offers all-natural snow, minimal crowds, and expert snow management. Open terrain includes moguls, trees, and cliffs under Garfield and Panorama, although some trails show thin spots. A storm this weekend is expected to improve coverage. On-mountain dining at the Sidewinder Saloon features standout items like the "San Luis Mac N' Cheese", wings, and a fried eggplant sandwich.
