What a secret little gem. A gem is an association of Boutique Ski Areas in Colorado... and Monarch takes the prize... Boutique it is not. Located at the top of the rockies this area gets over 350 inches a year and this year over 400. All of it 100% Natural. None of the artificially made cement. At Monarch the focus... more

Rentals for equipment are under $20, and lift tickets... more

It is farther away from Denver and Colorado Springs, and so it's not as crowded as some of the other ski areas. You can view the snow report at http://www.skimonarch.com/SnowReport.asp The URL for the area is http://www.skimonarch.com more
