Situated directly on the Continental Divide in Colorado, Monarch Mountain has been a beloved destination since its opening in 1939. Known for its independent, old-school vibe, Monarch prides itself on offering an authentic, all-natural skiing experience. The resort remarkably uses zero snowmaking equipment, relying entirely on the abundant 350 inches of natural snow it receives annually.
Monarch features 800 skiable acres with a 1,162-foot vertical drop, serviced by 7 lifts. The layout is incredibly family-friendly, naturally funnelling all trails back to a single, central base area, making it nearly impossible to get lost. However, it also caters strongly to experts; the legendary Mirkwood Basin provides steep, hike-to extreme terrain filled with deep powder, cliffs, and thick glades that challenge even the most seasoned riders.
