Monarch Mountain will be opening for 2022-2023 season Thursday, December 1st.
As one of the few remaining ski areas in Colorado that does not make snow, Monarch relies completely on natural precipitation to open. The most recent storm cycle has provided enough coverage to open four of its seven lifts.
“We could not be more excited to welcome everyone back up to Monarch, it’s going to be a great season!” said GM and COO, Randy Stroud.
Lift operating hours will be from 9 am to 4 pm. Lifts running will include Caterpillar, Tumbelina, Panorama and Pioneer. Open runs have yet to be determined.
The Rental Shop, Elation Sports, Ski and Ride School, Sidewinder Saloon, Java Stop, and Flyby Burritos will be open. The Children’s Center and Kaleidoscope Tubing Park will open at a later date. Uphill access will reopen after first chair on December 1st. Uphill users must have an Uphill Pass and follow all designated routes and policies.
Reservations to ski or ride are not required, though Monarch does recommend pre-purchasing online by 11pm the night before your arrival.
