Whoop fn whoop. Love you monarch

Well......put that on my bucket list.

Great place! Love the restaurant and bar too.

Happy Belated 80th Birthday..Monarch!! Do both sides of Continental Divide!! God Bless+

Best snow, people, runs, lifts, and views. Awesome ski area.

One of my two favorite ski areas in Colorado, Monarch and Wolf Creek. Both with lots of natural snow - the only kind to ski on.

Monarch is where I learned to ski in the mid 1980's. Such a spectacular mountain. I haven't been back in 30 years. Next year I'm going to make it a point to get back out there.

Lived there in 1980-81. Loved it.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to visiting.

Love monarch.

Happy Anniversary Monarch! I lived here most of my life and learned to ski here as most folks I know! God Bless the Bevingtons! Good Folks!

Right!! I know that man told my friends in Arizona bout him lmao

One of my fondest memories skiing Colorado is the Monarch snow cat tour. I believe it was in ‘96. The pow pow was bottomless!

Haha interesting I just moved back to my hometown Tucson from living in Gunnison for the last year because as a skater I fell in love snowboarding up in created butte and here in monarch good times great people! Plan on moving back with my best friend aka my wonderful girlfriend to raise our soon to be baby. Man this last year I loved out there has been the best year of my 22 years in life only if my girl was there could it have been better but she are monthly visits from Colorado to Arizona was enough to make her fall in love with the scenery too.

my favorite place to ski

Love it!! Lived there 2007 and miss it!!

Beautiful History.... Bravo!

Yes Duane Vandenbuesh was my history professor at Western State College, and I was a ski instructor at Monarch 1979-80.

What is Steamboat like now. My sister went to school there.

Took my son skiing for the first time there, two weeks ago! We love to support Monarch, BV, and Salida. Nice mountain get away from Pueblo.

Great program

Alway wanted to visit Monarch. Learned at Pioneer, on Cement Creek. .

I lived and skied in Vail for 20 years, Snowmass for 6 years. I was in the ski industry for 17 of those. Great skiing - but I'm glad I left! I've been in Paonia since 2002 and don't ski much now. When I do - it is Monarch! I go for three or four days, bring my own food, and stay in Maysville. Affordable with a short drive to the area. I DO NOT go there Friday through Sunday - too busy with kids all over the place.

Monarch is my favorite in Colorado. Love Loveland too. I've skied a dozen Colorado resorts, living in Golden, Fairplay and the Roaring Fork Valley. The big resorts have something to offer, sure, but the mid-sized resorts are best. A-Basin and Eldora are close and fun for metro Denver too... and no I-70 rolling parking lot for Eldora either. Eldora is better when the wind scours higher mountains, or weather making I-70 so very sloooooow. Monarch doesn't have a long time on bad mountain roads either, but Monarch Pass can be a scary road in heavy snow with all the semi-truck traffic on a two lane road. But the lifts spin at Monarch when it's snowy and windy! Lots of trees for protection. Long May You Run.

I lived in Eldora and skied at Lake Eldora for two years. That was the windiest place I'd ever been in my life. One night the wind meter at the top - topped out at over 150 MPH.

​​​@@rahkinrah1963 I lived in Boulder and used to love the 30 min trip up to Eldora. The Chanuk winds got us in Boulder. It would cap the chimney off and all the smoke would come out in the house so we had to pour water on the fire and open the windows. We learned to watch the weather after that. I water skied Lake Vallecito one June. When I jumped in the water I couldn't exhale, only inhale but by the time I skied around the lake for a while and fell back into the water, the water felt warm. Growing up we used to ski Purgatory. It was a mom & pop place.

Sounds like the Tenney Mountain of the West…or maybe Tenney is the Monarch of the East…

bro is in a different colorado

Gun safety is also encouraged

so i say to you...what about the frozen dead bodies of the homeless...?any of all that $$$ go to helping feed and warm THEM???personaly found 2 myself IN SALIDA while the police just drive by to give a ticket to someone for more $$$$ so so sad...

Before you came here, people were self-sustaining individuals. They were rugged and free. Our grandparents and great-great grandparents came here in wagons. They worked, which kept them WARM and FED! The only security they had was what they could create. What did you do for these "helpless" homeless parasites? The cops are LAW Enforcement, not the dept of public welfare. Another California helpless busybody who wants to run everyone's life. That's why we despise Californians. Mind your own business, take care of yourself and quit telling everyone else what to do. These people aren't homeless, it's how they have chosen to live. There are plenty of jobs out there if someone wants to work.
