Monarch Mountain, Colorado, is preparing to launch their 85th ski season on Friday, November 22, 2024.
“Each year, our goal is to start the lifts as early as possible, and thanks to Mother Nature and the relentless efforts of our incredible mountain operations team, a November opening is happening!” said Christopher Haggerty, General Manager at Monarch Mountain.
The ski area plans to run the Pioneer, Garfield, Tumbelina and Caterpillar lifts. They are evaluating conditions and will release their grooming report at 6am on opening day.
New this season, Monarch Mountain has expanded its ski patrol clinic to enhance on-mountain safety, increased its grooming and maintenance capacity and improved several internal venues in anticipation of the future No Name development. Monarch will continue to work on the expansion efforts throughout the season and into the following summer with a planned opening date during the 25/26 ski season.
Guests can now start their day with a hearty breakfast at the Gunbarrel Cafeteria which will be open seven days a week. Season passholders receive a 20% discount at the cafeteria, making it even easier to fuel up for a great day on the mountain.
Opening day hours will be 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with the Rental Shop, Sidewinder Saloon, Java Stop, Ski and Ride School, and Elation Sports all set to welcome guests. The Kaleidoscope Tubing Park will remain closed at this time.
