Monarch Mountain, CO, Report: No Crowds for the Holidays

Report from December 26, 2025 It has been a rough snow year for Colorado, but Monarch Mountain is still serving over 50 trails for skiers and riders to choose from.  Snowpack levels across the state are abysmal, and most terrain is limited to on-piste only.

Descending During the NorCal Drought @ Kirkwood – 01/18/14

Wow what a year eh? Not much has changed since my last update but the bottom line is that there is definitely some fun to be had in the Sierra Nevada Range. On January 11th, it actually snowed. Yes, those 4 inches made things steep and…well…a bit better than expected. Arrival at Kirkwood blessed us with a glimpse of winter. With temperatures in the 30s, a cool breeze, snow on the trees and crisp blue skies, it was shaping up to be a great late November, er January day. Given the lack of gnar on the slopes, I have been taking this opportunity to get my kids on the slopes. Parker, age 2, is pretty enthusiastic about wearing the gear, riding […]
