Sightseeing
We ski more than 30 days a year, and most of them are at Monarch. The people are friendly, the lines are short, and we get as much vertical in a day as when we ski the big resorts. The Sidewinder Grill serves great food and beer, perfect for a lunch break or for a family member who doesn't ski. We LOVE our local ski mountain!
