Monarch Powder Cats...Ride the Southern Rockies
Great powder, spectacular views, 770 acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls - that's Monarch Mountain's snowcat terrain. Considered some of the best snowcat skiing in the state, guests enjoy skiing/riding in closely spaced trees, variable snow conditions and extremely steep slopes.
A normal tour will average 10 to 12 runs per day at an average of 900 vertical feet per run. This is steep, expert terrain with varying conditions to be expected.
Tune those phat skis or board, get a good nights rest, have a healthy breakfast, put a smile on your face, and be prepared for one of the best snow days you've ever had!! Monarch Mountain, REAL Colorado!!
Space is limited to 12 guests per day and the cat runs from January 1 through April 9 as conditions permit. It's always a possibility that earlier trips may become available. Keep an eye on the web site or send us an email to be included in our updates on conditions and availability.
"Monarch Powder Cat services 900 acres, all of which are just outside the Monarch ski area boundary. But Monarch Powder Cats proves the old adage that looks can be deceiving. The terrain is steep, the snow falls in copius amounts and the attitude is laid back, which is why FREESKIER tries to fill one of their cats with a bunch of pros every winter for an epic day"
--FREESKIER Magazine, November 2005
