Monarch Mountain Expansion Approved

With the digital stroke of a pen, the Forest Service green-lighted a 377 acre enlargement of Colorado’s Monarch Mountain yesterday. The mission will embrace 62 acres of cleared trails, gladed terrain, a set grip triple chairlift, restrooms and a warming hut in No Title Basin. “We’re SO excited to really get began on this mission after years of planning and mission evaluate by a number of entities,” stated Scott Pressly, Vice President of Mountain Operations. The basin’s 2,700 foot chairlift will rise 960 vertical toes and develop into Monarch’s first new raise in 25 years.

The no-frills ski space plans to start work quickly. “This mission will contain two summers of building (2024 & 2025) with the No Title Basin terrain scheduled to open for the 2025-26 winter season,” wrote Pressly. Monarch has not publicly recognized the producer of the brand new raise, although Skytrac constructed its very first raise drive terminal on the ski space, naming it the Monarch.
