Yes, have heard many good thngs about Monarch on my mnay trips to CO in recent years. The adjoining cat op is supposedly pretty good, if a bit limited in a acreage. General consensus is that it gets better and more snow than most places in CO outside of Wolf Creek. Be sure to look into the Gem Card. It is very inexpensive and may be worth it because of ability to also use it at Loveland, Ski Cooper, A-Basin, Sunlight etc. At $20, the two for one deals are worth it http://www.coloradoski.com/gems/ LEIGH - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - SkiVt-L is brought to you by the University of Vermont.
