There’s something magical about waking up in the mountains, sipping your coffee as fresh snow falls, and knowing that incredible skiing is just minutes away. At Ski Town Condos, you’re less than three miles from one of Colorado’s most beloved ski areas—Monarch Mountain.
Forget the long lift lines, pricey passes, and crowded trails of the mega-resorts. Monarch offers a more authentic, laid-back ski experience—and it just might become your new favorite mountain.
Why Ski Monarch Mountain?
Located on the Continental Divide at 10,790 feet, Monarch is known for its deep snow, natural terrain, and friendly atmosphere. It averages over 350 inches of snowfall per year, which means fresh powder days are the norm, not the exception.
The vibe here is pure Colorado—casual, welcoming, and uncrowded. Monarch doesn’t rely on artificial snowmaking because Mother Nature delivers the goods all season long.
Terrain for Every Skier and Rider
Whether you’re a first-time skier or a seasoned shredder, Monarch has something for everyone:
Beginner-friendly greens to build confidence
Blue cruisers for intermediate fun
Steep black diamonds and tree runs for thrill-seekers
And for the adventurous: Monarch Cat Skiing offers access to over 1,635 acres of backcountry-style terrain (with a guide, of course!)
The mountain has 1146 + skiable acres, 80 trails, and a mix of runs that keep skiers and snowboarders coming back year after year.
Easy Access from Ski Town Condos
One of the best parts of staying at Ski Town Condos? You can be on the slopes within minutes.
Just a quick drive up Highway 50 and you’re pulling into the parking lot—no shuttle lines, no chaos. It’s skiing the way it should be: easy, fun, and stress-free.
When your legs are toast and your cheeks are sun-kissed from the mountain air, your cozy condo is waiting with warm blankets, a hot meal, and maybe a board game or two.
