Monarch

...ay madness that gridlocks Interstate 70 from Denver to the Front Range resorts each weekend. Located on Highway 50 on the Continental Divide, Monarch is very accessible. It's also one of the oldest ski areas in Colorado, established in 1939.
Monarch Mountain is what you expect from a real Colorado ski area. Abundant natural snow (350+ inches) and friendly people are two of our strongest attributes. You can walk from your car right to the lifts, prices are reasonable, and the runs flow naturally back to the base area. At Monarch you'll lose the crowds but not your friends.
Monarch is a family favorite because of great snow conditions and easy access to the mountain. Having one base area makes it convenient to drop off the little ones in the Children's Center, pick-up rental equipment, sign up for ski school and get on the slopes in a timely manner. Lift lines are a rarity and you will regularly find ski runs to yourself.
Looking for great powder, spectacular views, 1000+ acres of expert terrain, steeps, trees, cliffs, and bowls? You found it with Monarch Mountain. Check ou... |

...ailers.
Around the park plan to be treated to a quiet atmosphere, but lots to do, including facilities for many camping-type outdoor games. We may plan a pancake breakfast or a game of bingo or play beanbag baseball or Goofy Golf. Our rec room is always busy with socializing and such things as crafts and internet access in the clubhouse, and when the sun sets, you will be drawn to our central campfire pit for live music and good old fashioned camaraderie.
In the area surrounding Snowy Peaks RV Park and Rentals you can find world-class white water rafting and kayaking at South Main River Park, the longest whitewater park of its kind in the country. Stroll through historic Buena Vista for shopping and great restaurants and take advantage of the area's excellent lake and stream fishing, extensive hiking trails, wildlife viewing and hot springs pools. You can also get to Aspen, Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Central City casinos and many other great places. There is so much to see and do we hope you will return and, if so, we offer on-site RV storage and return-to-storage se... |
