Monarch Country

What is Monarch Country? There is something about Monarch Country that’s special. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly what’s different about Chaffee County and the surrounding areas. Maybe it’s the almighty Arkansas river, maybe it’s the towering 14,000 ft peaks, or maybe it’s just the people who live here and spend time here. But it is unlike any spot I’ve ever been to. Our team has been playing around with idea of “Monarch Country” and what it means to us. To us, it’s more than just our home town of Salida, CO. It’s also Buena Vista, a close neighbor and strong supporter of ours. It’s Gunnison, who sticks with us even when they don’t have to. It’s even Canon City, Pueblo and Colorado Springs, all of which welcome us with open arms. The reality is, if you identify with the term “Monarch Country,” then you’re probably in it. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to be your local mountain. Thank you for supporting us and skiing with us. I’d love to hear what “Monarch Country” means to you.
