Monarch is expanding! Come check out the brand new runs!

In case you missed it – No Name Basin is opening on Thursday, January 29, 2026!

If you want to be one of the first to ride the Tomichi Lift READ CAREFULLY.

No Name Basin will open on 1/29/26 at 9:30am with a single access gate near the top terminal accessible via the Breezeway Lift. The Panorama terrain access via Great Divide will not open until 10am.

The first 10 chairs will be guaranteed to the first skiers and riders in the Breezeway Lift line that morning. So, if you want first chair, line up at Breezeway as early as you think you would need to be there.

As you make your way to the bottom, please be aware that conditions are variable, and we advise caution, especially near the road cuts.

We can’t wait to show you this new terrain!

Aaaaaaand…WE’RE OPEN!

The 25/26 season is officially on, and first-chair bragging rights go to Wyatt, Connor, Tiffany, and Tom who camped out in the early-morning dark (on a weekday?!) just to get out there.

Huge shoutout to our rockstar crews for grinding to make opening day happen. The lifts are spinning, the snow’s glistening, and we are SO back!
