Ranking dead last on the list of 19 spots was Monarch Mountain, scoring low in many categories of data, including metrics related to lifts and another related to on-site facilities. While it's true that this ski area is more humble than major destinations that tend to get more tourists, fans of the spot will be quick to note that while there might not be many super high-tech lifts, there also aren't many lift lines – and that the facilities aren't as much of a factor when it comes to Colorado locals hitting the hill during a day-trip, with this demographic more likely to be concerned about run quality and ease of access. Monarch Mountain has plenty of great runs, with affordable snowcat skiing and a memorable glade section.
