Monarch Mountain in Chaffee County, Colorado is continuing the spirit of giving with their latest announcement. On December 9, any skiers or snowboarders who give non-perishable food or make a cash donation receive a free lift ticket for the day. Monarch’s goal is to celebrate their community by giving back. All food donations will go to the Salida’s Grainery and 1st Presbyterian Church food banks. Cash donations will benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Chaffee County.

Last year Monarch collected nearly 8,000 pounds of food and more than $2,000 in cash for the Boys and Girls Club. While it’s Monarch’s 80th anniversary, the mountain hopes to continue this tradition and celebrate its local community every year.
