Monarch's learn to ski program is going to rock. The guys in the background are working on the new 450-foot covered conveyor lift that will transport first-timers up the Snowflake bunny slope. Monarch has a beginner package that includes rental equipment, ski school and lift ticket for $99.<br /> "This year we're trying to promote the fact that, at Monarch, you can learn to ski stress free," Ralph said.<br /> And, Ralph promises to buy a beer for everyone who brings a beginning skier to Monarch!<br /> For advanced skiers, Monarch has a new snowcat ready to explore the area's 1,200 acres of backcountry powder.<br /> This video was shot before the last big snow. Can't wait for opening day!
