$30 regular season, $36 peak season; 40% military discount, 50% off for season pass holders
Rough cost for a family of four: about $120.00 at the posted starting rate, before rentals, food, or parking. Many parks sell tubing by the hour or by a fixed session rather than a full-day pass — check the note above for exactly what that price buys.
Monarch Mountain’s tubing park is a five-lane hill near Salida served by a rope tow. Instead of a magic carpet, your tube has a pull strap that hooks onto a tow line and drags you back up, a setup that asks riders to manage their own tube on the way up. The record lists a minimum age of 6 and a minimum height of 36 inches.
Sessions are 90 minutes. Walk-ins are welcome based on availability, and online booking is available, so booking ahead removes the risk of a full slot. The record lists $30 during the regular season and $36 at peak, with a 40% military discount and 50% off for season pass holders. Confirm current rates on Monarch’s site.
Monarch also has skiing and snowboarding, so a mixed group can split up, and the park offers birthday party packages. Pack waterproof gloves since you’ll handle the tow strap.
This is a remote park. The nearest parks in our data are Snowmass Snow Tubing at The Meadows, about 58 miles away, and Copper Mountain Tubing Hill, about 68 miles away, so plan Monarch as its own day rather than a side trip. Read the beginner’s guide if your group hasn’t used a tow before.
Book online for peace of mind, though walk-ins are accepted based on availability. Regular-season days cost $30 versus $36 at peak.
One 90-minute session plus time to check in and learn the tow line.
