Tumbelina – Monarch Mountain, CO

Tumbelina is Monarch’s beginner chairlift. There used to be an unloading opportunity at the portal tower shown here. Now, never ever skiers simply ride the neighboring carpet.

    Why does Monarch never put safety bars on lifts

      they actually recently put a safety bar on the beginner lift. And the quad has a safety bar as well. Although both of those have no foot pegs on the safety bar. Monarch’s new lift on the backside will be a brand new skytrac triple chair. It definitely will have a safety bar and hopefully foot pegs as well.
