00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:07.599
Hi everybody, it's Richard Beattie, and this is the Create Daily for April 3rd, 2026.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:20.079
A few years back, I wrote an ebook called The New Syndication, which was written for new media professionals who were just out of college and learning how to market media content and distribution.
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:37.359
I had just uh left a large media company where I uh syndicated and negotiated with broadcasters on the East Coast, Canada, and Europe reads, listen, and views.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:52.719
A journalist colleague hired me to train his staff on the changes in syndication, and so I wrote a 100-page e-book called The New Syndication, and with it came a new tool to measure audience.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:59.840
RLV was the yardstick to measure ratings, income, and advertising.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.280
The secret to success is to create daily.
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:17.120
I have learned through the 14 points of quality assurance from the Deming Institute that discipline and daily creative habits are the paths to creative success.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:35.599
And no matter where I go to read, listen, and view, there are reminders of quality from telling the story, playing to the unique offerings of collaboration and cultivation of ideas that develop products or services that lead to endeavors.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:46.079
Each day I work at serving in my community and helping people to understand what and where their soul work will take them.
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:57.120
As a coach, Create Daily's main issue and objective is to ignite the creative spirit in myself and in others like you.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:22.639
When we take that to the creative community through recreational, educational, arts, and media travel and transportation with entrepreneurship and apply success each day, we can support each other economically and environmentally and connect community to product services and endeavor experiences.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.759
We do not have to brand.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:32.080
What happens is organic and flows in our everyday activities.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.960
In June, I will release an e-planner for entrepreneurs that will have my framework for the create daily planner.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.560
And now this.
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.599
It's what you don't see that can change your life.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.639
Every day you open your eyes and the mental checklist of all that you have for the day blocks your vision.
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.080
You get past the bedroom, the bathroom, the breakfast, and the drive-thru.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.080
You arrive at your desk and there are voicemails and emails and snail mails, and you process through until lunchtime.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.000
That's what you see every morning.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.360
Then, when we rewind the AM and go back, you find the morning that you didn't see.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.800
You ran past your husband who was trying to find meaning in his work.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:18.479
You snarfed down the burnt toast and left the coffee maker on and oh, and you cut off your neighbor who was bringing his wife home with their new baby.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.840
You were in your own zone as you raced through the school zone.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.599
That's what you don't see.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:24.879
That can change your life.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.680
Well, here's something that can change your life.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.400
Anna Digital Systems is coming to your town.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:45.039
With fire season being extended in Colorado, Sound Century is quickly rolling out new products and services to digitize documents, photos, audio, video, and art.
00:03:45.840 --> 00:04:15.520
Through contributions to mutual shares from the Colorado Chapter Committee of the Led in Family Foundation and the Studio Alliance, we are offering realtors, homeowners, businesses, and entrepreneurs our Anna Digital Studio Services that takes all analog originals and makes digital copies saved to the cloud, external hard drives and memory sticks.
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:25.360
This is the same system that we have saved hundreds of hours of media for schools, libraries, museums, and art centers.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:38.560
A portion of the contributions will go back into the Mutual Share account to fund other community projects geared to foster entrepreneurship through Colorado and throughout Colorado.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:06.319
These events will be held in several regions and be part of the Colorado chapter of Leadden Family Foundation.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:14.959
Email Richard Beatty at 809 at gmail.com to the create event.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.000
Okay, so I go to the doctor and he asks me, How long have you had this problem?
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:20.959
All my life.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.160
He looked alarmed.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.839
You've been seeing spots?
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.879
No, doctor.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.079
All my life.
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.839
I've been hearing spots.
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:33.120
One minute spots, 30-second spots, really well-written spots.
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.399
I hear spots that get results.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.360
They are very good spots.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.199
And then he looked into my ears and he asked me, Do you know the legend of the spotted rabbit?
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:51.120
The spotted rabbit has never been seen except for a well-defined spot on his back.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.920
And yet only people who are tuned into a frequency.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.240
I admitted to the doctor that I do hear the spotted rabbit.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.759
Will it ever go away?
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.439
No, replied the doctor.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.639
Unless you lose your imagination.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.000
Spotted Rabbit.
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.680
Creative, productive spots that get results.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.680
Email paid to thinkradio at gmail.com.
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.079
Needless to say.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:50.319
And you may think Aspen, Breckenridge, or Vale when you think of Colorado slopes, but up the road on 285, people can get legends, 60s, and 70s oldies while going up to Monarch.
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.519
What do you think of that, Chris?
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.160
We're going into our 85th.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.439
85th.
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.480
Yeah, this is where we're celebrating our 85th season.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.839
So happy birthday.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.360
You look pretty good for 85.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.040
Yeah, you know, we try.
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.399
It's what that mountain air does to you up here at Monarch, right?
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.600
Get outdoors, enjoy the snow, and yeah, you don't look a day over 25.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:20.399
Well, Monarch is a great area, and people who live south know Monarch pretty well.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.560
But and and I think people know of it uh in Denver, but they're always looking at Winter Park or they're looking at the I-70 corridor.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.560
But there are really benefits to skiing at Monarch.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.639
There's not a lot of hassle going there.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.319
It's it's a pretty easy trip.
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.720
And it's a beautiful scenic drive when you go there.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.040
Tell us a little bit about the history.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.720
One of the things that's amazing about Monarch is we are all natural snow here.
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.800
So from the start until now, it's it's all natural snow.
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.720
So no snow making.
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:03.920
Um, we really pride ourselves on that quality of that, you know, that champagne powder that's so sought after in Colorado.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.800
It really gives us a unique experience that separates us from the other resorts.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:10.560
We're really, we're really proud of that.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.600
We don't make snow, however, we do farm snow.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:32.799
So, you know, basically early season, we kind of are, you know, gathering snow from anywhere on on the you know, the mountain and the resort that we can to kind of build up our snowpack in the base area, make connection points to areas where maybe the wind has has stripped some of the snow out of there.
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.200
And we use snow fences all over the place to really catch the snow.
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.919
So if the wind is is coming from the west, we have snow fences in certain areas to catch it.
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.799
If it's coming on an upslope storm from the east, we move those fences around so that we could capture the snow there as well.
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.519
So uh it's really unique, and our our mountain hops team does an amazing job with it.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.559
And it allows us to get open, you know, uh as early as we can based on what Mother Nature delivers to us.
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.799
Oh my gosh.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.159
Wow.
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:06.799
What?
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.919
What wait?
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:09.360
Snow farming?
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.559
When I grow up, I want to be a snow farmer.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:26.320
Snow farming, also known as snow conservation, is a sustainable practice that involves collecting and storing snow from the end of winter to use at the beginning of the next ski season.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.120
How do they collect it?
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:37.759
At the end of the ski season, snow groomers gather large piles of snow and compact it into a trapeze shape.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.720
Two, insulation.
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:51.039
The snow piles are covered with a thick layer of insulating material such as sawdust, wood chips, or mold to protect the snow from melting.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.200
Well, how do they store it?
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.320
The snow is stored in a snow depot.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.159
Well, then how do they spread it?
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:10.159
When the next ski season approaches, the insulation is removed and the snow is spread into the slopes with snow groomers.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:19.120
Snow farming allows ski resorts to start the winter season earlier and to ensure snow for events regardless of the weather.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.799
Oh my gosh.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.000
Wow.
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.720
And this year you're opening when so no set date yet to open.
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.279
So that gives us some challenges with snow farming and some areas where we need snow.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.519
But we have some very, very deep areas right now.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.799
We're set up, you know, to open in the in the near future.
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:49.679
We just need a little bit more connection on some of our main artery trails, if you will, to kind of get from the top of the lift to those areas where the snow is.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:50.960
So we're very close.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:11:03.600
And you know, for us, it's our our stance is always going to be we're gonna open as soon as we possibly can and can do so safely, and also delivering a really good experience for our guests, right?
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.399
We're we're in business to have lifts spinning and getting people sliding on snow.
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.120
So um, we do everything we can to make that happen.
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.039
Hey everyone, it's Richard Beatty.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.840
You're listening to legends953.com.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:23.679
Enjoy the ride with Chris Hagerty of Monarch Ski Area, getting ready for a great ski season up at Monarch.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.200
I want to also talk a little bit about one of the other benefits.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:45.039
Uh it's also the pricing, some of the some of the fun um type of passes that you do have, whether it's through age groups or or it's uh just the fact that you can do a two-day pass or a four-day pass.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.919
Like, how do all those things uh work out for you?
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
And uh, you know, if somebody's gonna get something for a Christmas present.
00:11:51.519 --> 00:12:03.120
Yeah, our you know, our our core belief and part of what we feel is our responsibility, the ski industry, is to remain a resort that is family friendly and affordable for many.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.919
Um, and and again, we pride ourselves in that.
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.840
And you know, that's that's not in competition with anyone else.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.159
That's just that's who we are, and that's that's what we want to be and what we we stand for.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:20.399
So if you visit our website, skimonarch.com, you'll see all sorts of products that we have out there.
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.000
So we have season passes that are specific to our resort.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:41.039
We have season passes that are midweek, then we have other offerings where we partner with some other independently owned ski resorts, and you get benefits where you can buy a season pass with us and and go to some of these other mountains that, you know, and you can get a couple of days for free there or discounted rates.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.039
So and that that's all detailed out on uh on our website.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.159
We also do uh special discounts for our military community, right?
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.799
We just have Veterans Day just passed, and um, you know, we're big supporters of that.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.840
So we lock in a really great price for military and veterans, and you could you can buy that right through the website.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:08.480
We also have what you mentioned earlier, the the four-day pass, you know, for yourself, for your family, um, a gift.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.480
You come one time and you're gonna be hooked and you're gonna want to stay here for the whole season.
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:18.879
Uh, but if you're not quite sure, that's a kind of a nice product as an entry level, you know, that's a really attractive price point.
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.000
And then another activity that we have snow tubing.
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:28.559
Um, so it's, you know, you might not have to be a skier or snowboarder to enjoy the mountain, and you'll book reservations online.
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:43.039
So again, just check out our website, skimonarch.com, and there's there's all sorts of great stuff, you know, whether you're somebody that has never been on the snow before or you're the person that's out there getting 100 days a year traveling around.
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.600
We even have you know private cat skiing that we offer here in backcountry.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:59.120
So it's got a really big mountain um experience uh with a small mountain feel for the vibe and the culture and kind of how you um interact with the team that works here.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.240
Well, I know how I'm gonna be spending some of my weekends.
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.519

We'll check back with them periodically on Enjoy the Ride.
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.159
I'm Richard Arnold Beattie.
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.039
And now, folks, we're coming to Lafferty's.
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.080
Well you'll hear a new sound and music called Jazz.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.840
First introduced here on Basin Street by such greats as Bunk Johnson and uh King Oliver.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:16:50.000
Well, there's a new king now! Zachmo himself! Louis Libstrom, I went down to St.

James sing for my baby be there.
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.720
She was stretched out on a long white table.
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:13.680
So cold, so sweet, so fair.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.279
Such a good good.
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.039
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.359
God bless her.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.839
Wherever she may be.
00:17:28.400 --> 00:17:30.720
You know where you told her to go.
00:17:31.920 --> 00:17:46.480
You can look this wide window by But she'll never find a sweet man like me when I die.
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:50.960
Bury me in straight lace shoes.
00:17:51.200 --> 00:17:56.240
Are you glad I am box my coat and a studson hat?
00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:04.960
Spin a twenty dollar gold feast on my watching.
00:18:06.559 --> 00:18:08.559
So the bombs will do.
00:19:58.559 --> 00:20:25.279
When I found you the moon stood still on blueberry hill, and it was until my dream come true.
00:20:28.319 --> 00:21:01.359
So when the willows play love, sweet melody, and all of those vows we made were never to be though we were both you found on me still.
00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.759
Oh you are my drills.
00:21:19.200 --> 00:21:22.319
Come climb the hill with me, baby.
00:21:25.599 --> 00:21:28.319
We'll see what we will see.
00:21:31.359 --> 00:21:34.240

00:00:01.040 --> 00:00:07.599
Hi everybody, it's Richard Beattie, and this is the Create Daily for April 3rd, 2026.
00:00:08.640 --> 00:00:20.079
A few years back, I wrote an ebook called The New Syndication, which was written for new media professionals who were just out of college and learning how to market media content and distribution.
00:00:20.480 --> 00:00:37.359
I had just uh left a large media company where I uh syndicated and negotiated with broadcasters on the East Coast, Canada, and Europe reads, listen, and views.
00:00:38.719 --> 00:00:52.719
A journalist colleague hired me to train his staff on the changes in syndication, and so I wrote a 100-page e-book called The New Syndication, and with it came a new tool to measure audience.
00:00:53.439 --> 00:00:59.840
RLV was the yardstick to measure ratings, income, and advertising.
00:01:01.119 --> 00:01:05.280
The secret to success is to create daily.
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:17.120
I have learned through the 14 points of quality assurance from the Deming Institute that discipline and daily creative habits are the paths to creative success.
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:35.599
And no matter where I go to read, listen, and view, there are reminders of quality from telling the story, playing to the unique offerings of collaboration and cultivation of ideas that develop products or services that lead to endeavors.
00:01:36.239 --> 00:01:46.079
Each day I work at serving in my community and helping people to understand what and where their soul work will take them.
00:01:46.319 --> 00:01:57.120
As a coach, Create Daily's main issue and objective is to ignite the creative spirit in myself and in others like you.
00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:22.639
When we take that to the creative community through recreational, educational, arts, and media travel and transportation with entrepreneurship and apply success each day, we can support each other economically and environmentally and connect community to product services and endeavor experiences.
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.759
We do not have to brand.
00:02:26.159 --> 00:02:32.080
What happens is organic and flows in our everyday activities.
00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:40.960
In June, I will release an e-planner for entrepreneurs that will have my framework for the create daily planner.
00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:42.560
And now this.
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:45.599
It's what you don't see that can change your life.
00:02:45.840 --> 00:02:50.639
Every day you open your eyes and the mental checklist of all that you have for the day blocks your vision.
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:54.080
You get past the bedroom, the bathroom, the breakfast, and the drive-thru.
00:02:54.400 --> 00:03:00.080
You arrive at your desk and there are voicemails and emails and snail mails, and you process through until lunchtime.
00:03:00.240 --> 00:03:02.000
That's what you see every morning.
00:03:02.240 --> 00:03:07.360
Then, when we rewind the AM and go back, you find the morning that you didn't see.
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:10.800
You ran past your husband who was trying to find meaning in his work.
00:03:10.960 --> 00:03:18.479
You snarfed down the burnt toast and left the coffee maker on and oh, and you cut off your neighbor who was bringing his wife home with their new baby.
00:03:18.639 --> 00:03:21.840
You were in your own zone as you raced through the school zone.
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:23.599
That's what you don't see.
00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:24.879
That can change your life.
00:03:25.439 --> 00:03:27.680
Well, here's something that can change your life.
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:32.400
Anna Digital Systems is coming to your town.
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:45.039
With fire season being extended in Colorado, Sound Century is quickly rolling out new products and services to digitize documents, photos, audio, video, and art.
00:03:45.840 --> 00:04:15.520
Through contributions to mutual shares from the Colorado Chapter Committee of the Led in Family Foundation and the Studio Alliance, we are offering realtors, homeowners, businesses, and entrepreneurs our Anna Digital Studio Services that takes all analog originals and makes digital copies saved to the cloud, external hard drives and memory sticks.
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:25.360
This is the same system that we have saved hundreds of hours of media for schools, libraries, museums, and art centers.
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:38.560
A portion of the contributions will go back into the Mutual Share account to fund other community projects geared to foster entrepreneurship through Colorado and throughout Colorado.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:05:06.319
These events will be held in several regions and be part of the Colorado chapter of Leadden Family Foundation.
00:05:06.800 --> 00:05:14.959
Email Richard Beatty at 809 at gmail.com to the create event.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:20.000
Okay, so I go to the doctor and he asks me, How long have you had this problem?
00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:20.959
All my life.
00:05:21.199 --> 00:05:22.160
He looked alarmed.
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:23.839
You've been seeing spots?
00:05:24.079 --> 00:05:24.879
No, doctor.
00:05:25.199 --> 00:05:26.079
All my life.
00:05:26.240 --> 00:05:27.839
I've been hearing spots.
00:05:28.079 --> 00:05:33.120
One minute spots, 30-second spots, really well-written spots.
00:05:33.279 --> 00:05:36.399
I hear spots that get results.
00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:39.360
They are very good spots.
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.199
And then he looked into my ears and he asked me, Do you know the legend of the spotted rabbit?
00:05:45.439 --> 00:05:51.120
The spotted rabbit has never been seen except for a well-defined spot on his back.
00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:55.920
And yet only people who are tuned into a frequency.
00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:00.240
I admitted to the doctor that I do hear the spotted rabbit.
00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:01.759
Will it ever go away?
00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:03.439
No, replied the doctor.
00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:06.639
Unless you lose your imagination.
00:06:06.959 --> 00:06:08.000
Spotted Rabbit.
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:11.680
Creative, productive spots that get results.
00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.680
Email paid to thinkradio at gmail.com.
00:06:35.040 --> 00:06:36.079
Needless to say.
00:06:36.319 --> 00:06:50.319
And you may think Aspen, Breckenridge, or Vale when you think of Colorado slopes, but up the road on 285, people can get legends, 60s, and 70s oldies while going up to Monarch.
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:51.519
What do you think of that, Chris?
00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:54.160
We're going into our 85th.
00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:55.439
85th.
00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.480
Yeah, this is where we're celebrating our 85th season.
00:06:58.560 --> 00:06:59.839
So happy birthday.
00:06:59.920 --> 00:07:01.360
You look pretty good for 85.
00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:03.040
Yeah, you know, we try.
00:07:03.120 --> 00:07:06.399
It's what that mountain air does to you up here at Monarch, right?
00:07:06.480 --> 00:07:11.600
Get outdoors, enjoy the snow, and yeah, you don't look a day over 25.
00:07:12.800 --> 00:07:20.399
Well, Monarch is a great area, and people who live south know Monarch pretty well.
00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:28.560
But and and I think people know of it uh in Denver, but they're always looking at Winter Park or they're looking at the I-70 corridor.
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.560
But there are really benefits to skiing at Monarch.
00:07:32.639 --> 00:07:34.639
There's not a lot of hassle going there.
00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.319
It's it's a pretty easy trip.
00:07:36.480 --> 00:07:40.720
And it's a beautiful scenic drive when you go there.
00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:43.040
Tell us a little bit about the history.
00:07:43.279 --> 00:07:48.720
One of the things that's amazing about Monarch is we are all natural snow here.
00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.800
So from the start until now, it's it's all natural snow.
00:07:52.959 --> 00:07:54.720
So no snow making.
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:03.920
Um, we really pride ourselves on that quality of that, you know, that champagne powder that's so sought after in Colorado.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:08.800
It really gives us a unique experience that separates us from the other resorts.
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:10.560
We're really, we're really proud of that.
00:08:10.720 --> 00:08:13.600
We don't make snow, however, we do farm snow.
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:32.799
So, you know, basically early season, we kind of are, you know, gathering snow from anywhere on on the you know, the mountain and the resort that we can to kind of build up our snowpack in the base area, make connection points to areas where maybe the wind has has stripped some of the snow out of there.
00:08:32.879 --> 00:08:37.200
And we use snow fences all over the place to really catch the snow.
00:08:37.279 --> 00:08:41.919
So if the wind is is coming from the west, we have snow fences in certain areas to catch it.
00:08:42.000 --> 00:08:48.799
If it's coming on an upslope storm from the east, we move those fences around so that we could capture the snow there as well.
00:08:48.960 --> 00:08:53.519
So uh it's really unique, and our our mountain hops team does an amazing job with it.
00:08:53.600 --> 00:09:00.559
And it allows us to get open, you know, uh as early as we can based on what Mother Nature delivers to us.
00:09:03.360 --> 00:09:04.799
Oh my gosh.
00:09:05.600 --> 00:09:06.159
Wow.
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:06.799
What?
00:09:06.960 --> 00:09:07.919
What wait?
00:09:08.240 --> 00:09:09.360
Snow farming?
00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:12.559
When I grow up, I want to be a snow farmer.
00:09:12.879 --> 00:09:26.320
Snow farming, also known as snow conservation, is a sustainable practice that involves collecting and storing snow from the end of winter to use at the beginning of the next ski season.
00:09:27.840 --> 00:09:29.120
How do they collect it?
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:37.759
At the end of the ski season, snow groomers gather large piles of snow and compact it into a trapeze shape.
00:09:38.799 --> 00:09:40.720
Two, insulation.
00:09:41.039 --> 00:09:51.039
The snow piles are covered with a thick layer of insulating material such as sawdust, wood chips, or mold to protect the snow from melting.
00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:53.200
Well, how do they store it?
00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:56.320
The snow is stored in a snow depot.
00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:00.159
Well, then how do they spread it?
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:10.159
When the next ski season approaches, the insulation is removed and the snow is spread into the slopes with snow groomers.
00:10:11.039 --> 00:10:19.120
Snow farming allows ski resorts to start the winter season earlier and to ensure snow for events regardless of the weather.
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:20.799
Oh my gosh.
00:10:21.519 --> 00:10:22.000
Wow.
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:28.720
And this year you're opening when so no set date yet to open.
00:10:28.879 --> 00:10:33.279
So that gives us some challenges with snow farming and some areas where we need snow.
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:37.519
But we have some very, very deep areas right now.
00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.799
We're set up, you know, to open in the in the near future.
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:49.679
We just need a little bit more connection on some of our main artery trails, if you will, to kind of get from the top of the lift to those areas where the snow is.
00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:50.960
So we're very close.
00:10:51.120 --> 00:11:03.600
And you know, for us, it's our our stance is always going to be we're gonna open as soon as we possibly can and can do so safely, and also delivering a really good experience for our guests, right?
00:11:03.759 --> 00:11:08.399
We're we're in business to have lifts spinning and getting people sliding on snow.
00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:11.120
So um, we do everything we can to make that happen.
00:11:11.360 --> 00:11:13.039
Hey everyone, it's Richard Beatty.
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:15.840
You're listening to legends953.com.
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:23.679
Enjoy the ride with Chris Hagerty of Monarch Ski Area, getting ready for a great ski season up at Monarch.
00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:29.200
I want to also talk a little bit about one of the other benefits.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:45.039
Uh it's also the pricing, some of the some of the fun um type of passes that you do have, whether it's through age groups or or it's uh just the fact that you can do a two-day pass or a four-day pass.
00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:47.919
Like, how do all those things uh work out for you?
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
And uh, you know, if somebody's gonna get something for a Christmas present.
00:11:51.519 --> 00:12:03.120
Yeah, our you know, our our core belief and part of what we feel is our responsibility, the ski industry, is to remain a resort that is family friendly and affordable for many.
00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:05.919
Um, and and again, we pride ourselves in that.
00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.840
And you know, that's that's not in competition with anyone else.
00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:14.159
That's just that's who we are, and that's that's what we want to be and what we we stand for.
00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:20.399
So if you visit our website, skimonarch.com, you'll see all sorts of products that we have out there.
00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:24.000
So we have season passes that are specific to our resort.
00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:41.039
We have season passes that are midweek, then we have other offerings where we partner with some other independently owned ski resorts, and you get benefits where you can buy a season pass with us and and go to some of these other mountains that, you know, and you can get a couple of days for free there or discounted rates.
00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.039
So and that that's all detailed out on uh on our website.
00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:50.159
We also do uh special discounts for our military community, right?
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.799
We just have Veterans Day just passed, and um, you know, we're big supporters of that.
00:12:54.960 --> 00:13:01.840
So we lock in a really great price for military and veterans, and you could you can buy that right through the website.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:08.480
We also have what you mentioned earlier, the the four-day pass, you know, for yourself, for your family, um, a gift.
00:13:08.639 --> 00:13:12.480
You come one time and you're gonna be hooked and you're gonna want to stay here for the whole season.
00:13:12.559 --> 00:13:18.879
Uh, but if you're not quite sure, that's a kind of a nice product as an entry level, you know, that's a really attractive price point.
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.000
And then another activity that we have snow tubing.
00:13:22.159 --> 00:13:28.559
Um, so it's, you know, you might not have to be a skier or snowboarder to enjoy the mountain, and you'll book reservations online.
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:43.039
So again, just check out our website, skimonarch.com, and there's there's all sorts of great stuff, you know, whether you're somebody that has never been on the snow before or you're the person that's out there getting 100 days a year traveling around.
00:13:43.279 --> 00:13:47.600
We even have you know private cat skiing that we offer here in backcountry.
00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:59.120
So it's got a really big mountain um experience uh with a small mountain feel for the vibe and the culture and kind of how you um interact with the team that works here.
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.240
Well, I know how I'm gonna be spending some of my weekends.
00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.519
Uh Chris Haggerty, the new rookie GM at SkiMonarch.com.
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:09.519
Take a look at their website.
00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:12.080
Uh click on Plan Your Trip.
00:14:12.159 --> 00:14:14.320
It's their 85th year.
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:18.399
We'll check back with them periodically on Enjoy the Ride.
00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:20.159
I'm Richard Arnold Beattie.
00:14:20.399 --> 00:14:23.039
And now, folks, we're coming to Lafferty's.
00:14:23.120 --> 00:14:26.080
Well you'll hear a new sound and music called Jazz.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.840
First introduced here on Basin Street by such greats as Bunk Johnson and uh King Oliver.
00:14:32.000 --> 00:16:50.000
Well, there's a new king now! Zachmo himself! Louis Libstrom, I went down to St.
00:16:50.320 --> 00:16:59.600
James sing for my baby be there.
00:17:02.639 --> 00:17:06.720
She was stretched out on a long white table.
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:13.680
So cold, so sweet, so fair.
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:15.279
Such a good good.
00:17:16.640 --> 00:17:19.039
Let her go, let her go, let her go.
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:21.359
God bless her.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:27.839
Wherever she may be.
