Monarch Mountain Ski Area remains open despite its inclusion on Colorado Department of Public Health and Environmentâs list of outbreak sites across the state.
 The inclusion on the list was made Jan. 14. Since that time several employees of the winter sports area have tested positive for the virus although Monarchâs general manager, Randy Stroud, issued a press release Thursday calling the inclusion âsomewhat misleading.â
While the 14 employees of the ski area have tested positive for COVID-19 in the last week, the press release stated, âmost, if not all of these cases have not come from the Monarch Mountain campus.âÂ
