Monarch Mountain on Tuesday announced plans to extend the ski season after a new dump of powder landed on the resort this weekend.

The resort plans to keep its lifts running until April 11 after measuring a 62-inch base Tuesday afternoon, officials said.

Skiers and boarders were urged to pre-order online if buying day passes, because of limited availability related to COVID-19 operating restrictions. Monarch season pass holders can ski or ride any day without a reservation.
