Rick, good hearing from you. Been a while. I've done Monarch. Great place. I like Leadville just a little better. Monarch is a close second. Can't quite ski to your car there. Runs are a lot shorter too. There is more space to tuck at Monarch and not get too much speed.
About the altitude, when I moved there, it took me a month to adjust. Just do some light jogging 3 to 4 times a week to prepare. Most of the games are between 5000 and 7000 feet. Just games North and West of town can get into higher elevations. Woodland Park at 8500 ft left me pretty winded. If you play pickup ball, be prepared for frequent substitutions. I played some pickup ball where we used hockey substitution rules.
