Replying to Monarch Mountain?

Long story short, I have three free passes to monarch, and some people I know have the same and invited me to ride out with them next week to make use of these tickets. About myself, grown up here in Upper Michigan, biggest vertical I've skied is the 900' of Mount Bohemia. I'm a pretty decent skier, love pow, cliffs and trees but don't get much of that around here. I'm taking my Bacons on this trip. Basically, I want to know what to expect there, I've read its not the greatest mountain but it'll blow MI out of the water I'm sure. Also if any locals would be down to show us around that would be sweet!
