Scenic beauty
Located in the breathtaking, vast and ruggedly mountainous landscape of Jasper
National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Marmot Basin is a ski destination
that inspires lasting memories. The national park boasts deep valleys that are
home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, waterfalls and lakes frozen in
time, carpets of thick, green forests blanketing the earth and the serene beauty
of the snowcapped peaks carries on as far as the eye can see. One of these peaks
is host to the 1,675 acres of superb slopes that make up Marmot Basin. Only
20 minutes from the town of Jasper, Marmot Basin offers 3,000 vertical feet
of superb skiing and snowboarding.
Tremendous variety of ski terrain for all abilities
With 84 marked trails, the terrain is nicely varied; from long, gentle, winding
novice runs to steep, high alpine bowls and chutes and glade skiing through
verdant pine forests. The ski and snowboard runs are split evenly between easy,
intermediate and advanced, making this an ideal destination for the whole family
and all abilities.
Uncrowded, unhurried and laid-back
An uncrowded atmosphere is just one of the many reasons skiers and snowboarders
return to Marmot Basin season after season. With no waiting in lift lines, skiers
have lots of room to breath and more time on the slopes. The resort is easy
to get around and allows the freedom to explore the mountain and discover, at
your own pace, which runs to call your own.
