The Mountain
An unparalleled experience
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 86 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.
Friendly, Safe & Welcoming
Visitors to Marmot Basin find 4 distinct areas of the mountain
that are laid out in a very user friendly way, making the
mountain easy to get around. You can go from steep alpine
bowls to bumps to cruisy glade skiing all in a chairlift ride
or two.
After an exhilarating day on the slopes, the town of Jasper
offers everything a visitor might want. With a permanent population
of 4500 residents, Jasper has managed to preserve a small-town
feeling while offering amenities you’d expect from a world-class
winter resort. People greet you warmly, even though they’ve
never met you and it doesn't take visitors long to feel part
of the community…and find it hard to leave!
Great Value
Jasper National Park in the winter offers excellent value
to visitors. Unlike other resorts, Jasper’s off season is
winter time which results in great deals on accommodations,
dining and a huge variety of activities. This unspoiled, pristine
destination in the middle of the Rocky Mountain wilderness
offers a great skiing and snowboarding vacation that will
fit almost every budget.

Large, snow filled bowls are paradise for powder skiers and
snowboarders. For those who enjoy cruising, our state of the
art grooming fleet keeps the tree-lined trails groomed to
perfection.
