Why You Should Visit Marmot Basin this Spring

Blue skies, basking in the sun, excellent snow conditions... do you need more convincing? Just in case, here's 6 reasons you should plan you trip to Marmot Basin now!

Why You Should Visit Marmot Basin this Spring

Good to the Last

Did you know that Marmot Basin has one of the longest ski seasons of the Canadian Rockies? Because we have the highest base elevation of all major Canadian ski resorts, Marmot's impressive snow base lasts until May. With wide open runs and short lift lines, come experience spring conditions in Jasper.

So while the weather may be warming up in your hometown, the best slice of winter is still waiting for you on the hill. There's no excuse to miss out on spring riding at Marmot.

The Price is Right

There are more ways than one to save on lift tickets this spring!

It's not too late to keep the savings going with the Marmot Escape Card. Not only will you get 50% off single-day lift tickets for Adults, Youth, Student and Seniors (paying for itself in just two visits), you can also save on your kiddos tickets with 20% off junior full-day lift tickets. It doesn't end there, get up to 40% off Jasper accommodations, and 10% off food & non-alcoholic drinks at the Espresso Bar, Paradise and Caribou cafeterias. Trip covered!
