Marmot Basin

Located within Jasper National Park, Marmot Basin is just five minutes from the charming town of Jasper. This unique Canadian destination is celebrated for its unhurried atmosphere, with lift lines rarely exceeding five minutes, and a serene environment where elk often wander the streets.

As part of a designated Dark Sky Preserve, stargazing on clear winter nights offers an extraordinary experience. The resort stands apart by not being included on any multi-resort pass, which contributes to its consistently crowd-free slopes.

The scenic Icefields Parkway connects Jasper with Banff, offering one of the world's great road trips through stunning mountain scenery.

Marmot Basin offers varied terrain across its high-elevation slopes, which are known for consistently cold, dry snow. Its runs provide mountain views that rival even the famous Banff resorts.

Intermediates can enjoy well-groomed runs on Eagle Ridge and Caribou Ridge, both of which offer panoramic vistas.

First-timers will appreciate the dedicated Schoolhouse learning area, which features gentle terrain. The unhurried pace of Marmot Basin makes it an excellent and relaxed place to learn to ski or snowboard.

Advanced skiers and snowboarders will find challenging terrain across several areas. Explore steep, ungroomed expert runs on Chalet Slope and Tres Hombres, or tackle the expansive Charlie's Bowl.

Consider hiring an instructor to navigate the best of the expert terrain.
