Jasper, Marmot Basin


Resort Guide

Located in the heart of Canada’s largest Rocky Mountain National Park and snuggled peacefully amongst the towering Rockies.

Jasper has managed to preserve a small-town feeling while offering amenities you’d expect from a world-class winter resort.

 

 

 

 

Just 20 minutes from town is Marmot Basin, home to some of the best skiing and snowboarding in Canada. It offers acres of champagne powder, much of it groomed to perfection. Or choose from snowmobile tours, sleigh rides or dogsled tours. 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.

Scenic beauty
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, laid-back and welcoming
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.

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.
