Marmot Basin
Located in the breathtaking, vast and ruggedly mountainous landscape of Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies, Marmot Basin is a unique ski destination surrounded by the serene beauty of snowcapped peaks. One of these peaks is host to the 1,675 acres of slopes that make up Marmot Basin. Only 20 minutes from the town of Jasper, Marmot Basin offers over 925 vertical metres (3,000 vertical feet) of superb skiing and snowboarding.
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.
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 more time on the slopes.
