Marmot Basin
Imagine a place where snow comes from heaven, not from Earth. A place where you spend more time on your favorite run than in lift lines. A place where the wildlife is not limited to party animals but includes deer, elk and other creatures.
Welcome to Jasper's Marmot Basin in beautiful, rugged Jasper National Park. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for the adventure! Skiing in the Canadian Rockies doesn't get much better!
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.
Those who have already discovered Marmot Basin come back for the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the superb variety of terrain, the all around affordability, first class service, and the spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery.
