Marmot Basin: Jasper's Mountain Playground

Nestled in the heart of Jasper National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Marmot Basin offers authentic Rocky Mountain skiing with a laid-back vibe. As one of the highest base elevations of any Canadian ski resort, Marmot Basin serves up dry powder snow and breathtaking alpine views. With reliable snow conditions and a season that runs from early November through early May, you'll have plenty of time to explore over 1,720 acres of skiable terrain.

Beyond skiing, Jasper is an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Spot wildlife like elk, bighorn sheep, and even wolves roaming through the park. Soak in the natural hot springs at Miette, explore frozen waterfalls, or take a scenic gondola ride. After a day on the mountain, enjoy Jasper's charming downtown with its local breweries, cozy restaurants, and welcoming mountain atmosphere. In Jasper, you're not just visiting a ski resort—you're experiencing the authentic Canadian Rockies.
