Marmot Basin
The only ski area in Jasper National Park, with dry snow, short lines, and about a 30-minute drive from town.
Marmot Basin ski area is located about 19 km southwest of Jasper town. The ski area covers about 1,675 acres, with more than 90 runs and a highest point of about 2,612 meters, suitable for everyone from beginners to advanced skiers. Compared with the ski areas at Banff, Marmot Basin has fewer people and shorter lines. The ski season runs from mid-November to early May. An adult day pass costs around C$150, and shuttle buses run from town. The mountain is very cold in winter, so keep warm and watch for frostbite.
