About Marmot Basin Ski Resort
Marmot Basin is the ski area in Jasper National Park, about 20 km south of the town of Jasper. It opened in 1964 and has 91 runs on 1,720 acres across five mountain faces, with a summit at 2,612 meters and a base at 1,698 meters, the highest base elevation of any major ski area in Canada.
Seven lifts serve the hill, including the Canadian Rockies Express, a 2.3 km high-speed quad. The resort averages over 440 cm of snow a year, and the season runs from mid-November to early May.
The rental shop in the Caribou Chalet rents standard and high-performance ski and snowboard packages for adults and kids, and the snow school runs private lessons and a kids camp. Rentals are reserved by phone at least 48 hours ahead.
