Went to marmot basin on a school trip. Went on a ski instructor course with CSIA and raced for my school as well. Loved the runs, resort and town. Cant wait for the possibility of going back in the future.

Love Marmot! Great place to bring the family. Have never seen it too busy. Beautiful scenery and cool vibe. Try to make it there at least twice a season.

Marmot basin is a family friendly ski resort with lots of variety for all skiing types. Its usually not too busy so you can enjoy your time on the runs with them not being too crowded. The snow is usually amazing and the staff is very friendly.

Great resort both for skiers and snowboarders. Very beginner and family friendly with easy blue and green runs. Even for the intermediate and advanced skiers and snowboarders theres plenty to do like: double blacks, off piste, not groomed, tree runs or mogles. Food is good, but can be pretty expensive. Amazing ski school and great teachers!

I went skiing with my school and it was unreal. The instructors were so kind that we all were laughing all the time. The slopes were so quiet that we pretty much had them all to ourselves! They were groomed pretty often which enhance the memories of skiing we had. The tree runs were prefect including little jumps in which we all loved. Thank you for such an amazing time
