The Skiers' Guide to Marmot Basin

I go to the hill alot and so do a lot of edmontonions! It’s the closest we’ve got but it does the trick just fine! Always awesome to get out there after a big dump but sadly that wasn’t the case this time. I can’t imagine it’s too easy to keep away the patches of ice but marmot basin manages well with the weather and seems to always be ready for that weekend rush! If you’re a powder lover this may not be the hill for you although sometimes we get lucky! It’s a great hill for easy greens blues and even easy blacks for what it is. Great starter mountain!

Absolutely loved it as a first mountain experience, fell completely in love with the sport and I now go 1-2 times per week. So thankful and glad to live somewhat close to the mountains.

The hill is quite good and not very busy if your not doing a day trip from Edmonton make sure to get accommodations in jasper before your trip.

Went there for the first time in 2025 and tried snowboarding for the first time. It was a good hill to really get the fundamentals down while on the green runs. I’ve been 3 times since then and I can confidently say it’s been a great hill to learn on with some great views! Highly recommend making the trip and it’s never seems to get too busy so you shouldn’t be waiting at the lift often

The mountain is great, however there is limited selection for eating and no apres ski at all once the lifts close everything closes soon after and everyone goes home! Accommodation is 30 mins away in Jasper.
