Marmot Basin Reviews & Ratings

Everyone here is just so friendly. From the second you walk in you feel welcome. The staff at the booth, the nursery, the kitchen, even management comes around to check on you. It's the kind of place where you can tell they actually care.

The lift lines are basically nonexistent for how big this mountain is. Even on a busy powder day you're waiting maybe 15 minutes, which is honestly unheard of.

The terrain has something for everyone. Super chill green runs if you're just starting out and some hard double blacks if you want a real challenge. Nobody in your group gets left with nothing to do.

This is my kids' favourite place to ski and honestly it's easy to see why. Highly recommend it for families

I love Marmot Basin. The park g lots are easy to access and are awesome for lunches. Always fun people around. They throw awesome parties on the hill with good DJs. Snow was amazing this year. Family friendly. Fun friendly. Has everything from beginner to advanced riding.

Super quiet resort if you want to get away from the crazy busy resorts you won’t find any lines and the slopes are deserted. Modern high speed lifts mean no lift lines and lots of laps. While there wasn’t new snow when I was there I can only imagine how amazing it would be with powder that would last for days given the lack of skiers and the big acreage. The tres hombres has the steepest lift access terrain we could find and provided steep open terrain and tight trees to the right. Lots of woe open bowls off several lifts including inbounds hike to terrain. Lots of terrain for all abilities with intermediates being able to ski lots of terrain off every lift.

Lots of snow, very friendly employees, ski conditions great, good variétés of slopes, Nice Lay out, easy not to get lost, parking close to the hill. We skied for 4 days on a row, we were a family of 3 with different ski skills and each and everyone was happy. The food and drinks were good and at a reasonable Price. We all are looking to Go back soon.

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.

Weather was amazing, groomed runs were perfect, off-piste was choppy and chewed up but manageable. Parking lot was awesome for tailgate lunch and BBQ.

Know you way back to the parking lot before dark. Easy to get lost. Lots of powder and trees. Great snow quality always.

An absolute hidden gem! Never had to wait in lift lines! Felt like we had the mountain to ourselves. Doesn't look big on a map but there was so much to explore! So many tree runs! The kids were also able to go all over the mountain with nice green and blue runs off every lift. The kids camp at the ski school were great and it let us go explore the great black and double black terrain!

Jasper's a cool little town, lots of great places to eat. Will definitely go back to ski and explore the area more!

I’ve been skiing at Marmot Basin since I was 4 years old and it’s an amazing experience in the Canadian Rockies. Lift line ups are very minimal and it has great snow every season!!

Great day trip for families if you're in central/northern Alberta. Relatively cheap, lift lines move quickly even when busy, and a varied amount of terrain for all skill levels. Snow quality is typically good, but it can be really cold so later up.

I’ll be honest, I’ve been coming here for a number of years. I love this place. It’s small, friendly with an unprecedented amount of terrain. The variety of runs is exceptional - trees for beginners and experts, powder runs with pockets of the fresh stuff, drops, pops and cloud like mushrooms to pop off. Beautiful long groomers and mogul fields that will test even the best skiers. Beginner friendly slopes to double black terrain and everything in between.

The staff are friendly and kind and always welcoming.

The food this year is exceptional for chalet food (and non chalet food to be fair) my only criticism would be the space in the chalet can get tight when it’s busy so either do an early or late lunch on high volume days.

The standard of teaching is great and ski patrol do an exceptional job of opening up the terrain when ever they can.

The town is quiet and still coming back from the devastating fires it experienced last summer it most things are open for visitors it was mainly the locals that suffered. It’s a beautiful place and although the drive up the hill is not as pretty as before there is still something beautiful in the new landscape.

Great mountain, lots of powder, great runs for both beginners and experienced riders. tree runs are great.

Mountain is great, after a large snowfall the powder is unreal. Jasper needs tourists now more than ever go visit please and thanks

It’s always a great hill for all the family and All different skill levels . Go every year and will continue to do so.

I found marmot basin a great ski respoet it's close to me easy travels the ride to the resort is a little sketchy but not bad, lots of parking easy to go from car to hill without having to unbind, mid mountain chalet is great, lots of run and lifts for what you want to ride like eagle chair for more pow and less busy while the knob brings u to the more difficult areas

I boarded here as a kid and I love this mountian. The park is decent but the powder is unreal here.
