What Skiers Say About Marmot Basin
Marmot Basin attracts skiers and snowboarders of all levels, from beginners to experts, with families being particularly well-represented. Users consistently mention minimal lift queues, friendly staff, and the convenience of parking close to the slopes. Snow quality is frequently praised when conditions are good, though several reviewers note that the resort can be lean on snowfall compared to other Rockies resorts and that icy patches or bare spots appear in lighter seasons. The resort is described as quiet and uncrowded, with terrain suited to natural riding including tree runs and powder bowls. Reviewers repeatedly highlight Marmot as good value compared to larger resorts, though food and beverage prices are considered expensive. The mid-mountain chalet is mentioned regularly as a pleasant spot with fire pits and music, though it can get crowded at peak times.

Great family hill, lots of variety. The new knob chair is also a great addition.
I have been skiing Marmot since 1975. I love Marmot and the town of Jasper, Alberta. I think this i s a Canadian gem. There were forest fires recently, but there are still many hotels. The town needs visitors because the federal government is so weak in its response to help rebuild the town (much like its lack of preventive action before the fires).
Good Chairlifts and very pleasant Lifties
Snow conditions a bit poor this year so far but runs are varies and good
Nice pub at mid station but usually quite crowded...cpould do with a makeover and expansion
