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.

I skied marmot for two weeks and absolutely loved it. The variety of terrain, lifts and groomed runs was perfect for every rider. The ski school was amazing from their programming offers and staff was extremely friendly during interactions. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to see if Jasper!

Great resort, lower cost and full mountain! Can park right at the hill and ski down to get a lift ticket. Jasper is a great town to stay and play.

The experience was overall pretty good but I think that it would have been better if more runs were open. Can not blame the mountain on that though, as it is early in the season. That being said if most runs are open, I think it is a fantastic resort!

Marmott is a small but mighty mountain. Even when its busy you have space to ride. The new Knob chair is amazing!!!! Jasper itself is such an amazing town, lots to do other than ski, great restaurants, lots of spots for a late night outing!

The day we went there was some sweet powder with great views. The summit was a bit of a laugh. We enjoyed some food in the hall which was satisfactory. The apres was fun and the vibe was relaxed. Good value

Great resort for kids. The green runs have plenty of trails in the trees kids love to slip in and out of. The knob has some good runs and decent snow for more advanced skiers.

Marmot Basin is a ski resort in a cute little mountain town in the Canadian Rockies. They have a variety of routes for all ski levels and great lodges both at the bottom and middle of the mountain if you need a rest. The town site of jasper suffered major destruction last year due to wild fires, but they are rebuilding and ready for your skiing and tourism dollars to support their economy. Come to jasper, support the local economy and ski an awesome mountain.

Marmot is the quietest and most family friendly resort Ive ever been to. They dont get the best snow but the quality of the snow is awesome and it is located so high up and so far north they dont get thaw and freeze cycles. The run length is perfect for me as I get older. My favourite ski hill.

Marmot Basin is a great family ski destination.
Big resorts without big resorts crowds. Newer lifts add lots of opportunities at all levels. Price point/value is good.

Want a quiet Rocky Mountain location with awesome ski days, amazing scenery and amazing ski school! The value for the money at marmot is unparalleled! The runs are wide open their lifts at the top of the mountain are amazing, giving you access to runs you can bounce around on and off piste all day! The ski school taught our daughter to ski independently and they were great! Highly recommend a trip to Marmot!

Marmot Basin has some great powder and is perfect for those who are intermediate. Highly recommend stopping at the upper chalet for some delicious hot chocolate! Also love how you can ski right to the parking lot! The town of Jasper is roughly 15 mins away. Although some of it burnt down last summer, there are still plenty of places to stay at and lots of good restaurants still standing!

The only problem is its missing a good terrain park, it has lots of variation in runs and it can suit any level of skiing, the mid mountain lodge is such a calm place to get food and take a break during a long day. Great terrain, ample off-piste and tree runs for more experienced skiers and snowboarders.

Marmot Basin is a great resort to visit for a day to enjoy the immense amount of snow they get, while being tucked away a bit and avoiding the normal resort rush of people seeking somewhere to land their skis.

This mountain most definitely held a smaller family vibe, and could be easily explored in a day.

The mountain offers a variety of trails, and the powder can be unreal at times. The terrain isnt too crazy, but its a really quaint family mountain, perfect for an escape from the crowds.

A great family ski area, not busy. Runs well cared for. Clean food areas and washrooms. I have ski for 45 plus years, ski many resorts. But also injured Marmot for its friendliness.

I was at Marmot last year and had the time of my life both at the resort and up on the mountain! The quality of the runs is something to be proud of and I would definitely go back for the slopes, the food, and the overall good times.
