Marmot Basin Reviews & Ratings

Marmot has by far the best long green runs that can slip into blues along the route at the rider choice! This allows you to take the route you want and test your limits by changing it up along the way or allowing friends to take close routes and meet up at cross sections to be able to ride with the homies but also have your own experience. For those seeking more thrills the parkbopens up at the bottem with some smaller parks to hit along the way so you don't have to wait too long to hit that rail that you've been dreaming of. Even more thrill? Ride up to the top of the mountain on either side and face the Peaks double blacks or black runs to really test your skills and hey no worries if your less experienced friend wants to tag along there's always a blue run nearby to take ya back to the greens for smooth sailing - Marmot does a great job at allowing riders of all levels to ride with and near friends at all points of the mountains so that the whole gang can experience similar experiences. Whether your new or a pro this hill will allow you long runs for practice all the way from the top of the hill down or to start off if your very new they have some mid mountain chairlifts to take you up just enough that you get a good ammount of practice in without having to worry about conquering the whole mountain on day one. Deffinetly a must go to for riders of all levels!

This is the longest mountain ski resort to me so I have gotten the pleasure of going quite often. They have plenty of runs for all skill levels, beautiful scenery. One of my favouritei runs i did the rebut requires some hiking is you can hike up to the top of the mountain. It took myself and a buddy about 4 hours to hike up and walk across the Ridgeline to a bowl that hasn't been touched by anyone and it had just snowed the night before.

The lift pass buying is easy with the online and reloadable cards. Price is fair. Have a wide variety of terrain for all. Great levels of runs that step up slowly for those learning more advanced skills

Marmot basin really is the best resort in the world in my opinion. I have spent a lot of time skiing around this place and have seen it grow and develop ever since my first trip in 2011.

Located in Jasper, this is a small town in the middle of nowhere in the incredible rockies mountains. It is more quiet than Banff and Lake Louise which makes your experience on the slopes even better!

Who doesnt love a fresh new powder day run all to yourself? At Marmot, you definitely get that.

I did my skiing instructing level 1 here also, so I can honestly say their facilities for teaching is incredible. Along with great staff and the mountain terrain itself, this makes learning at Marmot the best.

They have two onsite chalets, one at the base of the mountain and the other mid mountain. The latter is smaller and the oldest building on site which also has some incredible views. Stopping off for a hot drink or alcoholic beverage and food here will never disappoint.

Over the past 10 years, Marmot Basin have expanded their ski trails and made exploring even better. The mountain offers numerous options for trails of all different capabilities which ensures no one is left out when visiting.

Jasper town itself offers many different hotels and restaurants to visit during your stay for all different budgets. Whether you are a solo traveller or with friends a family, this place as mentioned earlier is so uncrowded and laid-back, unlike many other ski resorts, especially in Europe.

If youve never been, you have to visit! Its just an incredible place.

Marmot basin is a great mountain just outside of jasper Alberta. Its packed with stunning views and vast terrain. Its perfect for families offering daycare, lessons and affordable rentals. There is small lift lines on busiest of days. There is 2 chalets one at the base and one at mid mountain. The one at mid mountain has a fire often accompanied with music! Some shortcomings of the mountain is the relatively smaller size 1700 acres compared to nearby resorts such as Banff sunshine 3300 acres and Lake Louise at 4200 acres. It also does not offer on resort lodging but there is great accommodation in jasper which is 20 mins away. In conclusion it is a great mountain where you can have a great time with family and friends.

I went with my mates back a few years ago and we had a great time, the staff were all incredibly friendly and helpful, the rentals were very well priced and in great condition and Ive decided that Im in the market now to get my own skis for my holidays

I visited Marmot basin after living near there resort for 6 months and found it to be a lovely, quiet, family friendly and cozy resort. The staff are amazing and the resort itself always attracts regular customers, many with young children. The lift lines are basically non existent but in peak season they are well managed by very welcoming and smiley employees. Although there arent any lively apres bars the mid chalet has good quality food and refreshing drinks all season. The groomed runs are amazing with fresh cords every morning. The off piste terrain and tree runs are tranquil and always full of the classic champagne powder. I would recommend everyone to visit this resort, especially in early Christmas time when the inversions over the valley are one in a million.

With breathtaking views and thrilling runs suitable for all skill levels, this is the perfect spot for both adventure and relaxation. Whether you're seeking an easy ride or a challenging course, it's an ideal destination for families looking to create lasting memories together.

Have been here several time and always had a great time! Lots of terrain options to choose from. Definitely a place to visit again.

Ive been to this resort a handfull of times both with family members who were new to skiing and on my own. I believe it to be a great place for new skiers to learn as there is a decently large dedicated run and lift for skiers/boarders trying to learn aswell as a ton of nice groomed runs for all skill levels and the instructors are incredibly kind, patient, attentive and all around great. I also found the double black diamonds and off pist runs to be incredibly fun with some being great for your first time on a double black whilst simultaniously having very challenging lines right close by with easy lift access. The off-pist runs were quite enjoyable aswell with a gnarly powder bowl that you can absolutely SEND and there is minimal traffic there which allows for many opportunities for fresh powder, nice turns or insane lines at incredible speeds. Plus walking the spine of the mountain and pretty much any other spot that you need to hike to offers unforgetable views that will have you wanting to go back time and time again. Only bad thing i would have to say is the chalet food was incredibly expensive for very low quality so pack some snacks and sammies for mid mountain snack breaks or you can ski directly to the parkinglot which was super convienient. <3

The off piest trails are phenomenal here, I would highly recommend this mountain to anyone who loves hitting deep off trail powder I was very surprised and not expecting it to be like that but definitely worth the money especially if you have a escape card cost $90 and first visit fourth and seventh visit are free and the rest of the times gone are 30% off for multiple mountains

My first time going here I had so much fun. The workers here were really friendly, the runs were in really good condition, the terrain park was great and everyone else skiing there were quick to give tips or help you. I would very much recommend everyone goes here.

Always loved marmot its a shame it doesnt get as much rep as other resorts. It recently just added a new quad chair that goes to the top which allows for access to new high alpine terrain

Really good quiet resort, definitely needs a decent amount of snow to really shine in its best terrain. Not the location for your park rat, but has some good technical options and fun tree sections.

Plenty of groomers good for all levels. Get up to the top of knob chair for the best powder at the hill and a gnarly cliff drop right under the chair lift. This mountain thrives in early season powder and definitely worth a visit. Open untill mid may for some slushy spring skiing in your best tank top

The lower mountain is great for beginner and intermediate skiers, and the East bowls, Knob chair, and west side give great terrain for advanced and expert skiers. You can find some great tree skiing across the entire mountain. Provides great runs that can start as an expert run, become tree skiing, and end as a relaxing groomer. Never too busy or very long lines.

Marmot is a great experience for my whole
Family and I. The new Knob Chair has been a great addition. Never too busy so you can get a lot of runs in

Theres a nice variety of runs. Chalet is pretty standard. The lifts are efficient and parking is good. Family friendly.

Excellent resort that's generally less busy than others in the Canadian Rockies. Good mix of terrain for all levels and most styles of skiing/riding.

A great family-friendly ski resort! The hill is designed with a lodge half way up the mountain that most of the runs funnel to - making it a great place to find your lost or slower ski companions!
