Ski Resort Guides

Jasper, Canada

The small town of Jasper with its clapboard and stone lodgings, restaurants and shops is complemented by the 4,200 square miles of Jasper National Park wilderness, and the recreational mountains of Marmot Basin lying within. One unique feature of the resort is that when you arrive at Marmot Basin you simply park and ski straight off to the nearest chairlift and at the end of the day you can ski directly back to your vehicle too. But it's the sheer beauty of this back-to-nature ski area that will impress you most, especially in winter, which is off-season. Summer may draw the crowds to see the natural beauty and wide open spaces, but the scenery is most spectacular in the winter - elk move through the lowlands and waterfalls are suspended, frozen in time.

The skiing in Jasper in the Canadian Rockies is based at the Marmot Ski Basin Area, which claims some of the best powder in the area. Jasper National Park, a 3 hour drive from Banff, is the largest in the Rockies, and home to wildlife such as moose, caribou, wolves and coyotes, set amongst the frozen lakes and glaciers, which contribute to the fantastic skiing conditions. Skiers come to Jasper to relax and get away from it all, enjoy the skiing for all abilities and admire the stunning scenery.
