• Marmot is the best kept secret for down hill skiing value, close to Edmonton!
• Madmot is not always blessed with the abundance of snow other resorts receive.

It's great that theyve recently upgraded the knob chair and they now have a very modern lift fleet. The powder lasts for days because there's no crowds and there are never any lift lines.

• Beautiful alpine views.Lots of varied terain. Uncrowded, especially on weekdays. Cold, dry snow. Family friendly, good for learning.
• No onsite accomodations. It is fairly remote.

When the snow is good this is my favourite ski hill.

• If the conditions are good you can ski from your car and it's often very quiet. Some fun green, blue and black runs.
• Food is overpriced and not great.

Such a great hill for my kids and I to learn on, great staff on the mountain. Food and beverage quality and value have declined since Dana Hospitality took over, and their policies against brown-baggers has the opposite effect to what they expect. We used to finish our day with fries, hot chocolates and beers. Now we’re not welcome in the chalet and wouldn’t dream of paying big bucks for watered-down lukewarm hot chocolate. Saves us money but it would be nice to go back to the good old days!

• Great hill, great mountain staff
• Food and beverage quality, prices and service

Over the years the resort has seen a downward trend to overall service. staff becoming less friendly and poorly trained. Cleanliness a concern and the grooming of the runs has diminished significantly . Management needs a wake up call.

Our first experience with Marmot Basin was outstanding. Super friendly staff, facilities operating efficiently, appropriate protocols for Covid19. Access to ski runs from parking lots is terrific - best of any resort in Alberta. Extensive terrain and variety of runs for intermediate (plus) skiers. Well worth our six hour drive - we’ll be adding this to our preferred ski locations.

• Run variety, friendly staff, parking access
• Would be helpful to show run numbers on signage

This place is horrible. Terrible snow. Boring runs. You don't want to go here. Especially right after a huge snow fall. Stay away so I can have the whole hill and fresh snow all to myself

• Great tree runs
• Lots of kids.

Station avec de nombreuses pistes faciles, idéale pour les débutants à moyens. Les skieurs confirmés vont vite tourner en rond. Les cumuls et la qualité de neige sont quelconques, conditions proches de ce qu'on voit dans les Alpes françaises. Pas de logements au pied de piste, il faut aller dans la ville de Jasper à quelques km qui du coup offre une vie après-ski agréable.

• pistes faciles, après-ski
• neige quelconque, domaine petit

this is my Local hill, therefore I'm biased. but this is a unique, chill mountain, and Jasper is to Banff, like Edmonton is to Calgary, just superior... ; )

• small town, local friendly feel. Great time to be had on this hill, everytime!
• small, not a lot of variety... who cares, your not working
