JASPER, ALBERTA (CANADA) – Found in the rugged landscape of Alberta’s Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies, the Marmot Basin is heaven for visitors looking for great ski vacations. Overlooking mountain views, find the 1,675 acres, 86 runs and 3,000 vertical feet of varied terrain that make up Marmot Basin – the highest base elevation of all Canadian ski areas. Marmot Basin’s trails are split equally between easy, intermediate and advanced, making this an ideal destination for skiers and boarders of all abilities. There are four distinct areas of the mountain that are laid out in a very user-friendly manner, so going from steep alpine bowls to bumps to cruising through glades is just a chairlift or two away.
