Description of the Ski Area:
Take a deep breath and prepare yourself for a grand adventure. In a place where snow comes from Heaven, not from Earth. Where you spend more time on your favourite run than in a lift line. Where the “wildlife” is not limited to party animals, but includes deer, elk, and other creatures.
When you come to Marmot Basin in Jasper National Park you’ll understand what it really means to get away from it all. So take a deep breath and come experience what a true mountain ski adventure is meant to be.
