Canada’s northernmost resort, Jasper’s scenic ski area (Marmot Basin) is relatively compact, famously uncrowded and great for all abilities. With a great on-piste vibe, Marmot Basin is known as The Big Friendly. The backcountry was previously limited to the bowls and tree-lined gullies within this area but new terrain has now opened to put Marmot firmly on the map.

Tres Hombres is a large, north-facing area previously beyond Marmot Basin’s outer limits. Without any trees, and measuring around 45 acres, it is providing advanced and expert skiers and snowboarders with incredible, wide-open off-piste terrain including powder-filled bowls and chutes that descend 367 vertical metres - Marmot Basin’s longest, uninterrupted fall-line.

On the banks of the Athabasca River, Jasper town is a 15-minute shuttle from the ski area. This 19th-century fur-trading post has a wonderful sense of community - the locals go out of their way to make you feel welcome.

Facilities are excellent, with plenty of restaurants and shops. Après activities range from drinks at Caribou Chalet Lodge, to swimming at the local aquatic centre, and guided tours to frozen waterfalls. If you’re lucky, you may even catch a glimpse of a moose or elk by the river during your Jasper ski holiday.

"The skiing in Jasper is fantastic for a small mountain - it’s very diverse and advanced skiers can get a lot out of it in just a few days."

Customer Reviews

What our customers say about Jasper.

Quiet and friendly, walk along the rd and Elk graving by the railway, perfect Canada. Great ski area with everything from beginner slope to extreme in easy reach.

I thought Jasper was an excellent resort with plenty of bars and restaurants. I didn’t think the skiing at Marmot Basin was as good as some resorts. On occasion lifts were not running which limited the skiing.

Love this resort. So much quieter than Banff and definitely quieter than Europe. Slopes are fabulous in Marmot Baisin and the snow is always good. Like the longer season. Jasper town is a gem too.

Jasper is a small town but with plenty of places to eat and drink. The railway is close by and the rumble of cargo trains can be heard throughout the night. During January the morning are really quite dark until 08:30 - 09:00. Jasper residents were a delight and very friendly.

Quiet, friendly mountain with lots of different terrain, no lift queues, lucky with the abundance of snow. On mountain dining reasonable.

Another fantastic trip to Canada and Jasper to Banff. The weather conditions made the trip a real challenge but also very enjoyable. An adventure to say the least and plenty of memories made and stories to tell!

Really enjoyed skiing here, smaller than other resorts we have been to, but has a lovely relaxed unpretentious feel about it. Easy access, quiet and a super friendly local town. Plenty of restaurants and bars.

Ski area quite small so only needs a day or so to fully ski it! Otherwise snow conditions were great and the slopes were so quiet it was brilliant.

Small town but very friendly, couple of supermarkets, plenty of family friendly places to eat, prices not over-inflated so didn't feel ripped off, even at the couple of cafes on the slopes - plus free to access indoor picnic areas a nice touch.

Nice town with a variety of eating places. We did a Maligne Canyon ice walk with Jasper Hikes and Tours which was amazing and superb value. The mountain itself has groomed slopes and was suitable for intermediate boarders. It is a small mountain so a couple of days boarding was perfect.
