Visitor Reviews of Marmot Basin

Anton Romirer from NEW ZEALAND writes:

Marmot basin is the resort that you wish you had. It is the way you would want a resort to be. Short, if any, lift lines. Always a seat avaliable in the restaurants. Ego snow that you can always look good on. Staff that are friendly. The runs range from the easiest for the beginners on a magic carpet to advanced double diamond powder chutes and bowls. From a family resort to the challenging stuff! Nice modern lifts too!
And a highly professional Snow School! Jasper, the town where the accomodation is located, is just how you would imagine a town in the Canadian Rockies should be. No lies, no pretense, just natural and friendly.
The locals surprise you with their genuine friendliness and kindness. Even to the point when you even think about crossing the road all cars stop for you to cross... even if ther is no pedestrian crossing.
Fully reccomended. We are going to return!
