What's it like at Marmot Basin resort?

Marmot Basin is a truly unique skiing destination that is surrounded by the protected wilderness of Jasper National Park, which is Canada's largest Rocky Mountain park. Virtually every location on the mountain offers an inspirational viewpoint. With the highest base elevation of any major ski area in Canada, the season begins in mid-November and lasts to early May. Nature delivers over 450 centimeters of dry, light snow annually. Skiers and snowboarders can explore a wide variety of runs, equally split between novice, intermediate and expert, on five mountain faces. As one of the least crowded major ski areas in North America, powder stashes last for days and everyone has room to carve turns at their own pace.

bob from Canada writes:

Chalets are full of school groups. They block off and reserve the majority of the seating for these huge groups leaving nowhere for the regular public to sit. As a family with small children we have to take turns skiing and our last trip we had to post up on the floor. Used to be known as a really family friendly hill, not as much now.
