It's great that theyve recently upgraded the knob chair and they now have a very modern lift fleet. The powder lasts for days because there's no crowds and there are never any lift lines.

When the snow is good this is my favourite ski hill.

Such a great hill for my kids and I to learn on, great staff on the mountain. Food and beverage quality and value have declined since Dana Hospitality took over, and their policies against brown-baggers has the opposite effect to what they expect. We used to finish our day with fries, hot chocolates and beers. Now we’re not welcome in the chalet and wouldn’t dream of paying big bucks for watered-down lukewarm hot chocolate. Saves us money but it would be nice to go back to the good old days!
Over the years the resort has seen a downward trend to overall service. staff becoming less friendly and poorly trained. Cleanliness a concern and the grooming of the runs has diminished significantly . Management needs a wake up call.

Our first experience with Marmot Basin was outstanding. Super friendly staff, facilities operating efficiently, appropriate protocols for Covid19. Access to ski runs from parking lots is terrific - best of any resort in Alberta. Extensive terrain and variety of runs for intermediate (plus) skiers. Well worth our six hour drive - we’ll be adding this to our preferred ski locations.

This place is horrible. Terrible snow. Boring runs. You don't want to go here. Especially right after a huge snow fall. Stay away so I can have the whole hill and fresh snow all to myself

this is my Local hill, therefore I'm biased. but this is a unique, chill mountain, and Jasper is to Banff, like Edmonton is to Calgary, just superior... ; )

Took family up to ski. Though there are signs posted that cannabis is not permitted, it is apparent that it is perfectly fine to smoke weed at Marmot. The lift attendant said he couldn't do anything though the fellows were right there. One was so high he fell off the chair trying to get off. Guest services looked at me like I was "crazy" when I reported this.
