Main facilities at Marmot Basin - what you can expect on the mountain and nearby to make your ski-trip work smoothly.

On-Mountain & Resort Facilities

Ski / Snowboard Rentals & Repairs - Marmot Basin runs a full rental department supplying skis, snowboards, boots, poles (and helmets). They also offer tuning, waxing, and repair services. Rental gear can be reserved online (recommended 48 h ahead), or you can walk in when you arrive.

Ski & Snowboard Lessons / Snow School - Lessons are available for all ages and ability levels. Options include group lessons (for beginners or intermediates), private lessons, and full-day lessons. There are also kids' and family packages.

Lift Passes / Ticketing - Full-mountain lift tickets are available, as are half-day or beginner-area passes. Pass holders use RFID cards.

Day Lodges and Food & Beverage - There are several lodges on the mountain where visitors can eat, warm up, or take a break.

Base-area lodge (Caribou Chalet) - has cafeteria, espresso bar, bar & grill.

Mid-mountain lodges (Paradise Chalet, Eagle Chalet, etc.) - cafeterias and small bar/restaurant services on the slopes so you don't have to return to the base for lunch.

Terrain Parks - Marmot Basin includes terrain parks (lower, mid and upper mountain) with features like jumps, rails, boxes and jibs - suitable for freestyle skiing and snowboarding.

Ski Storage & Overnight Rental Return - If you rent skis/boards, there is space for overnight storage so you don't have to haul gear every day.

Access & Transportation Support - Shuttle/bus access from the town of Jasper, Alberta to the resort is often available, helpful for those staying in town rather than self-driving.

Accommodation & Nearby Town Facilities

No On-Mountain Overnight Lodging - Marmot Basin itself does not have ski-in / ski-out or on-mountain hotels or lodges.

Lodging in Jasper - All accommodations are located in the town of Jasper (about 20 km away). Options range from basic motels or hostels to more upscale hotels or lodges.

Ski Shuttle from Town to Hill - Many lodging providers or tour operators offer shuttle or transfer services between Jasper town and Marmot Basin.

Après-Ski, Dining & Town Amenities - Once you're done for the day, Jasper town offers restaurants, shops, and other services (after-ski food, lodging, supply shops), giving more variety than the resort alone.

Having full rental gear on-site, instruction for all ages, and multiple lodges with food means that Jasper's Marmot Basin is well-equipped even if you come with nothing but yourself. The absence of on-mountain lodging is offset by the convenience of Jasper town; so most people stay in town and commute to the hill. The terrain parks, gear rentals, and snow-school make it friendly to a wide variety of skiers and snowboarders: beginners, families, freestyle riders, and those who just want a no-fuss mountain day.
