Jasper Freeride Club annual trek to the peak of Marmot Basin.
Skiing Activities
Winter is a wonderful time of year for some, especially if you embrace the winter sports like skiing. This page will be dedicated to all the skiing you can explore around Jasper.
A winter playground for all ages. Ski the seemingly unending slopes of Marmot Basin Ski Area, just 20 minutes away from the town of Jasper. Marmot is a great place for all skill levels and because of its location on the eastern slopes of the Rockies, the alpine bowls have the driest natural powder in the Rockies.

Right from your doorstep, groomed trails take you through scores of beautiful valleys. Backcountry enthusiasts will revel in day-trips and multi-day trips to the Bald Hills or spend a week in the Tonquin Valley as well as many other hut-hopping opportunities all over the park.
