Margot basin is my favorite place to snowboard, it has it's difficult parts, or at least for me they can be, I'm not saying if you are a thrill seeker extraordinaire that you'll fall in love with this mountain but if you enjoy hitting the slopes and having a good time, this is the place I'd recomme...

Great ski hill with amazing view. Snow isnt the best but marmots terrain makes up for that. You can go from the steep, double black diamonds on eagle ridge, the nice, fluffy powder near the knob chair, or the beginner section at the bottom. Oh yeah, if you head up the road to the ski hill, make sure...

I am giving the Marmot resort five stars even though the power went out today(Jan4) and the day was ruined. The powder was amazing. The services were amazing( when they worked) and the people were amazing. They gave a full refund, took responsibility for things they were NOT in control over. No guar...

Nice mix of runs. Parking is very convenient located up on the side of the hill. This allows you to ski in and ski out from the parking lot. Is also convenient if you want to bring your own lunch. Lift lines move quickly though you need to keep moving as there is not really a set line but people jus...

Runs are well maintained and this is one of my favourite ski hills to date. However, for what is being charged for a hotdog, fries and a pop at the concession areas, the checkout staff could do with a little customer relations training!!

Top ski area in the middle of the forest. Wide slopes that can be easily changed in the difficulty grades, since they often cross. Great lift system, there are only chair lifts. You can drive almost to the slopes by car, no music, no drunks, just skiing.

Awesome skiing. So close to Jasper. Wonderful people and a beautiful facility. We went with a group of 15, all abilities. The lessons and instructors were fantastic. They even offered to stay with the students longer if needed.
We unfortunately had one crash that we needed the ski patrol to he...

Not a huge resort and they usually don't have fantastic amounts of snow (ice and rocks poking out are not uncommon) but it tends to be a quieter place with less people on the hill and in the lift lines. Nevertheless it's always a fun place to ride with a fresh dump of snow.

The lifts are very quick, the mountain is a great size for beginners and for experienced skiers. All of the runs were well groomed and maintained, the staff was cheerful and the road going up was plowed and sanded. The parking sucks unless you get there early, but honestly people parked like complet...

Since 1999, I've been fortunate to have lived in Jasper, North Vancouver, and New Zealand, and I've been able to travel the US and Europe. Being in these places gave me the opportunity to ride dozens of resort around the world. There are lots of great places to ski and snowboard. I've had deep, powd...

Great place, no gondola only chairlift so keep in mind if you struggle with dismount. Green runs are gentle and great for beginners learning to snowboard. I had forgotten my Costco ticket back in Edmonton thinking Costco had only sold me one ticket instead of two for my partner and I. The admin on s...

I say this to those who ask me why I go to this place so often: I don't personally believe in an afterlife but if there a heaven, this is it.

Came here 10 times for the 2018/2019 season and not once did I regret my stay

There's some absolutely stunning views to enjoy while snowboarding/skying/...

My first time skiing in the mountains. Beautiful views and no lineups at the lifts.
Three parking lots offer ski out and ski back to the car trails. The rental process was quick and efficient and the quality of the equipment was great. The instructor for my lesson patiently helped me gain confidenc...

Marmot Basin has something for all skiers and boarders. The lifts are fast and the staff are always helpful! They have delicious food and it's always fun to grab a beer at the mid-mountain chalet. The lessons are high quality because the instructors are very knowledgeable. Overall, I am always impre...

Best experience ever. The whole family did lessons and my youngest just wasn't getting it. They made accommodations and got him in with Sophie for some extra lessons. She was beyond amazing with him and he was so confident after his lesson with her. Lunch was fantastic and the hill was so much fun....

Me and my family had to extend our stay by 1 day because parking lot was full by 8am. They dont take reservations for parking or do they limit the tickets sold so the day we planned to go was a no go. We went the following day and had a blast.

The ski instruction was AWESOME. Smaller groups allowed for more personalized instruction and that made all the difference in the world to my enjoyment of the experience and all of what is to come now that i know how to handle myself on the runs.

I went on a very cold day so the lifts were a little chilly. Nice that the chalet has open cubbies for storage and reasonable food. Not study or ostentatious.

One of the employees Shawn stopped to help a young girl in our party and gave an impromptu lesson. Very kind and helpful. Thanks Shawn!! Y...

My dad starting taking us here when we were young and throughout the years I have come back many times. It is a great place to learn how to ski/snowboard. Even when it's really busy it doesn't take long to get on a lift. Lots of easy runs and challenging terrain as well. Staff are friendly. All...
