Lots of skiable runs and accessible from Edmonton. We usually get up early morning to make first tracks with a stop in Hinton for breakfast. The chalets have plenty of seating space if you go during off hours, and the cafes have a larger selection of food to choose from. My family has adopted a schedule that has coffee/snack at 11:00 and lunch at 1:00, which minimizes wait time. The poutine from the upper chalet is a favorite skiing comfort food. If they ever get rid of the chicken caesar wrap I will protest in the strongest possible ways! The chairlifts have been continuously upgraded, but there are a few relic chairs that are slow, but give you ample time to consider your place in the universe. We love Marmot, have a number of strong Christmas and Spring Break traditions built around it, and I encourage anyone to go!
