Jasper ski resort
Snow Range
1704-2601m
a true all round Rocky Mountain experience with a superb ski area
This friendly frontier town lies in the middle of spectacular scenery, where nature steals the show; elk, moose, deer and big horn sheep roam free, whilst a symphony of colours can be seen in the magnificent dawns and dusks.
Today, Jasper offers the same unpretentious charm as it did in the old days when frequented by fur traders.
The Marmot Basin ski area has uncrowded slopes, majestic alpine bowls and beautifully groomed tree-lined runs, all covered by one of the best value lift passes in Canada.
