Jasper was devastated by Summer wildfires but the township is rebuilding thanks to an unbelievable community spirit. Tourism is a critical part of Jasper’s economy, and we’re looking forward to support local businesses as they welcome back tourists.
On this trip you’ll be hosted by Jasper locals who are passionate about the town they grew up in. You’ll get to shred at their home resort, Marmot Basin with plenty of insider local knowledge and good times on-snow. You’ll stay downtown which puts you in the perfect spot to drink and dine at the restaurants and bars in this historical township. You’ll also see plenty of the Canadian wildlife and scenery with a guided wildlife tour and icewalk into the deepest reaches of Maligne Canyon. Here’s what you can expect on this trip:
Ride at Marmot Basin – you’ll spend 4 days riding with our local guides. Marmot has the highest base elevation of all the Canadian Rockies resorts you can expect reliable snow quality and a relaxed, crowd-free vibe. You’ve got the best of both worlds terrain wise with plenty of options both above and below the treeline. If the trip lines up with a storm, you can expect super cold and dry Alberta powder that will last for days thanks to cold temps, favorable aspects and the high elevation.
