Home » Canada » Marmot Basin
Marmot Basin has an abundant variety of skiing terrain and a reputation for some of the best glade skiing the Canadian Rockies have to offer. Tree-lined trails, wide open bowls, long gentle runs, steep expert chutes and high alpine snowfields make up this diverse and exciting ski area. There is a friendly, uncommercialised, laid back atmosphere not usually found in such a large resort. Marmot has 75 named trails, 8 lifts including a high speed quad, three day lodges , 1,500 acres of skiable terrain and a longest run of 5.6km. In addition to the lift-served terrain several areas can be accessed via a short hike which will take the adventurous skier into untracked powder filled bowls and gullies. Marmot Basin usually gets 400cm of dry, light powder every season which makes for excellent powder skiing off the groomed runs, through the trees and in the high alpine bowls off the Knob Chair. Charlies Bowl and Dupres Chutes are the two areas most favoured by local powder hounds. Marmot Basion's terrain expanded for the 2003-4 season with the completion of Eagle Ridge Phase 3. Two new bowls opened on Eagle East, known as Sugar Bowl and Birthday Bowl - expanding upper bowl skiing by forty percent. Extensive and selective tree removal also means more glade skiing. The Chalet Slope offers runs for all abilities, including gladed terrain. The remote location of Eagle East compared to the rest of the ski area creates a sense of wilderness and adventure.
