5 Top Activities for winter
5 Top Activities for winter
Just a few activities
Snowshoe
Snowshoeing is great for the whole family and those that are not so physically fit to the mountain standards. The snowshoes can be rented in most of the local sport shops in Jasper and you can also take a tour. Find out more with links provided at the bottom of the posts.

Cross Country Skiing
Jasper has quite a large mass that has many trails to explore. Some are ungroomed, but that makes it fun to explore. Sometimes the lakes are frozen and a nice layer of snow gives access to beautiful spots on cross country. Another great family activity. Groomed trails are available is various part of Jasper.

Skiing & Snowboarding
Mountain skiing & snowboarding is quick and easy, Marmot Basin is our local ski hill in Jasper National Park. Normally the week days are the best time to ride the hill. I feel like it is a private playground with almost zero line ups for the lifts. Plenty of different levels of terrain for the whole family. If you are into slopestyle, they boast three terrain parks.

Ever skate on a frozen lake? There are two lakes that the public can access for free, Lake Mildred at the Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge property and Pyramid Lake. Both these lakes are maintained by the resorts.
There is also an indooor skating rink where you can catch a local game.
