5 Top Activities for winter

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.
