Marmot Basin at a Glance
TWO NEW LIFTS for the 2011/2012 season will help you get to the best parts of the mountain even faster. The Paradise High Speed Quad will get you to the top of the mountain, unloading next to Canadian Rockies Express and loading near the base of the Caribou Chair. Now you can get all the way to the top, without having to ride all the way to the botttom first!
Large, snow filled bowls are paradise for powder skiers and snowboarders. For those who enjoy cruising, the state of the art grooming fleet with a new PRINOTH 350 groomer for 2011/2012 keeps the tree-lined trails groomed to perfection. Those who have already discovered Marmot Basin come back for the relaxed and friendly atmosphere, the superb variety of terrain, and the spectacular Rocky Mountain scenery.
