Top Winter Activities in Alberta

Don’t just stick to the trails you see first. I suggest taking some time to explore the lesser-known slopes, which had way fewer people and some of the best powder. It made my experience way better.

Bring your own food if you can, because the on-site dining can be pricey and sometimes the food isn’t that great. I packed some snacks and it saved me a lot!

Make sure to check out the Marmot Basin app for live updates on lift status and weather – it really helped me plan my day better!

I recommend renting your gear in Jasper town instead of at the resort. It's often cheaper, and you can pick up your stuff the night before.

I recommend buying your lift tickets online a few days before you go. It saved me around 20% and I skipped the long lines. Plus, you can avoid the chaos at the ticket booth.

I suggest checking the weather forecast before you head out. I didn't check and ended up in a snowstorm. Not the best day for snowboarding, trust me!

I suggest getting there around 9 AM right when it opens. It gets crowded later, and you'll have more time for sledding without the long lines. Plus, the fresh snow in the morning is just awesome!
