Ski Hills are usually described as being good at one thing or the other. Marmot is very good at everything. It is an awesome hill to take the family - tons of green runs, easy to hard blues, and THE best tree runs anywhere.

With the addition of the new chairs in recent years this is a great hill. It is set up so every level can go up any chair, the Knob, being the only exception, so the family or friends can always be together.

Had a fun day on the slopes with my son. Was a misty morning but clouds broke up in the afternoon and we enjoyed the incredible scenery...and got a bit of a goggle tan! Snow was a bit sticky, but hey...its April and we were still skiing!! More

Our first visit to this resort and guaranteed not to be our last. There are multiple chair-lifts which ensure rapid access to whichever part of the mountain you would like to ski> this resort grooms runs but also allows adjacent runs to be deep in powder which allows families who's skiers/boarders have varying abilities to ski on the same part...

hill was in great condition - lucky enough to be there with great weather and 25 cm of fresh snow. Lifts were all in great working order. the food at the bottom chalet - average fast food for above average (high) price. Kind of to be expected at the hill. More

We enjoy skiing Marmot its close for us being close to Edmonton the atmosphere is great. Usually go two or three times a month. Very nice groomed runs varying in difficulty from simple green to expert black. The chair lift line ups move at a fast progressive pace. More
