Marmot Basin left untouched by mammoth Jasper wildfire

The Jasper wildfire that torched around 30% of the townsite left the iconic Marmot Basin unscathed, with the ski hill reporting no loss of structures.

In an update on Monday, the ski hill stated that infrastructure at Marmot Basin has not been affected by the Jasper Complex Wildfire. All facilities, buildings, and ski lifts are completely intact.

“Our first priority continues to support our staff during this profoundly difficult time. We are eternally grateful for the unending and selfless efforts of so many who have, and continue to tirelessly protect our people and community,” the update stated.

Marmot Basin added that it intends to operate its ski area this upcoming season, which will “take much work on the part of many.”

Updates are set to follow as more information becomes available.
