The new Canadian Rockies Express gets skiers and riders to the top of the upper slopes in less than half the time it took previously and has significantly changed the way the mountain is skied. Ski Canada also awarded Marmot Basin with 'Best Off The Mark' for their earliest opening ever, November 11, 2009.
This season Marmot Basin has been setting new attendance records, with record snowfall, the area's new lift and a new and much bigger terrain park all contributing to the successful season so far that has surpassed expectations.
"We knew we had a winning season on our hands with the installation of our new high speed quad chair but the skier turnout this season has been phenomenal", said Brian Rode, Marmot's VP of Marketing. "Marketing a ski area is a whole lot easier when conditions are this good and you have the biggest new chairlift in North America"
With three months still left in Marmot Basin's long season, skiers and boarders have plenty of time to take advantage of the near perfect ski conditions and try out the new chairlift at Marmot Basin.
