“Jasper in January” a can’t miss event
Jasper, Alberta any month of the year is spectacular, but for the past 30 years “Jasper in January” has been just a little extra special.
The annual three-week festival features concerts, great food, dog sledding, special deals on skiing and lodging and much, much more! From January 10-27 the number one ski town in North America as voted by USA Today readers shows its unpretentious atmosphere.
The skiing/boarding at Marmot Basin features spectacular mountain views and terrain for every type of skier from novice to expert. If you are confident on your boards, the new Tres Hombres area features black and double black runs with steep fall line riding. With 7 lifts and short wait times it doesn’t take long to get your legs burning and get your runs in. The conditions are excellent and with more snow in the forecast for the rest of the month it will make Jasper in January that much more enjoyable.
If you’re not a downhiller, you can take a tour of Maligne Canyon. The frozen waterfalls and ice formations are a must see. Or you can hop on a fat bike, strap on the cross-country skis or snowshoes and go for a tour, just be on the look out for a local elk or the whole heard.
