Skiing in Marble Mountain
Lessons for beginners are on the gentle run of 'Country Road', which ambles for several miles through the trees with scenic views. Intermediates have the choice of the various blue runs, which meander easily around the mountain. More expert skiers can test their nerves on ‘Boomerang’, a double black mogul run, amongst others.
Boarders are well catered for, with newly-added, groomed trails, a competition half pipe and an excellent terrain park, as well as good off-piste. The half-pipe opens early in the season.
Apres-ski, restaurants and other activities in Marble Mountain
For something a little different, we recommend trying the dogsled trek through the backcountry where you will see mountain vistas and the chance to see wildlife such us moose, caribou & small game.
Marble Mountain is a great resort for families. Children as young as three can take part in the snow programmes and there is also an on site Kids Kamp to keep them entertained for hours. A child minding service is available for the under 3s. The whole family can enjoy an evening at the Family Adventure Tube Park or over 40km of groomed trails at the Blow Me Down Cross Country Ski Park.
