"Set within a neighboring national park and surrounded by jagged Rockies and glaciers, this high‑altitude mountain has many runs above treeline and wide‑open terrain suited to both beginners and intermediates. The resort hosts an annual pride festival every April and sits conveniently along the scenic Icefields Parkway for combined itineraries. The Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge is the recommended place to stay, coming alive in winter with skating, a lakeside hot tub, and seasonal programming." - Jonny Bierman
