Jasper Ready For Winter After Devastating Fire
Published : 06-Oct-2024 03:05
The world-famous ski town of Jasper in Canada, which saw about a third of its properties destroyed in a huge and sudden forest fire in the summer, has begun re-opening and will be operational for the coming ski season, set to kick off next month.
The local ski centre of Marmot Basin escaped the fire but did see some services cut and only just got the first of its webcams back online this week, showing some of the first snowfalls of the autumn.
In an online update, Marmot Basin posted:
"We've been working hard behind the scenes in preparation for the upcoming season, and we can't wait to welcome everyone back to the hill in November! There have been a lot of questions about what services will be available in Jasper, and we know many of you are wondering what will be open this season. Despite a very challenging summer, our community has been hard at work, and we're thrilled to let everyone know that many businesses and hotels are already open, or will be re-opening in the coming weeks. For a full list of businesses that are open, or will be re-opening in advance of the ski season, please visit our website at www.skimarmot.com/new-updates/welcoming-you-back-jasper/ which will be updated as new opening information is confirmed. Jasper welcomes your support this winter, and we look forward to seeing the friendly faces of our skiers and snowboarders soon!"
