Marmot Basin is an alpine ski resort located in Jasper National Park, AB. It is located 20 minutes away from Jasper. The resort has 91 ski runs, 6 chairlifts, and three daylodges. This page will cover the Caribout Chalet, which is the lower lodge of the Marmot Basin ski resort.  It houses the Caribou Cafeteria, and Starbucks, and is the main food and beverage location for the resort.  The lodge was built in 1968, and was extensively renovated and expanded in 1997, and finally in 2004. The fire alarm system was mostly installed during the 1997 expansion, and the lower floor was upgraded in the 2004 renovation.
