Looking at satellite imagery from August 11th around Jasper and you can see how close the fire came to Marmot Basin. Looks like the road up acted as a bit of firebreak.

I feel dirty. I just booked paid parking at Marmot Basin to ensure I have a spot when I drive up Saturday morning. With likely around 80cm of snow in the last few days I expect it could be busy.
Edit: For reference I was volunteer ski patrol for over 20 years there so the advent of paid parking is a bit of a shock given the space they turned over to it is where we parked for decades for free.

Had a great day at #MarmotBasin in #Jasper today. Sunny skies, not too cold. I’m impressed with the work patrol and avalanche control put into opening new terrain. I’ve skied there for over three decades and never thought I’d see Marmot 2 open for turns.
