Forget hibernating at home – head to Jasper! Deep in the Alberta Rockies, this area offers views, wilderness and enough winter fun to tempt anyone into the cold. I know my dream Jasper weekend includes:

1- Skiing AND snowboarding at Marmot Basin |
|
| 2- Icefields Parkway road trip This scenic drive cuts across the backbone of the Canadian Rockies, offering up soaring peaks, ancient glaciers, brilliant lakes and pristine forests. |
|
|
3- Touring the Columbia Icefield |
|
| 4- Backcountry trek in Jasper National Park Step into the snowshoes of a fur trader or strap on cross-country skis to travel deep snow, spectacular vistas and wildlife. |
|
| 5- Moonlit walk of Maligne Canyon Inch carefully over an icy shelf threaded through sheer limestone cliffs and caves to reach (and touch) the frozen beauty of Angel Falls. |
So get set to board a train, burn off some calories and enjoy that fireplace lounge even more!
