People Ahead Have The Right Away

Your safety is our primary concern. Our Ski Patrol is on the mountain to make sure you have a safe day on the slopes and all members of Marble Mountain’s Ski Patrol are trained and certified by the Canadian Ski Patrol System (CSPS). They’re easy to find – just look for their bright yellow and blue coats and backpacks with the CSPS badge.

We want you to have fun on our mountain and the only way to have a carefree winter is to know and adhere to the Alpine Responsibility Code. Over the next 10 weeks we’ll remind you of the common sense rules responsible skiing and riding.

1) People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.

Know the Code. Be safety conscious. It’s your responsibility.

Maximum Fun, Minimum Hassle: A Vacation for the Whole Family

Planning a vacation for the whole family is never easy. Pleasing a five-year-old princess, an eight-year-old bookworm, a twelve-year-old skater and a worn-out, stressed-out husband can seem nigh impossible. And of course Mom wants to have SOME fun, too.

Marble Mountain is just the ticket.

You see, around here, we’re kid-friendly, whether your kid likes snow or says no-go. Our Children’s Centre is a fun, safe place for kids of any age. Trained childcare professionals are on hand to keep a watchful eye, and we’re well stocked with entertaining and educational toys and activities. We even offer one-on-one care for infants, or if you feel your child needs a little extra attention. For older kids, age-appropriate outdoor activities are available, and of course there’s beginners ski lessons if they’re up to giving the hill a whirl.

So, go ahead. Arrange for childcare, and ski off guilt-free knowing your child is having just as much fun as you are. Later, when everyone’s all tuckered out and tucked in, cozy up in the lodge with a big glass of red and remember why you married hubby in the first place: that amazing foot rub he gives.

Welcome to Marble Mountain’s blog!

It has been called the best skiing in Eastern Canada and anyone who has been skiing or snowboarding at Marble Mountain knows why!

The resort lies in a snow belt that gets an average snowfall of 16 feet a year and an average daytime winter temperature of -5 degrees Celsius. Marble Mountain is part of the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range, which stretches right up from Georgia in the Southern United States. The summit of Marble Mountain is 1,700 feet above the Humber River, which cuts a winding path through the majestic Humber Valley to the Bay of Islands on Newfoundland’s west coast.
