If Colin Borrow had his way, he'd have 11 months of winter per year, and spend most of that time skiing. As the Director of Skiing at Marmot Basin, his life is pretty much as close as possible to that ideal. In the seventh episode of Venture Beyond: The Series, this lifelong ski instructor tells his story.
Follow in his tracks with this two-day Jasper itinerary that straddles the line between late winter and early spring.
Day 1
Afternoon - Lunch at the Eagle
Rest the legs and refuel with lunch at the Eagle Restaurant in Marmot's Eagle Chalet, the most quintessential ski in, ski out alpine eatery in the Canadian Rockies.
After finishing his meal, Borrow likes to ski to the end of the day and maybe do a walk up to Cornice.
Day 2
Afternoon - Lunch at Caribou Grill
Grab a late lunch at Caribou Grill, Marmot Basin's main restaurant at the base chalet.
Afterwards, Borrow might take on Tres Hombres, the (relatively newly opened) section of the mountain dedicated to very advanced skiers who want steep, deep, heart-racing runs.
