Marble Mountain Resort
Newfoundland
Marble Mountain Resort is Atlantic Canada's winter playground. The resort lies in a snow belt and gets an average annual snowfall of 16 feet. Marble Mountain is part of the foothills of the Appalachian Mountain Range, stretching 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.
The Lodge
Marble Mountain's magnificent post and beam lodge was designed to reflect the natural, rugged beauty of the area. The spacious 54,000 square-foot lodge is set at the base of the mountain and has been called "the most beautiful lodge in the world" by a writer for Powder Magazine.
Snowboarding
All terrain at Marble Mountain is open to snowboarders, but Marble also has a fantastic terrain park and half-pipe. The half-pipe opens early in the season and is lit on Friday nights so you can rip it up under the stars.
Lift System
Marble Mountain's Governor's Express is the only high-speed detachable quad lift in Atlantic Canada. It's one of four lifts that will carry you up the slopes and the line ups are usually short, which means you'll spend less time on the lifts and more time on the mountain.
Getting There
Marble Mountain is easily accessible by air via two local airports: Deer Lake Airport, just 20 minutes away, and Stephenville Airport, 45 minutes away. When you drive to Marble Mountain, your trip will include a ride on one of Marine Atlantic's passenger super ferries, departing daily from North Sydney, Nova Scotia. The sea journey ends at Port aux Basques, a three-hour drive from Corner Brook and Marble Mountain Resort on the Trans Canada Highway.
