Drop the rope: Historic turns made in Marmot Basin’s new expert terrain
Bob Covey 
Thursday, December 21, 2017
On December 1, high above the town of Jasper, a small group of local skiers and snowboarders were unloading from Marmot Basin’s Paradise chairlift. It was a chilly morning, there was a trace of new snow on the ground and a quick glance at the ski tenure below indicated that the groomed runs were in ...

By David Harrap I met him again 13 years later. It was late afternoon and he was coming out of a Jasper bakery. A scruffy stooped figured, raw b...

Getting her feet wet: Putting the can in canyoning
Megan Warren 
Sunday, September 17, 2017
“When was the last time you did something for the first time?” The catchphrase at the bottom of Joe Storms’ business card is a challenge in no uncertain terms. And so, with an invitation to experience canyoning with Storms and his nascent Jasper National Park company, Rocky Mountain Canyoning, I too...

Weed ‘em out: Talbot Lake offers prime pike-stalking waters

Talbot Lake is ultra-clear, shallow, and full of fish. Located 30 kilometres east of Jasper, Talbot offers the ideal day trip for a fishing adventure of the toothy kind. And while the park is chalk-full of opportunities to catch all manner of trout, Talbot represents the only readily accessible body...

Jasper’s Peter Amann to be honoured as ACC’s Mountain Guides Ball patron
Bob Covey 
Thursday, June 1, 2017
Peter Amann doesn’t have a bucket list. The 62-year-old mountain guide doesn’t have a catalog of peaks he needs to climb to feel like he’s been successful in the mountains. He doesn’t concern himself with all the 11,000 foot summits, for example, and he doesn’t care much about what others regard as ...
