Find ski buddies in Edmonton

Edmonton's riders make the most of the North Saskatchewan River valley, where small hills like Snow Valley, Sunridge and the Edmonton Ski Club give quick sessions right in the city, with Rabbit Hill just to the south. For real mountains, Marmot Basin near Jasper is the classic weekend trip, and some head south to the Banff resorts. The local hills are a great place to learn and keep your legs sharp between trips. Long, cold winters make for a dedicated crowd, and organised trips to the mountains are a popular way to meet people.
