JASPER - Those who love it, love it a lot.

And for those who love winter in the Great Outdoors – there's a lot to love at Jasper in January, Alberta's own unique answer to Quebec's Winter Carnival and Winnipeg's Festival du Voyageur.

The festival is a two-week showcase for everything that's great about the Rockies in Winter.

This is where the adventure of Great Outdoors meets the arts and culture of the Great Indoors – a party in the park that's become “Western Canada's premiere winter festival.”
