Not near Jasper, I'm not in Alberta.

But it is a well known winter sports location.

I can see the chair lift at the top so I am going to go for a process of elimination as I do not recognise the picture. I'll go for looking up at Whistler/Blackcomb.

Correct. I can't remember where I took this from but you can just see the Cloudraker Skybridge on Whistler Mountain if you zoom in. Was an eerie walk across in the cloud.

USA. Name of the range, but bonus for the name of peak at right side of peak (well known ski peak). Or any peak names.

[sandym]

The nearby city is well known for being dry.

[sandym]

Name of the range, where there are multiple well known ski resorts and the nearby city is well known for closing on Sunday for religious reasons.

[icefest]

SLC, but i dont have photos.

[sandym]

Close enough given no other takers, but the range is the Wasatch, and the mountain is Gobblers Knob.

[icefest]

Yes Greg, very wild west-ish small town. Although I think I'm actually standing in Wyoming near the entrance gate to Yellowstone National Park. Over to you.
