Marble Mountain is a mountain located on the west coast of the Canadian island of Newfoundland in the Long Range Mountains.
The mountain itself is a series of steep ridges forming part of the southern side of the Humber River valley. The highest point of Marble Mountain is "Mount Musgrave" (540 m, Template:Coor dms) at Steady Brook, approximately 7 kilometres east of Corner Brook.
Mount Musgrave is the location of the largest alpine ski resort in Atlantic Canada, as well as hosting Environment Canada's doppler weather radar station "XME".
The Marble Mountain Ski Resort is known to have some of the best skiing east of the rockies with an average of 16.5 feet of snow each year compared to Mont Tremblant's 12 feet.
