Best Ski Resort for Expert Skiers in Ontario: Mt St Louis-Moonstone - Experts Rating

Expert skiers and snowboarders at Mt St Louis-Moonstone consistently praise the resort's superior snowmaking capabilities. One Snomad community member liked that it's "probably the only resort in ON where you're sure not to ski on ice." The terrain parks receive exceptional feedback, with an advanced snowboarder saying they're "the best out of any of the resorts I've been to." The new 8-person chairlift with heated seats gets multiple mentions for reducing wait times and improving efficiency. Early morning sessions are recommended to avoid weekend crowds, as Stewart, an expert snowboarder, advises: "It does get busy on the weekends so be sure to go during the week."

#2 Blue Mountain - Experts Rating

Blue Mountain gets high marks from our expert skiers and riders. One Snomad community member who's been visiting for over 30 years says it's "the best in Ontario." While experts note the runs are shorter than western resorts, they appreciate the efficient lift system that maximises slope time. An advanced snowboarder praised the "great terrain parks" with excellent progression features. Though powder days are rare, the terrain variety keeps things interesting with mogul fields and tree runs available when conditions permit. Weekdays offer the best experience for experts looking to avoid crowds, with one user specifically recommending Friday nights for quieter slopes and shorter lift queues.
