Best Ski Resort for Snowboarders in Ontario: Calabogie Peaks - Snowboarders Rating

Snowboarders at Calabogie Peaks consistently praise the variety and quality of the runs. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said, "My home town hill! I've been there several times and I'm never disappointed. Conditions are always great and the runs are super fun." The mountain offers everything from challenging slopes to easier terrain, making it ideal for all ability levels. One Snomad community member liked that despite having only two lifts, "the lines go pretty quickly." While some mention that the terrain park could use improvement, most agree that Calabogie delivers where it counts—on the slopes themselves, with well-maintained groomed runs and a focus on the riding experience.

#2 Horseshoe Resort - Snowboarders Rating

Horseshoe Resort is a hit with snowboarders of all levels. A user who is an advanced snowboarder said the terrain parks are "super cool," with features like boxzilla and snow cross courses with integrated rails and jumps. The well-groomed runs allow for "long swooping carves" according to Shmev, while Noah particularly enjoyed the tree runs during his first visit. It's especially brilliant for families and beginners - Mike loved the chair lift on the kids' hill which helped children get comfortable before tackling bigger runs. Some boarders note there are flat spots to watch out for, but the efficient lifts keep you riding all day.

#3 Mt St Louis-Moonstone - Snowboarders Rating

Snowboarders at Mt St Louis-Moonstone consistently praise the resort's terrain park offerings. A Snomad user who's an expert snowboarder mentioned it's "everything Blue Mountain wishes it could be in the terrain park department." The resort shines for progression, with multiple users highlighting how it's an ideal spot to learn and develop boarding skills. One advanced rider who's had a season pass for years fondly recalls it as where they first learned to snowboard. While weekends can get crowded, the efficient lift system (including the much-loved 8-person chairlift with heated seats) keeps things moving, making it a favourite destination for Ontario's boarding community.
