5x7 pass has great value if you plan on skiing here several times. Parks and tree runs are good when theres enough snow and end of year activities like pond skims are great and well organized. Can get busy during peak hours, but the night skiing typically has short lift lines if any. Great place for family vacations in Ontario but the lack of verticality and terrain does not compare to resorts out west. Very chill community as well, great vibes if youre looking for a local resort in southern Ontario.

Convenient for a day trip from Toronto. Can be very icy and lacking in powder. Lifts can be far apart and hard to walk / ski between. Very busy on weekends. Terrain is not massively varied and the runs are very short.

Nothing like out west. Very icy and low level of service. Only looking to attract city customers not real skiers

Blue mountain is the biggest ski resort you will get in Ontario with a ton of options whether is going there to ski, shop, eat, and etc. Anything you can think of for entertainment they basically have. Lots of terrain and runs to ski in. Not only do they have winter stuff but they also have a many different things to do in the summer as well. I would 100% recommend going there.

Excellent hill and such a great group of staff - all so friendly and funny. Best hill if youre looking for a good time. Good party vibes - family friendly but this is a drinking resort. 10/10

Honestly, this review may be a tad biased. I have a special place in my heart for Blue Mountain as this is where I learned to ski. It is absolutely unmatched in terms of picturesque views. I also cannot say enough good things about the ski school - the group I was in progressed quite quickly and by the end of my 3/4 days in the school it had turned into a more technical class at the beginner-intermediate level as opposed to the newbie course we started. While it tends to be quite expensive it is worth every single penny, the combination that is a vast range of runs, unique and amazing scenery, a top notch ski school, and great vibe/ feel to the whole place. The place is a must visit for everyone if possible.

Largest ski resort in Ontario, roughly 2h drive from Toronto. Tried to do the best with the vertical (under 200m) available but you can ski every run in one day so wanderers will quickly be bored. Express lifts all around but one should avoid Saturdays as lift lines are gigantic. Resort is owned by Alterra (Ikon Pass), food is very expensive...

Well maintained, lots to do on and off the hill. Busy on weekends, but lots of lifts to manage people. Limited variety, short runs, beautiful views. Great place if you are looking for an overall experience.

Blue is a hill not a mountain! Prepare yourself for overcrowded lift lines to ride 500 vertical ft over and over again. Seems like a lot of time and money is spent on the village itself, and not the ski hill or snowmakin. That being said its a fun weekend trip with friends, but if youre looking to actually ski or board, this isnt the resort for you.

Great variety of slopes for all abilities. Lift capacity is excellent. Ski school is great and Rory Ring is the best instructor on the mountain.
