What Skiers Say About Blue Mountain

Blue Mountain attracts a wide range of visitors from beginners through to advanced skiers and snowboarders, with many reviewers highlighting it as the largest and most accessible resort in Southern Ontario, particularly for those travelling from Toronto and the GTA. The village at the base receives consistent praise for its atmosphere, dining options, and additional activities beyond skiing. Reviewers repeatedly mention that weekdays offer a much better experience than weekends, when lift queues become significantly longer and crowds impact enjoyment. Snow conditions are variable, with artificial snowmaking maintaining coverage but reviewers frequently noting icy patches and limited natural powder. Pricing is a common criticism, with many users stating lift tickets, food, and accommodation are expensive relative to what the resort offers compared to larger destinations.

Decent ski resort, but gets really crowded at times. Can be difficult to justify the cost because of this.

Sometimes you get some great ski conditions; other times there is almost now snow. Pretty crowded, and longer lines for parking and lifts on the weekend: this is the resort closest to where I live.

For skiers and boarders based out of Ontario, Canada there really aren't any other options for skiing besides Blue Mountain. As a result, Blue Mountain can get quite overcrowded on weekends. If you live in the GTA, there are smaller resorts nearbye, but they are typically private clubs, with very small terrain. Blue Mountain, has the largest elevation in Ontario, and the most runs so it is the best option in terms of terrain.

Great experience! Went with friends, they have plenty of activities not just for ski and snowboard. Would come back.

Blue Mountain is great for Ontario where there is very little elevation. It has 43 runs, with various terrain. If your looking for powder you're in the wrong province. The village is a great place to stay, ski in and out and just about everything you'd want in a culinary sense. They have onsite groceries, liquor store and they even have a cannabis store located in the village. The biggest downfall, it is so busy and they bus people in front the city. Go midweek to avoid the crowds.

Hills are mostly steep and often very icy. Can get quite busy on weekends and filled with lots of families. Bar options in the village are okay and the food is pretty good. Beavertails on the top is the best part but should have more things like that

Collingwood is a quaint little town, we stayed in blue mountain village, I would recommend that for the full authentic experience. Not comparable to European ski towns (to what Ive seen in photos, Ive always wanted to go!) but its the closest weve got lol!! Good bang for your buck

I recently visited Blue Mountain Slopes in Ontario, and while the views were beautiful, I was disappointed with the overall experience. The slopes were overcrowded, and the lift lines were frustratingly long. The staff seemed overwhelmed, and the snow conditions weren't great, making skiing less enjoyable. The resort has potential, but I expected better for the price. Would consider other options next time.

Resort's amenities, such as comfortable accommodations, delicious dining options, and a lively après-ski scene makes this place a regular trip if you live nearby. Calm but fun slopes and not too busy.

Im a local and it is a very good hill for weekdays and weekday nights when its not busy. They are definitely trying to make up for the season we had last year. But it is annoying that they have the snow guns on most of the time. I know they have been short on groomers recently, so they sometimes dont do an afternoon groom. The runs are nice and the char speeds are good.

Best hill in Ontario - but not comparable to mount tremblant or the skiing out west. Become too crowded in recent years.

Best hill in Ontario. Super expensive and doesnt have good value for the money spent. Much better off going to Quebec or out west if viable

Lots of beautiful runs, and lots of things to do when not on the hills. Great time all around. We had a wonderful time on our three day getaway.

Blue mountain is a decent option for Ontario skiing. The level of trails offered is fairly represented by the chair you decide to go on. Unfortunately, due to the geographics the runs themselves are not very long. Queue times can be quite overwhelming during the weekend on and off the mountain, but Im sure this isnt unique to Blue.

Blue Mountain is a good place for beginners and Blue terrain skiers. The trails marked as black would be considered a Blue run in Utah. So, there's not many difficult runs. You can go down quite quick, but compared to other Ski resorts in the area, like Glen Eden and Chicopee, Blue Mountain is way bigger and has lots more trails. The view from the top of the mountain is beautiful. The village is also nice, with many restaurants and stores, and is usually nicely decorated. Everything there is overpriced though.

My family and I have been going to Blue Mountain for years that it has become a tradition every winter. Snowboarding is always the highlight, but honestly, weve grown to love everything about the resort. We know the accommodations like the back of our hand now, and its just such an easy, fun getaway. Even my parents get in on the action with cross-country skiing, which is nice because its something we can all do together. I love it so much that I started bringing my friends along too, and now its turned into this bigger tradition. Every trip is a good time, and it just never gets old.

Blue Mountain Ski Resort was/is a mixed experience. The slopes are short and ski lifts are overcrowded due to its proximity from Toronto. However, the vibrant village and dining options are a standout and the overall atmosphere is family-friendly.
