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.

Great spot if youre looking for a decent ski/snowboard experience nearby toronto. Distance wise from the city, its hard to beat. Good runs, when the snow is good its real fun. Lines can get pretty long but nothing excruciating, manageable with a little bit of a patience. Overall on a good day blue mountain is a ton of fun.

Blue mountain is a good place for learners the hills are great for first time and experienced people. Though it always looks snowy a lot of runs are always closed not sure why. Lift speed could be better but due to the fact that blue mountain is the best and only real quote on quote mountain in Ontario you have to expect high traffic especially weekends. Price is expensive but you get what you get with only one big resort in Ontario.

Booked a same day hotel and it was fairly affordable. Town is fun and lifts fun well. Need a bigger terrain park and more tree runs.

I love going to blue mountain! Almost the entire resort is groomed, (sorry for all those who enjoy off piste) and there are some awesome beginner glade runs. The accommodation is top tier, and the food is also amazing. My main words of advice are to avoid holiday weekends (it's very busy) and make sure you grab yourself a beavertail!

Blue mountain is my local resort. The skiing through the week with a good snowfall is amazing. Low traffic and quick too top to bottom access. The resort is very busy in the high season with high ticket prices. The pricing at Blue reflects big mountain resort prices out west with much less terrain and not as ideal conditions. There are a ton of accommodations and food options. The resort is very family friendly with many other activity options other than skiing/ snowboarding. Luck to have this in my hometown.

Ski patrol is very friendly and efficient. The lift operators are very diligent and caring. The runs are semi-long and have decent views. The terrain park is more geared towards advanced riders. Food in the Blue Mountain village does cost quite a bit but a 20 minute drive to nearby towns will save you a lot of money.

Blue is expensive and the blown snow quality is poor. Lines are long and the village is packed. Overall, not a great experience.

Great Resort its proximity to one of the worlds biggest cities but it is inherently.quite a small mountain. You make up for it with a good group of friends and just making the most of it.

I have been going to blue mountain since I was 10. The price since has doubled and the resort has expanded... now there is a village and a acres ski option. Great for youth. If you ski early in the day the runs are great and the lineups not too long. After lunch it gets crowded. Over all its the biggest hill in the toronto area.

Blue Mountain is the most popular hill in Ontario, it is also one of the few ones with an actual ski village at the base so if that is important to you then this is really your only option. The pists are about average and the equipment is ok. To me Blue is more of a resort ski destination than a casual ski for the day affair. My main gripe with Blue is the pricing. (I should note that theyre part of the ikon pass)

Blue mountain is as best as it gets skiing in Ontario. Its not a great hill if you already know how to ski or board, but its good if you have small children whom you wish to teach how to ride. If you only like the terrain park, its okay too.

my overall experience at blue mountain ski resort has been impeccable. i have gone to blue mountain ski resort at least once or twice a year every year for the last 4 years and everytime i go is so enjoyable. It has been a friend group tradition ever since. We love blue mountain and it has ultimately sparked out interest and enjoyment in snowboarding!

Although blue mountain is a little on the pricier side, it makes up for it with great hills and beautiful scenery. Would recommend for anyone.

It was very busy long lines and over crowded. It was very expensive. Will not return. Long waiting at the restaurants and everything was overpriced. It was not the time and money worth.
