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 ski resort for family and friends. Prices are a little expensive considering how busy the lift lines are. Was disappointed with the apres ski, not the greatest options. Food and drink is quite expensive but there was some good deals at the Cesar bar. Would go back, maybe just at a less busy time

Honestly its a good place to go to for beginners, intermediate and advanced skiing. If you are an expert like myself than you will find the runs small and short. But overall its a good place to ski. 4/5

Blue mountain is a very fun hill, Ive been skiing there all my life and the only complaint is the lift lines. Their runs are often well groomed and there is a great variety from beginner to advanced skier. There isnt a ton of off piste terrain but for a spot in Ontario the mountain does the job of being a good ski spot. I recommend it to anyone looking to try skiing or snowboarding. They have great lessons and the village is full of activities and good food.

Beautiful resort. Like a mini Whistler. Great hotels and restaurants. Very expensive and a little too busy. ( we had to actually wait our turn to go down a run). Fun for a mini getaway or a changeOf scenery. Wouldnt buy a pass here tho. Just too busy!!

Had a great day up there. Very busy on weekends but all lifts were running. As a beginner I found it to have a lot of options for me with good instructors, but perhaps not enough of a challenge for more experienced riders.

Wonderful groomed hills, lots of different trails. I enjoy going during the week since its less busy. The hotel rooms are great, clean and comfortable. We enjoy many different pubs and restaurants throughout the Blue Mountain Village. Family friendly and great for couples.

The ski resort was awesome with a lot of runs. The night time snowboarding was the best with dark runs and a lot of lit run. The employees are very friendly and the locals too

Really chill ski resort good value for money, welcoming environment for families and friends. Different levels welcome however not too much variety in route options and quite chill so may not be the most ideal for apres ski culture

Blue mountain is a good hill for a young child to start out on. Unfortunately its not an actual mountain, it follows a ridge line terrain so all the runs are effectively the same and quite basic. Night skiing is a plus! Fun après in the village!

Love this place, best in Ontario! Have been going here for over 30 years! Always a great time and I stay at the resort most of the time! Night life is great with great food options and live music. Also, enjoy the hot tubs!

As a local to the area, try your best to ride a weekday to steer clear of the crowds and hit up Collingwood (adjoining town 10 minutes from base) for the aprés to avoid the resort tax.

This is a relatively small mountain, but one of the largest in the area. There are frequent lift issues and slowdowns. Runs are typically washed out by afternoon, and due to the area there is rarely (if ever) powder.

Blue Mountain is a great spot for a getaway, whether youre into skiing, hiking, or just relaxing. The slopes are fun for skiers of all levels, and the village has a charming vibe with plenty of restaurants, shops, and cozy spots to hang out. In the summer, the hiking and biking trails are a must, and the views are stunning, especially from the top. Its family-friendly but also good for couples or groups of friends looking for a mix of adventure and chill time. The only downside is that it can get busy during peak seasons, so plan ahead!
