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.

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

Family friendly. Groomed hills can be icy. Terrain park is great for kids both skiing and boarding. Weekends are extra busy.

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!

Honestly an overall good resort. on weekdays (day and night skiing) the slopes are decent, well groomed and not too busy, obviously a little more chaotic on weekends. the lift lines arent too bad and they are also usually always making snow which is nice.

Beautiful wide runs and plenty of them, all coming down the sides of a wide flat topped hill resort. Lots of choice for various skill level, excellent lift network and ample car parking

I travel about 3 hours to ride Blue Mountain and Id say its worth it. It has gotten pretty pricey since COVID but what hasnt these days. I only go about once a year so its worth it but it you went every weekend without a seasons pass it would add up QUICK.

The runs are amazing when the snow is good, if its the fake granular snow you can expect giant mounds all the way down the hill from people stopping.

Food is pricey and very average in the chalet but there are tons of different options in the village. And the village itself is very nice and worth just walking through.

Overall its a great place to snowboard and ski, its just getting hard to justify the drive more than once a year since lift tickets have gotten so pricey!

Learnt how to snowboard here! So will always be special to me. But probably one of the worst mountains in Canada for the price. East coast skiing!

Worth it to shred if you can go during the week when it is less busy. It's incredibly busy on the weekends. I was an Alberta skiier trying to find somewhere near Toronto, and was pretty impressed with Blue. Definitely the best Ontario hill I've been to.
