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.

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!

For Ontario skiing Blue Moutain is very good. It gets busy at times so enjoy the company you are with.

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.

Ok for Ontario skiing, although beware the crows at peak hours. Lifts are often updated and we'll maintained however the price of tickets has gone up significantly.....look for early season savings.

Blue Mountain is the main commercial resort serving the Greater Toronto area, and the best hill within 3 hours drive. They have invested a lot into lifts and snowmaking infrastructure, and put a lot of work into their parks and feautrues, all to make up for the fact that it is a small hill. The entire resort is laid out on a ridge, meaning there isn't a huge variety of terrain available, and you could reasonably ski every run in a day. On the bright side, it is great for beginners and families, and it often gets massive dumps of snow from the lake, so if you time your visit, you'll have a magical day. It is overpriced for what it is, because it is the largest resort within about 500 kms of Toronto - expect crowds.

One of the best all around resorts in Ontario. Lift lines can be a little long on weekends but staff keep them flowing well. Village is nice dinning can be busy but if you dont mind eating a little late can find a place

If travelling to blue Mountain stay in the village, some places you can rent right next to the hills. The slopes are ok, its a good place if you live locally ( 2 hour drive max) its a good weekend getaway. Ive snowboarded here many times and always had a good experience.

A small but over developed resort 2 hours from Toronto. Not an actual mountain at all @ 720 ft vertical. It says 43 runs but its more like 12 with a terrain park and a lot of connector trails. Icy with a good view of Lake Huron. Sadly one of the best resorts Ontario has to offer!
