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.

Blue Mountain is decent, theres no other large resort on the area so it is what it is. At times the base area is overcrowded.

Aside from a couple of private clubs close by with limited access, Blue Mountain remains the best spot to ski in Ontario. It has the most challenging and numerous runs and the most varied and high quality off slope facilities and activities. Theyve expanded food and drink options to include a fun open air bar at the top with live dj and fire pits and continue to run their ice skating trail up there and their alpine coaster down at the village. I love that theres parking options at the top and bottom of the mountain. It does get crowded on weekends and holidays, but weekday skiing, especially in the morning, is usually lovely and quiet. Their use of snow making equipment during the day is my biggest complaint, but the days when they are not running it are very nice, especially with fresh snow, of course. Start on the north side to get the most challenging runs in early when the slopes are fresh. South side is most family friendly with runs for the whole family including those ready to leave the bunny hills for the first time. This is Ontario, so theres not a lot of glades and mogul runs, but there are a few here. Enjoy Ontarios premier skiing destination, I know I do whenever the conditions are good and I get the chance!

Stay in the village if you can. Many options based on budget and the convenience of ski in ski out. Highly recommend the Westin - pool, hot tub, ski locker access and parking. Great for families to come and go ( we are a family of four with two teens) and easily coordinate apres ski. The ski village has a fun vibe with many options for dining and shops to explore.

Ive been going to blue mountain since I was a child. Love the slopes however one thing that has been extremely difficult is the belt on the first two slopes. The beginner one is so crowded and the line is so long I walk up the slope and reach the top before the belt does.

Blue mountain is the best of Ontario. A great selection of night skiing and enough runs to have a good enough time! More tailored for beginners but definitely good enough for more advanced riders to find some runs

A busy place with good conditions if there has been a snow fall. Tends to get icy but the overall atmosphere of the village with the restaurants, accommodation option etc. Is great. Great for families, couples or singles - something to do for everyone!

Ive been going to blue Mountain since I was a kid and for the most part the slopes are pretty good, but it would be nice to have an Apres and maybe some more tree runs. Also, it would also be nice to have a chalet on top of the mountain as well as at the bottom

Great east coast skiing at BM. They have a lift dedicated to purely black runs only. Lately, there have been a lot of visitors which makes it a busy resort. If you're looking for quiet runs, then suggest you look elsewhere!

Blue is a great resort if you like being seen in snow gear and taking selfies in snow gear. For actual riding, less so.

Went skiing here with a group of friends about 3 days ago. Was not too busy considering start of the season. Very nice blue runs for intermediate skippers + runs that go through trees which I enjoyed. I suggest purchasing lift tickets and rental equipment online to avoid any lines in person. Overall great experience would visit again
