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 a fantastic resort. Unfortunately, the pricing to enjoy all its amenities is a lot for a group who wants to experience it all. Additionally, their apres at the top of the hill is super cool and should be utilized more. It definitely has a lot of potential and should have events up there with an actually dj. I think every Saturday they should get a dj up there to bring in a crowd!

Frequently visited on school trips several years ago. Not much elevation and is on the smaller side. Went in February and often had more grass, slush, or ice than snow to ski over. Can be a fun hill if its a cold enough season to keep the snow. Nice accommodations, shops, and food.

Decent size ski hills for Southern Ontario and a great village area with restaurants and pubs. Not a bad resort at all.

Blue Mountain is a very beautiful resort, and an amazing place for skiers and non-skiers alike.

For skiers, there are a variety of runs for all ski levels. The views are breathtaking, and the quality of the runs are amazing. It is very well maintained, and very efficient. The pricing is also not too bad.

For non-skiers, there are many other activities available at the resort, including skating, snowboarding, hiking, and zip lining. There is also lots of shopping in the area, so theres plenty to keep everyone busy and entertained!

The dining and hotel options are also amazing. There are restaurants of every kind, from world class to casual, and treats to enjoy after a long day of skiing. The hotels are all very well priced and very comfortable and well run.

During the day is really nice, not to crowded which makes the slopes more enjoyable. Around 3pm it gets a little busier, but still ok. They have several slopes for every level so you can enjoy different rides within the same level range.

Good small resort two hours outside of Toronto. Very busy on weekends and expensive lift tickets without a season pass.
Accomodation is pricey especially on weekends. Nice village with restaurant and bar options.

I went for the first time for a lesson. The resort/mountain is very pretty, but I was very nervous. The general staff and my instructor were very friendly and put my nerves at ease. Despite not snowboarding a lot during my lesson. I had great fun and being at this resort really made me want to go back. I did only go for the day but the accommodation looked very clean and cozy.

Pretty average ski resort, lots of hotels and restaurants directly at rhe base of the mountain but no real apreski vibe going on.
Lifrs were fast and never had to wait too long but the moutain is also kind of small. Gret view from the top though.

This is a great, family friendly option. The two downfalls are of course over crowding and if there is snow. As of Dec 26th, 2024 there is a good amount for the start of the season, but with warmer weather hitting by the 30th, and rain, we will see what is left for January.
Make sure to purchase your ticket online to save a little money. Have a look at the maps of the runs you want to ski before you pick a parking lot. There may be some connecting runs open to get you where you want to go. Ill be going back with my family..weather permitting!

Blue Mountain is likely the best you're going to get if you live in Southern Ontario. It's the biggest hill within a day's drive, and boy do they make sure you pay them well for it.
Despite their ski village being so commercialized, very little investment has been done to the hill. They are still using old 6-8 person lifts, and high temperate snowmaking guns. They are consistently outclassed by smaller hills nearby in this category.
Overall, for being a ski hill in Ontario, it's a perfectly serviceable hill with enjoyable runs. Ownership by a multinational conglomerate will always result in high prices and low investment. I urge management to put some of their earnings back into the hill, which would improve snow conditions in Ontario's warming winter climate.

Its expensive if you dont plan ahead, so try to get your equipments, your seasonal pass. The transportation is alright if you know how to drive, since the public transportation is kinda expensive and will take longer to get there, you also have to pay fees for oversized luggage.

Medium sized hill, great for snowboarding and learning to ski. Not good for advanced skiers due to the lack of vertical.

Blue Mountain is not a big mountain but for local Ontario skiing/snowboarding it is pretty decent. It has a great ski village for apres ski and recreation besides skiing. Conditions can be a hit or miss depending on the weather that season - definitely not powder conditions. Overall good resort for basic skiers.
