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.

Extremely expensive resort with some nice hills. Eating out will be very expensive and isn't worth it, however with a seasons ticket it's worth it to go several times over the winter. Very family friendly and welcoming with some nice trails (i.e. Bruce trail), but also congested due to its popularity.

Blue mountain is decent for Ontario. But its a little bump compared to resorts in western Canada. There are great restaurants and hotels and its also beautiful in summer and fall. There are a lot of inexperienced skiers there and skiing Saturday and Sunday during days can be sketchy. The night skiing is much better.

A great resort with a selection of runs for all skier and snowboarder levels. Chair lifts are fast and efficient. Beautiful view from top of the hills and the atmosphere is fun and inviting. A great place to go with adults or with a family. The little village below is also great as there are many restaurants and shops to choose from.

The best place to ski in Ontario. The biggest hill in the province. The base village is amazing, it's worth a visit even if you don't ski or snowboard. Great European ski town aesthetic and lots of great restaurants, bars, nightclubs. The Apres Ski is top notch. The skiing can't compare to big mountain skiing but as mentioned earlier the best you will find in Ontario.

Best resort in Ontario. Lots of run options as spread out over escarpment.

Lots of Accommodation and Entertainment and food options being a village atmosphere.
Cant go wrong with Blue Mountain as long as they receive some snow!

Being Ontario's largest ski hill comes with it's ups and downs. Weekends can be quite busy, so be prepared for longer lift line waits.

The village is nice to walk around after a day of skiing, but be prepared to pay a premium.

This year (24/25) they have instituted pay parking at the largest and busiest area..... Not a fan of that.

Overall average facilities. The lifts are alright but there are always lineups and it usually takes longer to get up a hill than down it. The terrain is no e bit the runs are short in comparison to some resorts on both the east and the west coast. Most trails connect but some connections are narrow and awkward. There are accommodations directly by the runs but the prices are on the higher side. There's a small village to explore for food and souvenirs. The best part of the resort is the late hours. It is open for night skiing most of the season so you can get the most out of a day on the slopes.

Solid resort, but nothing out of the ordinary. Solid lifts and runs, gets very busy with short season. Village is nice but pricey for Canadians, will be cheaper for stronger currencies.

I love skiing at Blue. It has runs for every level of skier/boarder. Its a short trip from the GTA, the slopes are well taken care of by the groomers, staff are friendly and there are plenty of restaurants to stop at from one side to the other. Night skiing is super fun and there are way less people on the hill and in line. I recommend Blue to everyone.

When the runs are quiet its nice to go to blue, but it can get quite busy during peak season. Run length and variety is nice, and one of the top places for Ontario

Ultimately... Super overpriced. Drive to Montreal or Buffalo instead. Is very busy, very expensive and not that many runs are open half the time. Just because it's the only bigish mountain in Ontario, they think they can charge the same as out west.

Located 2.5 hours away by car from Toronto, it is the best skiing option available in Ontario. The resort is compact, but enough to have great day. The hills are not very high, which means you can get to the base relatively quickly. Blue Mountain hosts many great events throughout the season, bringing DJs every Saturday. I can't wait to come back this winter!

Overall ok but very pricey and long wait for the lifts. So unaffordable that makes you think if better travel to the USA. So expensive in everything.

Blue Mountain is the one of the ultimate winter escape, offering incredible places to stay and endless fun on the slopes. Whether you are cozying up at the luxurious Westin Trillium House, staying in the heart of the action at Blue Mountain Village, or enjoying a private chalet with a fireplace and hot tub, the accommodations are top-notch! The skiing is just as impressive, with 43 runs for all skill levels, high-speed lifts, terrain parks, and even magical night skiing. Not a skier? No problem theres snowshoeing, cross-country trails, light trails, and the relaxing Scandinave Spa to keep you entretained and relaxed. After a day of adventure, the lively village is perfect for dining, shopping, or après-ski vibes. Blue Mountain is where unforgettable winter memories are made!!!

Blue mountain is a solid beginner/learner hill with approachable terrain. Unfortunately the business of the runs could pose a challenge to new riders, but for Ontario skiing it has good variety of runs.
With a small village at the base of the ski hill, there are plenty of dining and après ski options (and lots of shopping and activities for the non-skiers).
Overall a fine day out, but expect busy slopes, short runs, icy/marginal conditions and very long lift lines.

Great family place to go in Ontario. We dont have much by way of great mountains but Blue Mountain provides some great groomers and lots to do off the slopes no matter your age! Dont forget to check out the breweries in town of if there for a few days, eating a meal in thornbury close by is a delicious addition to the trip!

The ski school at blue was very accommodating for our youngest and now we are getting her ready to chase us around on the slopes!
