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.

Spent this past weekend there and have nothing bad to say about my experience. Definitely do your shopping for food and drinks outside of the village prior to going to save some money when cooking meals at your accommodations.

Been riding at a resort for years. It is one of the best in Ontario, but that isnt saying much

I recommend this resort to beginners and families while I would suggest people looking for more advanced stuff to venture out to Quebec or Vermont if not the West Coast

There are a decent amount of runs but the caveat is they are often only open in the peak season between January and March. Often the full mountain isnt operational until New Years has passed. They are investing more in snowmaking, but Often theres still poor coverage, One positive is that during peak season they perform midday grooming.

With regards to lifts: because of the small footprint, there is no redundancy Between different pods and thus parking. There is definitely a need to upgrade the silver bullet lift Given capacity constraints and reoccurring mechanical issues

Beyond the Skiing and riding itself, The village is awesome and very family friendly.

I think the hill is great for Ontario. It does get busy as it is main option but runs are great. The park is great and has all levels. I would say its a great hill for Ontario.

The hills are epic a little short I'll be honest but you have a couple beers it'll be a gnarly time. The village is a good chill and the beavertails at the top of the hill are unreal. Overall very decent place

Blue mountain is a good ski hill other than it being packed with tourists. This makes the hills vary hard to get that fresh power. But one tip if you like riding through trees its great because most of the tourists are beginners there is just not too many tree runs.

It I got a new snowboard I would love it because I am still rocking the old 1900 one.

Pretty good for snowboarding and skiing. Has a variety of ski slopes and the ski lift is fast and runs quick. Have good views from the top and the snow is maintained really well. There are various food options at blue mountain village. It is a little costly but generally not too bad. It is family friendly. There are also hot tubs and spas that are nice there.

The resort is pretty nice, for ontario.
There isnt much different slopes, and a lot of the runs look the same.
Dont expect too much, its not a big mountain.
Overall skiing there was really fun.

This is the first resort Ive ever skiied at and funny enough the first resort Ive ever got a seasons pass at!! Located in the beautiful Collingwood Ontario sits a gem of a ski resort!! Blue Mountain hosts amazing slopes and plenty of lines to choose! Youre definitely going to need more than 1 day if you want to be able to check out all the spots when its in full season mode! They actually have upgraded their snowmaking abilities this year adding new flood lines that are actually drawn from the ponds located around the resort as it has a connecting golf course that feeds back into the ponds when the snow melts! This is an awesome family friendly resort and when youre done on the mountain you wont be disappointed in all the amazing options to grab a pint or some dinner maybe even do some shopping! This is one heck of a ski resort and its all thanks to the amazing people that run it all!! Blue Mountain for the win!!

Blue mountain is the perfect ski resort for me and my family, it is the perfect amount of time to leave from the city to a nice small town in Ontario, it holds a special place in my heart cus this is were I learned to ski as an adult and everyone was friendly, helpful and wanted you to enjoy your stay, after a hard day of skiing but beautiful views my friends and us went for a bite in town and the village is beautiful and taken care of, our accomodations were 5 min from the mountains, walking distance and it was beautiful to have a fire looking at the snowy mountain.

We have been going back every year it's something we love to do and that we'll keep doing.

Also to finish this review I will be taking my family of non skiers to learn and have fun with everyone.

There isnt many great resorts in Ontario but this is probably the only good one near-ish to Toronto. Great food around, hotel in the resort, plus summer activities. Cons are that its in ontario so we dont really get good powder, and isnt a massive mtn like places in Europe.

Experience was amazing! Everyone was so friendly and aware of my level for just starting making them very understanding of me possibly looking like a fool. I had a lot of help from people to make sure I didnt look like a fool. I would highly recommend coming to this mountain, great service, amazing food, and great members/people there. Highly thinking about getting a membership at this hill

Great for families or friend groups. Lots of places to stay in the village and tons of bars/restaurants for apres. It is very expensive so beware. The hill is usually packed on the weekend during the day but it does die down a bit for night skiing. During the week its usually not too busy at all. Lots to do other than skiing theres a skating loop at the top of the hill and a hill top bar as well. Spas and other activities to do as well. Conditions are weather dependent obviously but dont be surprised if its icy. Overall I always have a ton of fun at blue.

It's a good resort for getting some runs in, family focused, as well as suited for groups to ski and apres. Expensive for the size and how busy it can get.

Friday nights are least busy portion of weekend so take of work a bit early and spring for Friday night. Everyone from Toronto doesn't bother buying Friday night passes.

Blue Mountain Ski Resort in Ontario offers a great experience for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. With over 40 trails and 12 lifts, the resort has plenty of options, including gentle slopes and challenging runs. Its excellent snowmaking ensures good conditions throughout the season. The village area is vibrant, with shops, restaurants, and après-ski options, plus the nearby Scandinave Spa for relaxation. While weekends can be crowded, the resort's size and efficient lift system help manage the flow. Overall, Blue Mountain is a fantastic destination for both outdoor adventure and relaxation.
