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 an overall good place too go, has nice slopes but could have better for the price you pay. Eating there costs an arm and a leg so thats a down side. The chair lifts gives you amazing views so thats a huge plus

Most slopes are icy and not great for beginners. Can be over crowded at times. But it is the best options if you live in south of ontario as there arent many ski resorts nearby.

Great location, everything was right there, the room that we got had a kitchen so it came handy. The place has a hot tub open all year and a pool that is only open in summer. I had a great time there my only complaint will be that they didn't have a blender in the kitchen but everything was very good in general. By the way, the underground parking was only $20 dollars per day.

I learned how to snowboard at Blue. Id listen to Florence and the Machine on my drive up to the mountain on a snowy day and get all warm and fuzzy about those days whenever I hear those tunes come on the air. It was a great place to learn. The hills were well kept and very open on the weekdays. I almost killed myself a few times learning but hey, thats how it goes. The chair lifts are good but Im a horror show getting off one and kids laugh at me. Its got a great view of the lake from up top. Its got a nice beginners hill to warm up the legs before hitting the harder hills. Definitely did a few Supermans when my board caught an edge. Id love to give a rating on the park but theres no chance Id survive in there. Gotta be realistic here. The village is quaint and great for a few Caesars while warming up. The Scandinavian spa is also a very good place to relax. Definitely a good recommendation for an Ontario hill. Cheers.

Very close by but not the biggest resort and there is lots of people. Still a great resort overall. It's also on the pricier side for the area.

Great resort. A little crowded at times but it's a huge mountain that will fill up your whole day. I've stayed here at a chalet and I will say the accommodations were fantastic and decently priced. There are also shuttle busses that take you from the chalet to the resort which makes things convenient. Blue Mountain usually has very good conditions as well. I have been here when the powder is up to your knees! I also learned to snowboard here (transitioned from skiing) and it was a great learning experience.

In Ontario I would say that Blue Mountain would be the best one around. They get the most snow. And most of the runs are usually groomed pretty well.

Resort is nice but can be extremely busy on weekends/holidays so expect long lift lines. Village has plenty of dining, shopping and accomodation options. Grooming seems to be kept up nicely with high speed lifts etc. Terrain variety is great. Great seasonal and special events throughout the winter. Highly recommend.

I learned to ski on this hill, and after returning 10 years later it is still a great place to stay and ski despite the small vertical.

Always a great time at blue, highly recommend for anyone local to try! Parking can get pretty crazy at times but everything else is great. The village is a god atmosphere, staff will answer any questions you have and are helpful, and there are plenty of options for all kinds of riding levels.

Blue Mountain was my first spot. The experiance you have walking through the village towards their runs is a vivid memory filled with excitement. Plenty of amazing runs that cater to all audiences and skill levels! The people working are usually all very friendly and welcoming, Can't go wrong having your ski/snowboard trip here with the family, friends, or significant other!

I am a season pass holder and it is worth the 2hr drive. There are hills closer but dont compare to the variety that Blue has. Night skiing during the week and Sundays are not overly busy. Overall it is a great hill for the value

Blue mountain is the most well-know resort in Ontario. It is located on a lengthy hill called the Blue Mountain. It is almost full of snow during the season, due to the weather condition of the location which gets a good amount of snow during the season. Other than that, there is also snow machines working during the season as well. You wont see much of a slope on the e resort since it is a hill, but it still does the work. As someone who have skied on higher mountains like Whistler and wild mountains of middle east, it was a below average experience, but in general, is does the work and youll get anything you need from a ski resorts, except wild slopes. On a scale from 1 to 10 lll give it a 6/10.

I haven't been in a long time, It's one of my favorite resorts beacuase it's close. Alot of good memories. I also like that when your at the top of the hill you can get spectacular views of Georgian bay.

Blue mountain has a great variety of slope levels to reach everyone from new riders to pros. The village is a great place to hang out throughout the day and after some night skiing. Ive been going here for years and will continue to keep coming. Id highly recommend visiting.

Little expensive but equally fun to be and lots of accommodations nearby.
Bunch of food and drinks option right at the base of the lift . Also good decor for winter with a light up spot at the top of the hill

I really like blue Mountain, it has a lot of runs, with very different feels to each one. The room I stayed in was really nice, it had a tv, large bed, pull out couch, bathroom, and a small but decent sized kitchen. I found it quite easy to find places to eat, as there are a bit of restaurants around the village area. There are a lot of stores, if you want to buy a souvenir, or even buy ski/snowboard equipment. Overall, I really liked my experience at blue mountain, and recommend for people of every skill. The only thing that I didnt like about it was how there was so much walking. To get to different runs, there is a lot of walking, and most of the time it takes forever waiting for a shuttle. That is my only problem with it.
My overall rating is a 8/10.
