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.

Icy due to ice coast conditions. No powder experience. They groom well. New artificial snow guns and lifts this year. Well maintained. Most popular in Ontario. Small compared to the big mountains. Bit best in Ontario.

Great place for snowboarding and year-round activities. Good snow making and tree runs. Nice scenery, well maintained facilities, and plenty of dining options. Can get busy during peak times, and prices in the village can be steep.

Every time I've been to blue I've had a blast. The runs are nice and wide with lots of room for everyone and there are plenty of side hits to get air off of.

Early-bird 5x7 pass makes midweek skiing on quieter hills a great deal. Ikon passes also accepted. Wide range of steepness and many high-speed chairs. Can be busy on weekends with newbie skiers on green runs. A great place for learners with lots of lessons and rentals available.

The resort offers alot , the parking is well organized to start. The amenities that come around the resort are amazing.

Great eats ,with multiple different restaurants in the village they also have a bunch of differentshops to get more gear , they even have a spa if your looking for relaxation.

The lodging is of all different types which is nice variety of what you and others can afford

The hill itself have multiple different classes of runs and terrain parks , from beginners to a couple double diamond tree runs , they have 4 different lifts that are all timely, updated pass scanning for quick access to the lifts .

They event hold events if you'd like to challenge yourself.

It's not to far away from the bigger cities which is nice , even if you are further away it's a beautiful drive

Overall I give the resort a 7.9/10 , reminds me of a mini whistler and it's village

Blue Mountain Resort is a decent getaway spot, but it left me with mixed feelings, which is why I gave it a 3-star review. The location is beautiful, and the surrounding views of the mountains nice but far to be breathtaking. The variety of activities available, like skiing, hiking, and the zip-lining options are decent and caters to different preferences, but the execution left something to be desired. For instance, while the skiing trails were well-maintained, the wait times for the lifts were far too long, cutting into the actual time spent on the slopes. The accommodations were comfortable but not exceptional, and the cleanliness was hit or missour room had a great view but needed more attention to detail, like properly vacuuming the carpets or restocking toiletries. The dining experience was similarly underwhelming. While there were multiple options, the food quality didnt justify the high prices, and the service, although friendly, felt a bit disorganized during peak hours. On the plus side, the staff was polite and tried to address concerns promptly, but overall, the resort seemed a bit overwhelmed during our stay. For the price, I expected more consistency and a smoother experience. Its a good place to visit if youre in the area, but it falls short of being a must-return destination.

The resort overall is fairly good, main issues are long lift lines due to slow or broken lifts and many runs are closed all season. However, when all is open the experience is great, night skiing is done well and most of the lodging is very nice and accessible. The village is also well done and has many options to provide for a full days worth of activity

Blue Mountain is just a beautiful place to go with your family or friends. I love the variety of trails and the size of them. The only thing I could dislike is how busy it gets, but apart from that there aint much more.

Blue Mountain, while crowded is good for beginner riders.

Almost all of the runs are the same. Too crowded and full of people who think they know what they are doing both skiers and boarders yelling From behind for you to move out of the way. Way too expensive for what it has to offer. The village is more appealing than the skiing. I would go there if it was free and even then I would not make the time to go. I would have to have nothing else going on. It is unfortunate because Blue mountain used to be a nice place to ski.

Blue Mountain is a great all rider level resort. With all the high speed 6 person chairlifts, the lines move really quick.
There is lots of terrain which allows for progression from beginner to advanced riders, including a great terrain park.

The village at Blue has a lot of excellent restaurants, with a variety of choices. There are great stores for shopping, from snowboard gear to glasses to spas to high end clothing.

There are 6 hotels, 5 in the village, including the Westin, and hundreds of condos.

Cant express enough what a great vacation experience Blue Mountain is.

Honestly, depends on when you go. Loft tickets can be over priced at times. If you're getting food, the chalet is way overpriced for the ok food you get, ride over to the village, the food there is great, or just beaver tales at the top of silver bullet. Trails need groomed more often and need to be left open if they become a powder run instead of being closed. Park is fun, but has been better in the past. Mogals are never intended, just slopes badly maintained sometimes. And glades should be marked better.

All around, it's a good hill for in Ontario, but it's also a hill and not a mountain. So you get what you expect with that.

If you go on the right days, it's a pretty good place.

Great place to Ski in Ontario, Canada
The Blue Mountain Village is a great spot to grab a bite to eat and/or some drinks with friends, with lots of options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although the prices in the village are quite expensive, all around always a great time at Blue Mountain.

The only reason the rating's not higher is the mountain's quite small.
Runs would be roughly 400-600m.
The winter village is quite nice, there's two good dinner options, a bunch more options if you eat earlier or snack.

Blue mountain is good resort for Ontario, with a spectacular ski village. It can be really busy on weekends, but during the week is pretty free flowing. When the conditions are good, it's a great way to spend the day, on and off the mountain.
