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.

Great spot in Ontario generally the best spot in ON to learn to ski/snowboard highly recommend to check out plus you have the option on not staying in the village as the town is close enough. Me n my mates used to drive down from Barrie n back no problem

I come from BC so I was very underwhelmed by the size of Blue mountain. To me, I could barely get my legs warmed up by the time I was done a run, but it was certainly better than no skiing at all!
It is a manufactured snow mini-hill essentially, awesome for racer training etc but not necessarily the spot for big lines.
I had a good time in the park and they had set up some cool features and there was certainly a culture in the park.
The apres ski was excellent, quite pricey but of a high standard

Blue mountain is the best hill you can get in Ontario. Due to this fact it becomes the destination for everyone resulting in over crowding, difficult to get into bars at night, a minefield on the slopes with people of different levels, there is rarely powder resulting in a lot of injuries to newer skiers. Recommend St Louis for newer skiers as it is friendlier and there is separation in skill level.

Also for what you get at Blue mountain the price is very high(130$). Went to better ski resorts for the same price out west which causes me to not understand the pricing. Less runs, lower elevation, long lines, rarely powder.

Night life, hotels and activities around are top notch. If you plan to do a day of skiing it is okay but wouldn't be a destination for the skiing. More for spa and relaxation with family. Skiing is just bonus.

This is a good place to go in Ontario when you are craving a ski but dont want to travel.

It is not a great mountain however. Lots of icy conditions and mud spots. The glades dont get lots of snow which make them hard to enjoy. It is especially difficult when they make snow for the hill when we are on it. If you dont have a face covering it feels like ice shards piercing your skin.

Its a good place when you need a ski fix! But beyond that I would spend the extra money and go to a better option.

The resort is fairly expensive and busy but if you stay away from the main resort and explore the rest of the mountain you will find lots of different trails that will be less busy. Awsome resort and I really like the north end with the steep runs

Pretty solid for what you can get in Ontario. If looking for a serious mountain, you're better off traveling a bit east to Quebec or down to Vermont. If you just want a ski village experience for the family then this really gets the job done.

It was very enjoyable for a cheap price by going on there value dinner deal which helped cut the cost down by a lot. I really enjoyed all the runs such as the. Wonderful terrain park where u could see lots of people hitting insane tricks and cool grinds.
I was also super excited that there were all types of run for each level skier which was really nice to have.overall I found blue mountain a really welcomed and thoughtful place with loads to do for all levels of skiers for a cheap price included the dinner deal wich made a big change in the cost

Very solid resort for a beginner snowboarder. Rope lift bunny hills are a bit crowded for grasping the basica but there are a good amount of easy greens to get a better hold on using your edges and linking turns. Good variety of blue runs with rougher terrain and bumps to smooth steep groomed runs for speed and carves. Aside from the runs, Blue Mountain village houses a plethora of food options (a bit on the pricy side) and social life even throughout late night to early morning.

For Ontario its the best bet, just overcrowded on weekends and weather has made the last couple seasons not great. Village is fun to hang out with friends at, lots of good food options and the mini golf in the summer is killer!

Conveniently located north of Toronto, about an hour and half or two drive depending on traffic, has a great ski resort with lots of slopes to choose from. With season pass it makes it affordable but the daily lift ticket may be a bit daunting for some.

Word of caution however, is that the slopes are rated less than the actual terrain. Some blues feel like it should be black diamonds.

Great uphill loading capacity so while the runs make be shorter you can most certainly enjoy plenty of laps. Great mix of beginner to expert pitch on the groomers. Lacks tree runs due to minimal natural snowfall but has great progression features within their terrain parks.

Large resort with an unmatched selection of runs compared to other ski hills in the area. Great apres ski restaurants and accommodations. Family chalets can be rented nearby. Nothing beats a tough day on the hill followed by a drink and hot tub.

Has a lot of runs, but it is usually pretty crowded and the lines are pretty long. The park isnt the best.
