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.

I have skied at blue mountain a few times overall it has good skiing with decent runs, and a fun village (lots of family friendly places) that has been built up over time. Main drawbacks is the lines (but the more aggressive runs are quieter) and parking

I had a great time, it's not the largest or most advanced mountain, but the prices certainly reflect that. You get your bang for your buck!

Blue mountain is one of the best resorts in Ontario. Very large ski area. Although can be very busy around the holidays. Very expensive and lots of beginners on the slopes.

Went with a buddy for a 2 day, 1 night ski trip. Didn't break the bank and lots of different food close by. My friend was more of a beginner and it was our first time back on the slopes for the season so we couldn't enjoy the whole mountain together. That being said as long as you're comfortable skiing blues you should be able to travers the whole mountain. Overall was a great time but we definitely should've went somewhere with easier trails to get back into the swing of things.

Blue Mountain is a good option for mid season riding, but early in the season they do t get a lot of snow and dont have much open. its a pretty big hill so theres a lot of quiet runs, theres terrain for all different levels of skiing. terrain park could be better, if youre looking for terrain parks i recommend Mount St. Louis Moonstone.

More of a Hill has quite a few food options and pubs, but is very crowded on a small hill so can get too busy on limited runs

The views were absolutely beautiful! However, I was disappointed when I went to purchase refreshments and discovered they only took credit cards. Thankfully I had a little cash in my wallet! Be sure you pack your credit card when you choose this experience. If you are there in the summer or early fall, take the hike past the gondola. You will love the beautiful views!

I love skiing at Blue Mountain. I am a very beginning skier but I feel very comfortable at Blue Mountain. The ski school teachers are very kind and patient with me. The bunny hills very very well groomed. The lifts always seem to be functional everytime I am there.

The resort offers great dining and accommodations. The shops are high priced but your there for a treat anyways.

Can be quite busy during the season for pass holders. Parking lot tends to fill up quickly. They need more food options.

I have been to skiing at Blue Mountain several times and it has been a wonderful experience each time. Everything I have experienced there is awesome. Being a beginner I have got good support from them. Also its family friendly as well. Go for it if you are a beginner or an expert. You would love it.

Been to Blue to ski and also stay at their resort. The slopes are mediocre, but there's lots to do on site. Rooms are nice and clean. Nordic spa is great!
