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.

runs are really choppy, lots of dug up snow and bumps that make it very difficult to pick up any speed without being sent flying. RARELY if ever groomed properly. lift lines are usually very fast, never waited longer than 5-10 mins. lots of options for dining and drinks. not many organized afters, let alone actually fun ones. there are pubs in the village you can go to though

The best ski resort in Southern Ontario. Highest vertical, most lifts, biggest village, most hotels, most restaurants. Grooming done twice a day, even has night skiing. Monday to Friday not crowded but on weekends too popular. Extensive snow making assures excellent snow coverage.

Love the village here and the bus services. Very busy though, especially on main lifts. Only one or two green runs so newbies might not get much out of the mountain. But advanced skiers might find it too easy also.

Not bad. Med team outdated. Very costy services . Yearly pass recommended . groomers usually are doing good job. All in all friendly underpaid though personnel. Drinks and coffee in generally low quantity and quite expensive for what they're really offering.

Runs are very well groomed, though skiers are not very friendly towards snowboarders. Once on the chair lift a skier was bashing snowboarders with me sitting right beside her. And on a second occasion, a skier purposely run into my friend (who was in his 60s), after missing me.

Super friendly staff, okay prices, quite a bit more than skiiing in Europe but to be expected. Stuck mostly to the groomed trails. Lines were okay the weekend I went but many people said it was a quite weekend compared to most

I've always had a great experience coming here ! When conditions are good and there's lots of snow it's a fun welcoming place to snowboard. Been coming here for years :)

We always go to Blue Mountain for the night skiing and really enjoy ourselves! Slope are well maintained and staff is friendly. Some lines can be long during peak season but they are managed well and move efficiently. We enjoy our time at Blue Mountain and have been returning visitors for the past few years!

Good hill for Ontario.

Can get very overly busy which makes it unpleasant as the chairlift waits are long.
Best to go on weekdays.

The village is ok. Overpriced but nice for a beer apres.

Blue Mountain delivers a dynamic and lively experience, with long, rolling runs that feel great for carving and a mix of terrain that keeps both skiers and snowboarders engaged. The vibe is more energetic than relaxed, with a bustling village at the base offering cozy après-ski spots, lively bars, and better food options than most Ontario resorts. While weekends can bring long lift lines and some icy patches, the combination of varied slopes, a fun terrain park, and a social atmosphere makes it an exciting destination for both casual riders and those looking for a full ski trip experience.

The village is beautiful and when every run is open, there are so many different places to go. Its always busy since blue is super popular which might take away from the experience.

This place is one of the biggest rip offs you will find anywhere in North America. I have skied & snowboarded all over North America & even in Europe, but this place is one of the most expensive you will find while delivering horrible to zero value. It's basically a small hill formed out of the escarpment with almost zero diversity in runs, it's always overcrowded & way over priced for a lift ticket as are the accommodations, all the restaurants & any amenities. The place is a complete joke. Doller for dollar it's even worse.

And the customer service could care less about helping you with your issues or concerns.

The final straw for me was when Covid was on you couldn't get passes to guarantee you a lift ticket for a given day so I purchased a 5x7 pass as well as two Double Downs so that I could at least be able to ride, but once the hill closed down for Covid we weren't given the chance of refunds. We had to use it or lose it the next season, but I had a severe injury that year so I couldn't ride. I asked that they give me even resort credit for the approx. $500.00 I had put out that I could use that year for even accommodations & was totally denied. I even asked for a reasonable percentage & that was denied too. It was the only place throughout all of the Covid mess that did not offer refunds as I actually had approx. $30,000.00 out there in sporting & concert tickets as well as 2 trips & every single other entity offered complete refunds and/or incentive credits. I actually still have one for a concert venue that they continue to honour all these years later yet the owners/management at Blue Mountain would not honour any of my financial commitment. I used to be a regular for 35 years mostly because it was the closest hill with even their limited vert (720 ft), but I have not been back & won't likely ever go again. Don't waste your money unless you have little other choice.
