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.

The Blue Mountain ️ resort was an amazing experience and I quite enjoyed skiing on their freshly maintained terrain in the cold Canadian winter. Also, they have a student rate which is quite beneficial for those age 18 to 24 that are enrolled in a post secondary institution.

Blue Mountain has a great mix of things to do and places to relax, with nice views and plenty of activities. The village is nice with great shops and dining, and accommodations range from comfy cabins to nicer suites. The staff is friendly, and while it can get crowded during the busy seasons, the overall experience is still really good. A perfect place for everyone and would highly recommend.

Celebrated my birthday at blue mountain and had an awesome time. Tons of runs to chose from even taking you to different parts of the mountain which was fun to explore. Loved hanging around the village when breaking. Also 6$ Caesars on Thursday was awesome. Overall great experience on the hills and not overly crowded

Lots of hills to choose from but very busy and short runs. Lots of restaurant options and you can grab beaver tails at the top of one of the lifts. Lift lineups can get pretty long on weekends.

Blue mountain looks so pretty, even the village was a good place to stroll around after shredding. Its a bit pricey on my side but it is a good area to do snowboarding. I had my own equipment so I did not have to go through the rental, but it the area seems busy especially after a thick snowfall.

Blue Mountain has great terrain with the most ski runs in Ontario. Most lifts are high-speed allowing lots of runs per hour. The village has lots of great restaurants and options for accommodation, but you can save a bit of money staying/eating out in the nearby town of Collingwood. There's plenty of activities on-resort for the whole family.

The only public hill in the collingwood area, crammed with novice skiers wth no real concept of on hill etiquette. Good snow making, decent bar scene, decent food and retail. If youre up early on a Monday to Wednesday - you can find decent first tracks. Start at the north end, quieter, more advanced hills

For the limited options in the area, Blue Mountain is likely the best resort close(ish) to the GTA. I like their ticket system, which allows you to access lifts for 8 hours from your first lift entry - so I dont have to worry about missing the first lifts of the day. Theres plenty of runs open for night skiing, and the Village looks pretty from the top when its lit up. The snow machines were on all day both times I was there recently, so less ice/rock patches, which was nice. However, the machines do leave goggles quite icy, impacting visibility significantly as the day goes on. I was impressed with the amount of runs to choose from. Some black diamonds do have steeper parts, but nothing too challenging. You cant compare anything in Ontario to the Rockies, but for what you get, BM is alright. Ticket cost goes way up on the day of so I would recommend getting them online at least the day before. Still pricey but when you dont have many options you take what you can get.
