The hills are not that steep it’s good for beginner skiers but more advanced may find it boring and repetitive. They have a nice hotel and spa. They have great snow tubing and other activities off the hill.

Personally found hills rated too low for their steepness. Moving from Beginner hills to Green is a big jump

Good family friendly resort a short distance from Toronto (1 hour drive). Great ski school for adults and children. Mostly groomed runs, with a decent park section. Crazy Horse Saloon, which is the restaurant/bar in the main chalet has a happy hour (2-5PM) with drink and food specials. This is also the location for any apres ski activities (i.e. live bands, etc.)

Decent mid sized resort for South Central Ontario. Not as crowded as Blue and close to Barrie which has may dining, entertainment and accommodation options.

Great beginner friendly hill! Never too busy either which is nice. And having 4 lifts means it’s pretty quick to get back up to the top.

Had a great experience, did both day and night skiing which was great. Value for money was good. Not all chairlifts were open but the ones that were had little to no lines

My family and I would go to Horseshoe valley once a year the hills were amazing and you could still ski/snowboard at night which was super cool. The food was great and when you were done and wanted to relax they had an outdoor heated pool and hot tub or indoor to soak in! We love Horseshoe

Great for beginners and families. Small enough to build confidence and big enough to feel like a full ski resort experience.

Horseshoe resort is a great family friendly hill with lots of nice runs spread evenly across the resort. They also have tubing and skating (weather and conditions permitting) and a spa nearby for all types of activities. Great for day trips or to stay a weekend

it was actually my firstime going to Horseshoe resort this past weekend and was a very enjoyable time. groomed runs were amazing as well as the fast lift times and my favorite the tree runs. For a local ski hill not too far from the city it was very enjoyable and definitely an experience worth checking out for the beginner and even intermediate as well as experienced riders! overall i would definitely recommend horseshoe resort
