What Skiers Say About Blue Mountain Resort

Blue Mountain is Ontario's largest ski resort, located within two hours of Toronto, and attracts a wide mix of families, beginners, and intermediate skiers alongside some advanced riders. Reviews consistently mention efficient lifts, well-groomed runs, and a lively village atmosphere with dining, shopping, and après options. However, the resort faces recurring criticism for weekend crowds leading to long lift lines, frequently icy conditions rather than powder, and high prices for tickets, food, and accommodation relative to the terrain offered. Advanced and expert skiers note the limited vertical drop and short runs compared to true mountain resorts, though many acknowledge it as the best option in southern Ontario. Several users mention good snowmaking infrastructure but warn that conditions deteriorate quickly under heavy use.

Blue Mountain is a one-sided hill rather than a mountain but in Ontario it is the best we"ve got! Accomodations are a-plenty and food options are various. Plus the town if Collingwood is also a nice visit with grocery stores, more restaurants, breweries and cafes and a short drive from Blue. For a nice weekend away (hot tubs are prevalent!) it's worth the drive!

I worked a ski season at Blue Mountain resort. It was less of a mountain however I got to know the runs like the back of my hand so they were fun to race down with friends. There were a lot of pow days, and good tree runs. Slopes weren’t overly crowded with me sometimes having them to myself. It is good considering it’s East Canada, the locals love it.

I was a beginner with my friend there but it was still fun. I had a bad fall there and the ski patrol was really helpful to me.

One of the best ski hills in the area, but nothing great. Great village with places to eat, go out, shop, and things to do for non skiers

Lift tickets are getting way too expensive for what you get. Prices similar to much bigger mountains where you get better skiing/boarding.

Beautiful ski resort. Lots of apres-ski. Easy to get to. Hills are groomed, but because they're busy, can get icy. They also have night skiing

It was good. A classic ski hill in Canada that’s good for beginners but would not recommend going in the weekends since it gets busy.

Blue Mountain has been around a long time. Probably the best in Ontario but isn't a mountain. It's a fun place, little expensive these days given it's not an actual mountain.

Great local mountain with lots of terrain to explore. Not very tall, but lots of variety. Has steep pitches, awesome glades and 2 terrain parks.

Blue Mountain Resort in Ontario, Canada is Ontario's closest (to me) and biggest resort and hill in the area withing 2 hours of driving. I love the terrain and village life. Reminds me of a mini Whistler. They always have great ski conditions and the hill is well maintained. There's always events and something going on in the Village. Live music, events and great bars, restaurants and shops. It's a great place to be in the winter with your friends. Definitely would recommend if you want something local and in the area.

Resort is super nice, but it’s over crowded on weekends. Overall a good experience and good value.

The village atmosphere was lively and fun, with lots of dining and après-ski options, which made the overall experience even better. Rentals and ticket pickup were organized, though lines can get long during peak times, so arriving early definitely helps.

Great experience! Went during the big snow storm that year and it was much quieter than usual. Biggest public hill in Ontario and great place to practice before going out of province.
