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.

Super close to Toronto, but far enough away to make it feel like a weekend away. Perfect spot for beginners just getting into the sport, and casual hills, may not be the best challenge for advanced/experienced people who grew up ob mountains like the rockies.

Get there super early and if possible rent equipment elsewhere. Waiting in the eyes to rent equipment takes at least a hour and a half on a Saturday. Night riding is much slower on the slopes. But again, it takes quite a bit of time to get through lifts and rentals. Snow hills for learning are quite busy. Making it hard to learn but if you can get the courage to hit other hills you’ll have a chance to gain better speed and avoid accidents. The village is nice and Rusty’s is a great time when there is a dj playing. Took forever for conveyors and lifts, made it unencouraging to go.

It’s a great place to visit from Toronto - diverse runs for all, lift lines on weekends can be long. Show up early and get the most of the day!

Great place to go but not a great place as a beginner. Their bunny hills are perfect but as soon as you go to the next hill, it’s day and night. Much steeper and icier. Definitely could not “pizza” the entire way.

While Blue Mountain is a small ski hill in Ontario Canada it attracts a large crowd mostly consisting of tourists and families.

Due to its location there aren't many powder days in a given season but most runs tend to be well groomed. There are a good variety of runs from beginner to black diamond, although the more advanced routes don't really match up to big mountain skiing.

Beginner - Intermediate runs are busy and there is often a long wait at the main lifts.

Off Piste + Glades - There are some opportunities to leave the trail, cut through the trees and possibly even find some fresh tracks, however due to the smaller size of the resort there are not a lot of these opportunities.

Terrain park - Gets the job done and usually has a few neat features to enjoy.

Ticket Prices - expensive for what you get.

Ski School - Adequate - only experience was with a toddler who made good improvements over only a few sort hours

Ski Rentals - Inefficient, slow + expensive. lost several hours waiting in lines to pickup and size equipment properly. Shortage of seats to get ready. Minimal storage options for personal belongings.

Lodging - lots of accommodations, including ski in/out, village lodging, nearby cabin or condo rentals, etc. Options in the village are often expensive and not well kept but offer a good amount of space for small families or groups. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of gusts that come to Blue Mountain all season the resort gets away with high prices and low quality regarding their accommodation.

Food - Not many good choices food in the village. Most, if not all, options are expensive and poor quality. Great opportunity to put in better quick serve and high-end dining options. Unfortunately, due to the large volume of gusts that come to Blue Mountain all season the resort gets away with high prices and low quality regarding food options.

Night Life - It's been many years since enjoying the nightlife at Blue but I would guess that a good time can be had, especially on weekends.

Family + Other Activities - There are a lot of options for families of all sizes. There is relatively easy access to snowshoe, crosscountry and snowmobile trails, tubing, indoor/outdoor heated pools, shops, spas, etc. There's usually entertainment in the main village square and Blue often hosts ski, music and other events that attract good crowds.

This is mountains is good for intermediate skiers as long as the snowfall was in favour for the season. It’s a good place to start off and the resort is absolutely beautiful. It’s a great family friendly spot and has a lot of activities outside of skiing that you can attend
