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.

Fresh snow, groomed trails for those that were open. Much quieter in the morning, best way to go to Blue! Good mix of runs.

Blue Mountain is more of a hill than a mountain but there’s a good variety of runs. There very few places to stop on the mountain in terms of bars and restaurants, but we have been spoilt by skiing in Europe.
We were lucky that the 2024-2025 season was very cold and they had plenty of snow. They do have late night skiing which was fun. Value for money is quite good compared to other ski locations in Canada. The village gets very busy at the weekends because of all the visitors from GTA

Blue Mountain is the best Ontario had to offer! Reasonable prices in comparison to the rest of resorts, and the biggest hill with the most runs. It isnt like anything in the Rockies or Europe, but I love it all the same!

Largest hill in southern Ontario and tends to be busy therefore can get icy sometimes. Still a ton of fun none the less, especially when you get to the north side of the mountain with mainly black runs so there aren’t as many people.

Can be busy with inexperienced riders. Make sure you are aware. Best place to visit north of Toronto in the early morning.

Louis done a great job in getting ready. They doubled the number of snow guns on every run and have laid down a huge amount of artificial snow to complement the two dumps we’ve had in the last three weeks. All this less than two hours from Toronto!

Extremely expensive for value of money! Lift lines are crazy, poor efficiency loading. Food and drinks are astronomical, $6 for a can of coke is ridiculous.

Blue Mountain is a good starter resort to learn, but busy on weekends, and the runs are short. It will give you the skill set to get you ready for real mountain resorts and proper skiing.

I went to blue mountain last year in Feb, near the end of the riding season. Some highlights include lively village with lots of shops, food and campfires. The runs were icy mainly because it was the snow has melted and froze over night. Some trails has snow and was long and enjoyable. I would say the terrain is for more beginner and intermediate friendly. One of the biggest mountains we have in Ontario and closest to Toronto.

best part about blue mountain is having the ability to go to hot tub after cold day of snowboarding. I think however they can improve by having more snow on the slopes because frequently there are icy parts of the mountain (can be covered up though)

Sadly blue mountain has lost its charm since being taken over by alterra. Expensive, crowded, unfriendly and unsafe. They clearly do not care about rider safety and found their blown snow to be very sticky and dangerous. The 3 people we were with all left injured that day from hitting sticky snow. I got whiplash. Do not recommend blue to anyone, anymore.
