Blue Mountain Ontario Reviews & Tips (24)
Snow was heavy saturday thus the workout was a little more than expected. Given it was March break weekend lines moved well and 6-man lifts were great.
Would have been great if the Liftopia discount purchase was noted to be in USD and not Canadian - as was assumed... but my bad!

Hence it being called men's week; You are forgetting about the ladies.

This doesn't make sense - prices here are daily 47.38$ while on site they are 45$ for men on March 4-8th as a special available for Coors Lite Week special. This makes the deal irrelevant for around 50% of users...

Skied from 8:45am - 8pm on Saturday. Great first thing as crowds were low. Got very busy mid morning. All the express 6 man lifts very long wait however 3 man lift on South side no lines and good runs from it. Excellent overall first experience. Lift staff very friendly and courteous. Trails were a little chewed up by mid afternoon but groomers out for night crowd. Will definetly go back.

Snow was good and natural a bonus.People operating lifts friendly.
Busy but not extremely on Sunday.
At the resort tickets cost 2 junior kids and 1 adult 2x$52 1X $69 for total $173 CAN. At Liftopia cost $158.41 CAN Savings $14.59 .Taking into account purchase in advance an flex currency exchange is not worth it in my opinion
Lots of new to the sport but without proper training. There is so minimal policing on the hills that it makes it unsafe and yet the resort demands vividly that there is the exclusion of liability on each ticket in extreme yellow. I hope people read clearly that the hills decline any liability and that the holder of the ticket assumes all the risk.

You do not want to go to Blue Mountain on Family day. I went a few years back and it was a nightmare of long waits for lifts. If you love crowds equivalent to New Years Eve in Nathan Philips Square Blue is the place for you on Family day.

ski on Superbowl Sunday - not busy - no line-ups at all at NOrth

Don't come here unless you plan to stay the night. It may be the biggest hill in Ontario but not by much. It's 2 hours away from Toronto, I would much rather go to St. Louis Moonstone which is just over an hour distance and cheaper in price.

Don't stay at the Blue Mtn Inn. The walls are as thin as paper. We had a party going all night and the hotel staff did not end it. Brutal. It's beat up. Stay at the Westin or Mtn Springs. It doesn't matter how big the lines are, use the singles line and you'll double your vertical and your partner is on the next chair. The Liftopia tickets were also good from 9am to 10pm. Don't go to the the ticket window- go to the guest services inside to receive them and you have to go each day-they don't print multi day passes.

we visited bluemountain Jan 13/14 2013. we had a really great time. clean and friendly staff.the blue moutain inn has had a face lift and was quite comfortable. there is something for everyone there.well worth visiting a great tip is try to ski during the week or at least sunday or monday. less line ups.

If you plan to stay, The Westin is fabulous!! Great rooms, helpful staff, views from every room, great food at O & B, year round hot tubs and heated outdoor pool, ski lockers, and almost ski in/ski out.
Happy Hour at Twist Martini Bar in the Village from 4 - 6 p.m. is a bargain, but get there early on weekends.

GO TO THE NORTH...HARDLY ANY SKIERS THERE AND THE RUNS ARE CHALLENGING BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE....
START YOUR DAY ABOUT 10:30 AND BREAK FOR LUNCH AT 1PM MISS ALL THE CROWDS AND HAVE THE HILLS FROM 12-1 TO YOURSELF WHILE EVERYONE IS EATING

You guys are not good at skiing!
Blue Mountain Ontario review written Jan 05 2013 - 08:04 AM
Blue Mountain is a great facility located in Central Ontario, 2 hours north of Toronto.
For those "advanced" skiers who've posted here in the past - if you are an expert skier who wants an aggressive run, you'll know that you won't find that in Ontario. The Niagara Escarpment, which is what Blue Mountain is on, is the highest elevation in central Ontario - not the dizzying heights an aggressive skier dreams of. Best to head elsewhere.
But, if you want a clean and well maintained, and professionally run public ski hill in the GTA, Blue Mountain is a great spot. With a wide array of skill levels, stick to the slopes that suit your level and you'll be good.
Also, don't blame the management for what mother nature does or doesn't give. We all know made snow isn't as good as the real stuff, but if the weather isn't cooperating, then resorts have to make it to rise to the demand of the public. When you need a 'ski fix' you'll take what you can get.
Just chill on the hill....relax and enjoy the beautiful view of Georgian Bay on your way down, and the good natured lift-people on you're way back up.

I went on January 21st, which was not reading week nor family day weekend. Granted, it was one of the first good snow days in Ontario. I realize Collingwood is the best local choice for the GTA, as previously mentioned. It's just too bad we have to squeeze such a large population on the hill. This is no fault of the resort though, and they do a great job of keeping runs groomed throughout the day. My original point still stands, if you're looking for more a more difficult run (glades, chutes, backcountry), you might consider the 7hour drive east to VT/QC/NH/NY/ME. If travelling isn't an option, our local hills will suffice.

@madhatt:
If you don't like lineups, then you should have stayed away from Blue on a weekend that was: 1) the first good conditions all winter 2) family day weekend 3) the start of reading week. It was pretty much guaranteed to be busy.
Vermont is 550km from Toronto. I would say that most people who go to Blue aren't considering Vermont, Quebec, or anywhere else... it is just too far.

Considering the horrible winter Ontario has endured, the grooming and snow making staff did an excellent job. No lines at all, and pick an area where there aren't an abundance of skiers (easy to do) and the day will go great. Eating at full service restaurants not much more than at main stations, less crowded and quieter.
Blue Mountain Ontario review written Feb 16 2012 - 07:23 PM
This past weekend reminded me why I drive to Vermont or fly to B.C. to ski. There were constant lift lines from 10am - 10pm, mediocre snow conditions, super icy areas. The hill is extremely overcrowded with newbie skiers, who are unpredictable and leave you swerving and dodging to avoid injury.
Quite frankly, I felt more at risk of injury here than I did in the glades at Revelstoke with the potential of slipping on ice or nearly getting run over by riders out of control.
To conclude, Blue Mountain is still the largest and likely most challenging public hill in Ontario. The only comparable hill would be Holiday Valley in Western New York. If you do head to Blue Mountain, make sure you keep well aware of your surroundings. If you're an advanced skier, consider driving the extra few hours and go to Vermont.

yes i would go again

If you are staying overnight, stay at Mountain Springs. They are ski in ski out on the north side and you can take a free shuttle to the village. All units have kitchens, so pack a cooler. Get up early ski the north! Also do some night skiing, gorgeous views.
