Reviews & Tips (3)
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.

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.
