Blue Mountain Resort
Blue Mountain
Ontario's largest ski resort, with more than 40 runs on the Niagara Escarpment overlooking Georgian Bay. In summer there are mountain coasters and open-air gondolas.
Blue Mountain Resort sits on the Georgian Bay side of the Niagara Escarpment, with a vertical drop of about 220 metres. It has more than 40 ski runs and over ten lifts, and is the top choice for Torontonians on winter weekends. Night skiing is popular. In summer and autumn it operates the Ridge Runner mountain coaster, the Open Air Gondola (most popular during the October fall colours), mountain biking and high-ropes courses. Buy lift and activity tickets online in advance, as weekend prices are higher. The drive from Toronto takes about 2 hours, and there are round-trip ski buses on winter weekends.
Opening hours
Ski season approx. 08:30–21:00; summer activities approx. 10:00–18:00
