This was just a short relaxing trip for our family. We didn't come to do much more than relax away from home. We did go to Plunge to take our baby for her first swim which she loved. But aside from that we didn't get to do much else because of the rain. We stayed at an airbnb (158 Carmichael Crescent) which was really nice. It is a private two bdrm apt with great amenities such as a big backyard, bbq, hot tub, trampoline, baby swing, etc. The place is well decorated and clean. The master bedroom is big with a king size bed and the second bedroom is great if you have kids. I would definitely come back to this place the next time we are here.

I was at the magic carpet at explorer watching my daughter ski with my wife while on the carpet my daughter had lost her balance and fall the man Jesse was quick to stop the machine and run and help her up as she cried cause she was now scared he reassured her that she was doing great and that even he loses his balance he told her to keep her hands on her knees and that he will keep the machine safe for her she continued to ski until we left and had a great time thank you for being so kind and making my daughter feel like it s ok to fall as long as you get back up we will definitely be back next year just because of that service

My family and I went skiing in the area nearby. The resort is very pleasant, with many areas, activities and shops to explore. I look forward to coming back to it this winter as well!

Something for everyone any time of year.

Great hill with lot's of variety. We hit some bad weather but nothing you can do about that. Value for $ isn't great but that's what you get when you go where everyone want's to be on March break.

The hills are GREAT don't let the 1 star put you off if you want to ski, just watch out for all employees on the hill, they are terrible! Be prepared to show ID and be not allowed on the lift for simply using a flashlight on your helmet. Also even though they sell alcohol you are not allowed to ski after drinking one beer with your meal they will kick you off, and tell you to drink before you drive? Watch out for the liftie Ben and the ski patrol Tom absolutely terrible employees, the ski patrol tried to tell my father (a emerge doctor at Toronto General and trillium in Mississauga) how different biological process worked and failed miserably. Watch out and don't get injured since they have no idea what they are talking about.

Great place for beginner skiers or snowboarders, as the mountain is more like a really big hill. The catch is, if you buy the ski lessons, you ll have about a dozen instructors. If you get a good one, ask a ton of questions, since the bad instructors are close to worthless, or very condescending.

You would expect a lot more to be going on in the village, but you can basically just eat and drink at over priced restaurants. I don't blame the stores and restaurants, the rent is probably crazy. But I would expect there to be more activities put on by the resort to draw people in to support them. Just disappointing.

A bit short staffed but overall an incredible experience. The employees and resort have implemented perfect social distancing/mask rules and made us feel like things are almost back to normal

Nice visit small village probably only worth going one time unless there's events that compel you to return. Happened to go during Yeticon and was a little extra seeing everyone cosplaying. You can pretty much see everything in the village in 2-3 hours average.

It was fun trip but our condo wasn't fully prepared. one room's vent was blocked so we didn't get warm air which made a room cold. didn't get promised heater either. one of washroom wasn't flushing due to water tank not filling up. Mattress were way too soft. location was good.

Regretting even trying to book a room here for my fiancee,
I wanted to make this a special new year for her by booking a room and hitting the slopes after hearing from some comrades on base that this is the best place to pop the question,boy do I regret it, at least she said yes above everything else!

To start with I tried booking a room online around the end of November for a room anytime between Decemeber 28th and Jan,2nd after the website was giving me many issues with this I called and they(lisa) told me that they only had a frw rooms left as this is their busiest time of year...(which is why I was doing this in november) after holding on the phone for alkost 45 mins the line went dead and I tried calling back again and was connected to someone else who said that Lisa was busy at the moment and I explained she was probably busy trying to book the room I wanted and the rude person on the phone said "Yeah well your more than likely not getting a room for that date as were at full capacity you should have called earlier." When I tried to explain that i was in the process of booking a room being told there was space left the person recused to give me their name and actually HUNG UP!! I waited and called back an hour later and lisa was still not available after waiting 10 mins on hold so I waited a day and the same thing!! Finally after a fifth and final attempt I was told there is no more rooms and asked to be put on a cancellation list and never recieved a call back from "Lisa". Thanks for that. Never the less i decidely got us an Airbnb and that worked out okay and got us lift tickets instead for last night. The amount of people we witnessed falling and getting cars sruck in the parking lot was atrocious! No salt trucks in sight! The stairs we avoided as they looked like death traps and the night on the slopes were horrible due to the weather (by no fault of BM) all in all the village was the best part of our trip the blue and purple lights and amazing food at the Hillside bar was delicious! I popped the question after fireworks ensued and thankfull that worked out. Came all the out from CFB petawawa,Never going to suggest this lodge to anyone and definitly going across the river next time to Quebec!!
Take your memories else where.

Great way to spend the holidays. Gets very expensive though. Very crowded too during the peak seasons. Visit duri g the summer for lots of activities or during winter for skiing and festivities for Christmas.

Nice little area with good views. Not much of a skier or snowboarder so can't comment on those facilities. A few nice little knick-knack shops to walk around and quality food places to chill at when you get hungry.

Went here for my birthday in November. Stayed overnight with my wife... this is perfect place if you need to get away from the city for the weekend or so. It s a good resort all year round.

When is the best time to go.... well it depends if you want to go for skiing/snow boarding (winter), hiking (Summer, Fall and Spring).

Beautiful place. Nice for a weekend. Very touristy so mind the busy crowd season. We don't ski but it was a fun getaway from busy Toronto. Collingwood was nice to stay. Nearby town. 15 min away from Blue mountain. Oh and food is super pricey in the resort area.

Did not get a chance to stay there overnight as I was on a budget. However, the resort and the city surrounding it is amazing. If you go there during winter months, the lights illuminating the city are spectacular.

Visited the ski hill on Jan 10 and my experience was immediately fouled by a rude and abrasive lift operator. I was shouted at about the lift bar not being down that "This is your first and final *insert expletive here* warning.".

This was on a beginner lift line where tolerance should be high. IMO there is no excuse for that kind of behavior from someone that is providing a service. A simple did you see the sign from the employee and a short plain something about putting the lift bar down would have been what I expected.

Near the end of the day as I was chatting with a much more friendly rental shop pro while waiting on a couple friends to finish in the washroom I found out a couple things.

The incredibly small and hard to see for a ski hill signs, think no bigger than a street sign for a residential neighborhood are a common complaint that had not been addressed for as long as the rental shop pro had been working at the resort. He himself with no vision problems could not read them until only a couple meters away. Also after describing what had happened along with the lift it was on and the time of day that the lift operator was likely new and fresh from training.

Some feedback for the owners/operators of the ski area. Most certainly install bigger signs as that would have prevented the entire bad experience. For the training folks/ managers please provide some serious input to ski hill staff about the language and approach you would like to be used when your staff is interacting with paying customers.

For anyone considering this ski hill. Look for other options first. The hill, lifts, runs certainly are at least up to par but it's not something you can't get anywhere else. It's the people that make the difference and in my case it made it a bad experience.

Take what you will from my experience and happy boarding or skiing where ever you go

Nice resort, nothing too fancy but the staff is very polite and welcoming (shout out to Donna from housekeeping who was super nice). The wifi has a max number of devices able to connect (3 for my room I think) so that kinda sucked. The lights for the holidays were cute and the light show was nice - but I do wish it was a bit longer. The variety of food around the resort was good but of course on the pricier side. Beaver Tails is a must have dessert! Banana chocolate is always a great go-to!

Probably the best ski resort in Ontario. Well organized service. A bit crowded. The night skiing could of been extended by 30 min from 3.30 - 9.30 (it is currently 3.30-9.00). Quite a long drive from Toronto.

Great time spent here. Outdoor pool and hot tub were great for the winter season , nice rooms with a incredible view of the mountain, I would say it resembles similarities to B,C sort of feel.

I love it up there! So much hustle and bustle for a small town. Lots of restaurant, entertainment and attractions I don't know why I don't go there more often. It's a great place for the family or to go with friends.

Nice hiking spot! The view from the top is splendid.

BUT dont bring your dog if you want to do activities on the site. They are not really dog friendly even if they allow them on the site...

Not a place for newcomers to get acquainted with the sports, but intermediate and advanced attendees will have fun. Blue Mountain's lessons leave a lot to be desired and the cost of everything is always increasing. If you are familiar with Quebec or BC terrain, it might be a disappointment.

Visited the Bike Park. It's in good shape considering how dry it is. Liftees were nice even though my 29er got a little stuck in the bike tray a few times. Food in the village can be expensive.

Lovely rooms, which come with a kitchenette. We stayed for 7 days and they came in and cleaned our room midway. The room service selection is very weak only microwaveable food (the the pie and ice cream was not terrible late at night). The gym is quite nice as well, fantastic view and there is an outdoor hot tub. Great for families, there s an arcade downstairs and movie nights.

Mostly convenient with many restaurants in the village. Rooms are nice and clean. Kinda crazy you have to pay for Internet access in this day and age. Also a bit of a strange layout and people are told to park in another lot farther away than the parking right in front of the hotel you stay overnight...
