We're Snow Committed
At Blue, we know a thing or two about snow. As Ontario’s largest ski and snowboard destination, we’ve always been industry leaders in snowmaking. Our operation was the first to move to a fully automated system the late 1990’s and continues to be one of the most powerful snowmaking operations in Canada.
While we leverage our snowmaking expertise and do what we can to maintain a sustainable ski resort, navigating the weather and conditions Mother Nature deals us requires us to adapt. We know Blue Mountain is the reason millions of people love winter. It’s where they stay active, stay connected, and make lasting winter memories, and we’re committed to keeping it that way.

Automation Upgrades
Across the mountain, 96% of Blue’s 364 acres of skiable terrain is serviced by snowmaking. There are approximately 750 snow guns including this year's 77 newly installed high temp guns that can make snow in temperatures as warm as -2 degrees Celsius. Starting with some of our highest volume trails, we are progressively increasing snowmaking density with a target of upgrading the entire mountain by winter 2028/29. rich-text, responsive-table
