No Ski? No Problem

It’s true, our resort is best known for downhill skiing and snowboarding. Many of our guests join us on the slopes during the winter, but there are other ways to achieve outdoor adventure without having to buckle up your ski boots or strap into a snowboard. Whether you’re coming for a slope-side vacation, or just here for a day trip, you can fill your day with plenty of activity!

Making the Most of a Day Visit

Blue is an easy day trip from the Greater Toronto Area, so why not load up the car with your nearest and dearest and make the scenic drive for some outdoor fun.

When you arrive at Blue, start out at the Blue Mountain Village. A stroll through the streets on your way to the slopes will get you into the winter spirit. Stop by Starbucks Coffee Co. for a beverage and warm up by the Village Plaza firepit while you take in the activity of the resort.

Next, head to Activity Central for some Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster tickets. Whether you go fast, or slow, the Ridge Runner in winter is an experience you can only get at Blue Mountain. While you’re in the area, be sure to explore Canopy Climb Net Adventures for the most fun you’ll have bouncing and climbing above the slopes!

To keep the downhill momentum going, walk across the bottom of the mountain towards the Westin Trillium House, where you’ll find Hike N’ Tube. Even adults will feel like a kid again when you slide and spin your way down the snowy tracks on your own tube!

When you’re done, take some time to stroll around the Millpond boardwalk on your way back to your vehicle. You’re likely starting to feel hungry, but your next stop is up to the top and some BBQ with a view at the new Off-Piste Après Garden. Located at the top of the waterfall ski trail, this outdoor patio covered by three large dome tents provides an outdoor après experience overlooking Georgian Bay.

After you’ve fueled up, head to Woodview Mountaintop Skating for some laps on the 1km loop. If it’s getting later in the day, the skating loop is illuminated with thousands of lights from the Agora Path of Light making a truly beautiful evening experience.

With your fresh air level at full, you may be ready to head for home, but if the fun just doesn’t want to end, you can always go to one of our hotel front desks to see if there are any available rooms for the night. What could be more perfect than your day trip turning into an overnight?
