Stepping Up to a Real Mountain
For Ontario skiers seeking a thrilling trail that will give them goosebumps — your options are limited. While Ontario’s top ski destination — Blue Mountain — is conveniently located just two hours north of Toronto, it’s a pale substitute for a real ski mountain experience.
Adding Perspective: Blue Mountain vs Whistler-Blackcomb
Compared to Blue Mountain, Whistler Blackcomb boasts:
- 20x the skiable area — 8,000 acres
- 5x the ski slopes — 200 to choose from
- 6x the longest trail — 11km run
- 85” of snow in November!
Despite the name, ‘Blue Mountain’ Ontario’s largest ski resort is a congested hill on the Niagara Escarpment where you’ll spend more time in line than on the slopes. Compared to Whistler Blackcomb, Blue Mountain is to skiing what mini-golf is to golf.
Off The Slopes
There's no shortage of things to do in Whistler, but what really sets the resort apart from the rest is its dedication to exceptional guest service.
