5.Blue Mountain Day Trip Skiing Snowboarding

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 4 reviews · 1 day · from $87Best value

Travel from 10 York Mills Road to Collingwood and Blue Mountain Resort for 5.5 hours of free time. Ski, snowboard, snowshoe, hike, shop, or relax, with guide Diana among the hosts noted for helpful local advice. Rentals, meals, and hotel pickup cost extra.

“The activity was great , our guide Diana was great too , very informative and helpful. The only thing is that if it rains they close mostly all the activity’s except skiing. So if you plan on purchasing the one day ticket ahead of time to do the activities, check the weather forecast frequently and do it at own risk since the park does not do re-funds . Other than that the tour was great on time , helpful, and the Village itself is very nice especially at night with the lights on !”
