5 of the best ski hills to visit in Ontario before the end of the season
Winter is coming to an end in just a few days, but due to the series of delayed winter storms we've had recently, there's still plenty of time to hit the slopes before they close for the season.
Ontario has a number of great ski hills that cater to all ages and abilities, and with lots of fresh snow and relatively mild temperatures, it's the perfect time to get a few last runs in before the spring.
Here are 5 ski hills to visit in Ontario before the end of the season.
Blue Mountain
As the largest ski resort in Ontario, Blue Mountain caters to all abilities with 42 runs, 11 chairlifts, and 3 freestyle terrains. Lift tickets start around $75 and up for a pass. Besides the ski hills, the resort also has tons of other winter activities to do before the snow melts, including mountaintop skating, tubing, and a great village full of vibrant restaurants and shops to explore.
