The state of the operations and value for your dollar are both so low here, consider alternatives. Expect long line ups, very little service from staff, slow lifts, and an overwhelmed system not properly prepared for loads on peak days. Other notable issues: -lineups for rentals were somewhere between 1-3 hr wait times. Kiss your skiing time goodbye. -Parking lot is so tight that you’ll have to circle and race another person, in the slush, to that open spot two rows over -lineups for lineups (proof of vaccine, lift tickets, the lifts themselves) and poor signage. Photos show the lineups inside and out. -bathrooms are all touch fixtures of every kind, highly out of date and cramped with even a few users at once -Did I mention the lifts are slow and stop constantly? -No children rates so expect to pay $200+ for a family visit -No half day or discounts available, not even a seniors rate? -Night skiing used to start at 5pm, now it’s 2 hours of the worst conditions for 62% of the price -No capacity limits to keep the hill operating smoothly (just pile more people in!) -No ability to pre-purchase lift tickets ahead to time to alleviate lineups

This is a good learning hill. It's small and the lines are long, but it's a good local option without having to drive far on a weekly basis for lessons for the kids. There are three lifts and depending on who is working them, often, each chair is not at capacity (i.e. there is only one or two people on the 3- or 4-person chairlift). I get some people may not be comfortable sharing, but that contributes to the long lines. The staff have been kind and helpful, as my daughter was more advanced than her initial group and the instructors had no problems changing her group. We have our own equipment, so I can't speak to the rental experience, but I see the line-ups are often long. There's a small terrain park that the kids enjoy, and which typically has a much shorter line-up. The staff keep some fires going outside, which is a nice way to warm up the hands a bit in-between runs. Again, it's a good hill to learn to ski, but if you're a regular skier, you'll find the runs short and will likely find a better experience elsewhere. Still, it's a good option to spend a day out with the family.

Great place to learn how to ski. Especially great for younger children who can take advantage of the fantastic learning to ski programs offered at this hill. Best part is that it’s so close to the GTA and offers really convenient access. Basically you can pull up right next to the hill, unload all your gear and get ready for the day. The restaurant offers a really good breakfast at a reasonable price which is perfect for parents waiting on their kids who are enrolled in ski lessons. Highly recommend this place. Good stepping stone before hitting the bigger hills. Gives kids and adults a level of comfort and ability to practice their skills.

Just loved it. Amazing experience we had. Price is a bit on a higher note. But for one time visit it's amazingly fantastic. You have to get you own gear. If not the charge would be like 100$ per person. So you can stay as long as you want. But main thing is that you have to check the weather and go. Before and after 3 days it's better if it doesn't rain. Snow is better. Mind you if it's your first time it will definitely ache you back so gear up with some thick clothes. You will definitely fall trust me. Many times. But it's fun. They will train you for a first couple of mins and you are free to go for your own mountain and enjoy.
