We had a fantastic first ski at Batawa Ski Hill. If you haven't been skiing before, this might just be the place for you. And it especially is for the kids. They have a First Timers ski package, which my wife and kids took full advantage of. It included 4 hours of skiing and a 1 hour lesson. The only caveat is that the lift ticket is only for the beginner hill, not the chairlift. They do offer an upgrade, which is totally worth the cost if you decide that you've learned enough and can handle the tougher slopes. It's definitely not the biggest hill, so experts be advised that this is not going to fulfill your requirements. That is unless you're working on your jumps or a new skill like snowboarding, which I had the pleasure of trying out and ate snow most of the time. The staff are very friendly. Checking into the hill was quick with only a couple people in line. Getting ski rentals was smooth and once again the staff were friendly and helpful and patient with the kids. They have a pretty decent cafe with a great selection of food at reasonable prices. And don't miss out on roasting marshmallows on the weekend and Wedness hot chocolate. It is a bit of a drive from Toronto, but if you can handle the time, the cost savings for a first time ski or snowboard day are worth it. Have fun and don't forget to wear your helmet.

New Chef David was fantastic, I hope everyone coming to the hill this year tastes some of his new creations!! I am looking forward to the new menu offerings and the take out catering.. having a better selection of culinary delights will help bring in more events and acticities to the Hill... I would like to see theme nights in the kitchen and seasonal produce used wherever possible...the live band and great pub food are a match made in heaven! Chef David brings years of experience teaching culinary arts as well...I would like to see cooking classes and the local high school / college culinary program supply students for practical training and future employment... Batawa Ski Hill has a very bright future and I hope Chef David puts roots down and helps the community grow.

TLDR: Outstanding customer service, Clean facilities, messy slopes (in a good way) 10/10 One of the nicest ski hills I’ve been to when taking everything into account. The inside is EXTREMELY clean, cleanest I’ve seen in a long time. On the other hand the hills get pretty carved up and so it can get messy but that’s the fun about shredding down the hill! Tried rentals (and snowboarding) for the first time and slapped on some rentals. After an hour of struggling and realizing it wasn’t for me I decided to switch back to good ol skis and Niko made the process simple and quick. Customer service wise everyone is extremely kind thoughtful and helpful when catering to the needs of the customer. Will definitely swing by again if I’m in the area.

I've lived in the area 40+ yrs without going to Bata ski hill. I've skied lot of other hills. Finally went last winter with daughter, I was very impressed, and disappointed I didn't come as a kid. They have fire pits outside, decent food, bar service. Hill has some variety between step and gentle runs. small terrain park area. It's great for what it is, a small hill with one chair lift in southern Ontario. Took a star off because they still sell tickets by morning or afternoon time slot. Kinda annoying now with no restrictions.

I am giving 3 stars for the rude skiing school staff and difficulty to reach/slowest response time of the place over the phone. Everything else is very good though, I should add to be fair. Once you get there, the ski pass and renting staff as well as instructors are very nice, knowledgeable and ready to share info and give feedback. The cafeteria provides decent simple foods, coffee and friendly service. The chalet is clean and well-maintained.
