What is there to do at Blue Mountain in winter if you don’t ski?
Plenty. In winter Blue Mountain Resort runs snow tubing, skating on a mountaintop trail, snowshoeing, a shinny rink, the Ridge Runner Mountain Coaster and the Plunge! Aquatic Centre, and the Village has shops, restaurants and axe throwing. The Scandinave Spa’s outdoor baths are a short drive away. In a group where half ski and half don’t, everyone has a full day.

These are the names on the resort’s own activities list. Each one has its own tickets, hours and height or age limits, and outdoor ones depend on the weather, so check the resort’s site for the day you are going.
A short drive away
The Scandinave Spa and its outdoor baths are a short drive from the chalets, for guests 14 and older; the age rules are here and our spas page lists others. Cross-country skiing is also a short drive, and downtown Collingwood, about 15 minutes away, is good for an afternoon of shops and coffee.
Back at the chalet
Every chalet has a fireplace, a full kitchen and smart TVs, and chalet #54 and the luxury chalets have private hot tubs; #54 also has an indoor cedar sauna and a ping pong table. The skiers walk back from the hill in 7 to 10 minutes, so the group ends up in the same living room by late afternoon. More winter ideas are on our winter page.
