When does the ski season start and end at Blue Mountain?
For winter 2026–27, Blue Mountain’s season passes are based on a projected opening on December 10, 2026 and a closing on March 28, 2027, with night skiing scheduled from December 10 to March 21. Those are the resort’s planning dates; the real ones depend on the weather, and the resort posts its open runs and lifts every day.
The season, month by month
| When | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Mid-December | Projected opening December 10. Early in the season not every run is open; check the conditions page before you travel. |
| Christmas and New Year’s | Holiday weeks, with Holiday Magic in the Village until January 3. Chalets for these dates book first. |
| January and February | The middle of the season. Family Day is Monday, February 15, 2027. |
| March | March Break for Ontario’s public school boards is March 15 to 19, 2027, inside the projected season. Night skiing is scheduled to end March 21 and the season is projected to close March 28. |
Booking a chalet around it
The holiday weeks fill first and cost the most: our pages for Christmas and March Break list every chalet with its price for those dates. Outside the holidays, midweek nights from January to March cost about half a weekend night; see the cheapest time to rent. A booking can be cancelled for a refund, less a 3% card fee, until 30 days before arrival, which helps if you are booking before the snow is certain.
If the snow is late or leaves early
Blue Mountain has snowmaking on 360 of its 365 acres, which helps the season through thaws. If the hill is not open on your dates, the area still has the Scandinave Spa, the Village, tubing, skating and snowshoeing when conditions allow; see what to do if you don’t ski.
Where these facts come from
Checked in November 2026: Blue Mountain Resort, 5x7 Pass terms; Blue Mountain Resort, Mountain Stats; Blue Mountain Resort, conditions. Details about our own chalets are from our chalet pages and rental information. Schedules and prices at the resort change, so confirm on its site before you go.
