Early December at Blue Mountain: Open Dates and Prices, December 1 to 19

Blog · November 11, 2026 · By the Tyrolean Village team, family-run at Blue Mountain since 1964

The first three weeks of December are the quiet part of the winter at Blue Mountain. The Village has been lit up for Holiday Magic since November 20, the ski hill is projected to open on December 10, and the holiday weeks are still to come. Our chalets are priced to match: a weekend night from December 4 to 19 costs 20% to 39% less than the same chalet on a February weekend. When we checked our calendar on November 11, every chalet still had at least one of the three weekends open. Here is what is available, what it costs, and three good ways to use it.

What is open, chalet by chalet

“Weekends open” are the Friday-to-Sunday stays starting December 4, 11 and 18. Prices are per night for the whole chalet, before HST and the municipal accommodation tax, for the nights that were open from December 1 to 19 when we checked on November 11. The minimum stay on these dates is 2 nights. The last column opens that chalet with the first open weekend filled in, where the calendar and the price are live.

Why these weeks cost less

Prices follow demand, and demand peaks from Christmas to March. A Friday or Saturday night in chalet #54, which sleeps 20, is $1,250 in early December against $1,597 in February. A luxury chalet for 14 is $1,595 against $1,997, and apartment #B1 for 8 is $395 against $647. With every bed filled, #54 works out to about $63 a person a night, and the apartment to about $49.

Same chalets, same hot tubs and fireplaces, same walk to the Village. The difference is that early in December you are not competing for them.

The holiday party that is not in a banquet room

A team of 10 to 14 fits one luxury chalet: 7 bedrooms, most with their own bathroom, a kitchen and dining table for the whole group, a private hot tub, and room to hold the year-end meeting in the morning and the party at night. All three luxury chalets stand side by side and sleep 42 together, and on November 11 all three were open on the weeknights of December 1 to 3, 6 to 9 and 13 to 17, and on the weekend of December 4. A weeknight is $1,295 to $1,595 a chalet. If nobody wants to cook, private chefs and caterers come to the chalet, and the Village’s restaurants are a 10 to 20 minute walk. Our corporate getaways page has the details for company bookings.

Christmas with the people you will not see on the 25th

Friends who do their own gift exchange. The side of the family that spends Christmas Day somewhere else. A weekend in early December gives them a long table, a fireplace and nobody leaving early to drive home. Chalet #54 sleeps 20 in 8 bedrooms, with a private hot tub, an indoor cedar sauna and a ping pong table, and it was open on all three weekends when we checked. For two families, the #FO1 + #FO2 duplex gives each one its own cottage and kitchen under one roof, sleeping 20 in all, and dogs are welcome there and at #54.

The first ski weekends of the season

Blue Mountain’s season passes are based on a projected opening on December 10, with night skiing scheduled to start the same day, weather permitting. That makes the weekends of December 11 and December 18 the first of the season. Not every run is open that early, and the resort posts its open runs on its conditions page, so check it before you pack the skis. The ski hills are a 7 to 10 minute walk from the chalets, and apartment #B1 is 150 m from the lifts. If the snow is late, the weekend still works: the Scandinave Spa is a short drive, and the chalet has the fireplace.

What is on in the Village

Holiday Magic runs from November 20 to January 3 this year. A lit trail winds through the Village every night from dusk until 10 PM, and the season’s schedule brings Santa, festive train rides and live music; the dates are on the Village’s Holiday Magic page. The Village shops are open for anyone with a gift list, and our guests save 15% on axe throwing at AXED in the Village; that and other offers are on our discounts page. It is all a 10 to 20 minute walk from the chalets, so nobody has to find parking.

Good to know before you book

The minimum stay on these dates is 2 nights. Check-in is 4 to 7 PM at our office on Grey Road 19 and checkout is 11 AM. Because these dates are close, note the payment terms: a booking made less than 30 days before arrival is paid in full when you book and is non-refundable; one made 30 days or more ahead takes a 40% deposit and can be cancelled up to 30 days before arrival for a refund less a 3% card fee. At check-in we take a credit card pre-authorization as a security deposit, $1,000 for a 3 or 4-bedroom and $1,500 for the larger chalets; it is a hold, not a charge. Beds come made, and towels are provided. Guests are 25 or older unless you are a family with children or have the manager’s approval, the town’s noise bylaw applies at all hours, and hot tubs close at 11 PM. More in minimum stay and check-in.
