Blue Mountain is a great place for winter activities. Listed below are the top ten wintertime activities available at Blue Mountain Resort by Outside Walla Walla.
Horse Riding
You can reach Blue Mountain Resort from Mountain View Stables in only five minutes. The ski slopes are in the distance as the trail ride passes through a picturesque meadow and along creeks. The horses are easygoing and familiar enough with the trails to occasionally cut corners. There are plenty of other animals to play with in the horse stable.
Snowmobile Driving
Ride on Rentals provides practice on a wide snowy area for those who have never tried skidooing. Once you have mastered the controls, hop on a snowmobile and enjoy a tour through a desolate wilderness.
Dog-sled Riding
When visiting Rob Roy Farm, you may experience the thrill of being pulled through the snow by a lovable pack of purebred Siberian huskies. Later, you can get some hot chocolate and visit the adjacent igloos.
Snowshoe Hiking
Snowshoeing is a great way to spend a few hours outdoors, whether you are looking for a solo adventure or a fun outing with the family. You can tour the Georgian Hills Vineyards and taste some local wine and cheese, or you can be driven “military-style” up a mountain to see breathtaking views of Georgian Bay.
Icy Skating
Blue Mountain also offers ice skating on the 1.1-kilometer mountaintop ice skating loop and the smaller, more mellow Mill Pond in Blue Mountain Village. Any level of skating experience is welcome, and skate rentals are available.
Cave Exploring
Hike through the forest on snowshoes to reach the caves carved into the Niagara Escarpment. Once you reach the caves, remove your snowshoes and go inside. To get about the caves, you will have to get on your hands and knees, and it will be like entering another planet altogether.
The Ridge Rider Mountain Coaster Riding
Travel the track at your own pace or reach speeds of up to 26 miles per hour. The most excellent part is that since many passengers can board at once, wait times are minimal.
Visit Blue Mountain Village
The village looks like it was built at the turn of the century and is located in Ontario. The area is filled with places to stay, eat, and shop for the whole family. Beaver Tails are a classic Canadian treat and are delicious while you shop or stroll around the frozen Mill Pond.
Connect with Wolves
Gain insight into the wolf’s lifestyle in a healthy habitat with the help of a retired forest ranger. Wolves originally populated largely in Canada, but they were nearly wiped out by human hunting.
Rest at a Spa
Blue Mountain Resort and the surrounding area are home to several spas; however, guests frequently choose the Scandinave Spa due to its high quality and reputation. The Scandinave Spa, well-known for its Finnish hydrotherapy method, uses a hot-cold-relax cycle to reduce stress and revitalize the body and mind. Toxins will be flushed out of your system, and your blood flow will be stimulated after a day at this spa.
