Be sure to check out the Scandinave Spa when you are visiting Blue Mountain!
Blue Mountain is an alpine ski resort in Ontario, Canada, just northwest of Collingwood. It is situated on a section of the Niagara Escarpment about 1 km (0.6 mi.) from Nottawasaga Bay, and is a major destination for skiers from southern Ontario. The local area forms the newly incorporated town of The Blue Mountains, Ontario. On average, Blue Mountain sells more than 750,000 lift tickets per year, making it the third-busiest ski resort in Canada, after Whistler-Blackcomb in British Columbia and Mont Tremblant in Quebec.
This mountain is nothing compared to the Swiss Alps, Whistler, Canadian Rocky Mountains (near Calgary, Canada) or Mount Fuji but it is the best we've got in Ontario.

Cómo moverse
Using Public Transit & GoogIe Maps
If you are going to be using public transit, there are 2 local transit companies: TTC (Toronto Transit Commission) and GO Transit. You can purchase a PrestoCard at any station or individual tickets by either a teller, a ticket machine (via credit card or debit card), or pay cash on a TTC bus or station (GO transit doesn't accept cash). Please note: TTC rides by PrestoCard or tickets are valid for unlimited transfers/rides for 2 hours from initial "tap" or use.
If you use GoogIe Maps, it will tell you have to get to places via Public Transit, walk, bike or drive. Highly recommend!
