Blue Mountain Ski Resort

Off season Official site

Blue Mountain Ski Resort is a ski area in Canada, at about 374 m. Its mapped area is about 3.8 km across, with 60 marked runs and 13 lifts (about 30 km of piste in all).

Over the last twelve winters the ERA5 weather model gives it 147 cm of snowfall a season, 1,699th (tied) of 3,069 worldwide and 84th in Canada. Its winters are fairly steady; even the leanest, 2023/24 (112 cm), reached 76% of the average. January is usually the snowiest month, with about 45 cm.

Below is a link to its official live camera.

Snow depth and the seven-day outlook appear here once snow starts to fall. Until then, the long-run record comes first.

Elevation of the ski area’s centre point, taken from a digital elevation model. It is not the base-to-summit range.

We do not show a snow depth here. The weather model we use reports snow lying on the ground — it knows nothing about grooming or snowmaking, and it is not the base depth a ski area publishes. In Japan we can check our figures against 234 weather stations. Outside Japan there is nothing to check them against, so we do not print a number we have not verified.

When it falls, and how winters differ

Winter by winter

Across the 12 winters measured, the average is 147 cm, and 6 of them fell short of it. The leanest was 2023/24 with 112 cm; the biggest was 2022/23 with 182 cm (1.6 times as much). For 26% of the 171 ski areas in Canada, the leanest winter was the same 2023/24: bad winters tend to hit a whole region at once.

99% of the vertical on the runs descends to the north or east. Those slopes get the least sun, so the snow lasts longer.
