Is a November chalet stay at Blue Mountain worth it?
For the right group, yes. The trails are open, the restaurants are quieter, and every chalet's private hot tub runs year-round. What you give up is skiing and the summer pool: the lifts typically open in early-to-mid December, the 2025–26 season opened on December 9, and the pool runs from May to mid-September. Our ski season start answer explains how opening day is set.
November is also among the best-value times of year to rent; our cheapest time to rent answer explains why, and the November guide describes the month honestly.
