Think Blue Mountain is just for skiing? Think again! The area has completely transformed into a world-class four-season destination with endless activities year-round.

Blue Mountain's Transformation

Many people are surprised to learn that Blue Mountain is just as amazing in summer as it is in winter. Prior to Intrawest's acquisition of the ski resort in 2000, summer activities were limited. However, the area has completely transformed with multiple hotels, vacation rentals, restaurants, clubs, and enhanced recreational opportunities.

  • Cost Savings - Split the cost among your group and save on dining out with a full kitchen
