Better late than never, right? Major Ontario ski areas like Blue Mountain and Mt. St. Louis Moonstone are finally opening this weekend, as areas north of Toronto have been receiving heaps of snow all week.
Most are opening in a limited capacity, though, with plans to open more lifts and runs as weather permits.
In years past I have headed up north to attend opening day, but this year I’m going to pass. Because Ontario hills are so small, “limited capacity” tends to mean really, really limited – to the point that you’re actually pretty bored within an hour.
I’ve got next Friday off work, though, so maybe I can convince Josh to head up to Blue Mountain. More lifts should be open by then.
Aww, shoot. I can’t take the Friday off of work before a long weekend. At least not without a doctors note. The trials and tribulations of working for our government.
