In Ontario, Blue Mountain Resort only has 1 of 42 runs open with temperatures hovering well above zero. With no snow and no skiing, Blue Mountain will reopen the mini-putt and zip-line instead. Check out the Blue Mountain live webcams at bluemountain.ca/winter_webcams.htm.
Quebec is usually colder and more reliable than Ontario, but no such luck this year! Mont Tremblant ski resort only has 15 of 96 runs open, heading into the holiday season. Nonetheless, the resort continues to be optimistic.
“Nothing’s better than to start the week with a day at the hill! We had 22 cm of fresh snow in the last days. Our devoted grooming team did an awesome work last night; they were able to groom entirely our skiable terrain. We are expecting mild temperatures and good visibility today at Mont-Tremblant, it seems like it’s going to be a great day for skiing!” says the Mont Tremblant website.
Further east, Mont Sainte Anne, just outside of Quebec City has only 11 runs open.
