Welcome to LivingSocial: Slopes

Such an awesome hill! I drive about three and a half hours there around four or five times a year. The hill is so massive, for Ontario, anyway, that it takes a full day to ride every one. And once you have gone down every hill, you can combine different runs to make a super long one, go from one side of the mountain to the other, and go through the trails in the woods, from green circle to black diamond.

Such an awesome hill! I drive about three and a half hours there around four or five times a year. The hill is so massive, for Ontario, anyway, that it takes a full day to ride every one. And once you have gone down every hill, you can combine different runs to make a super long one, go from one side of the mountain to the other, and go through the trails in the woods, from green circle to black diamond. The park is excellent there as well, despite having to pay 10$ for an entrance fee and watching a 10 minute safety video. That is a bit of a hassle, but it is well worth it because you only need to do it once because the pass is good for the whole season, and the park is worth it. They have one park, medium sized, with lots of rails and boxes, beginner and advanced, and a halfpipe in the middle, with a t-bar at the end. It is never really too crowded either. And if you live too far away to drive out there and come back that night, you can stay in the village there; an entire neighbourhood of friendly restaurants, bars, snow shops, stores, and city-like atmosphere, with plenty of high class and medium class hotels with pools and you name it. I recommend it. (show less)

Although my experience at Camelback started out rough, it ended on a great note! Some of the guides weren't very helpful. When I told them I didn't know how to ski, instead of starting me on a true beginner's trail, they sent me up to a novice trail that I was not prepared for at all. After a scary fall, and a minor freak out, one of the great men on their Ski Patrol team rescued me and literally help me ski down the mountain. So, if you are a complete newbie like me, do your trail resear... (show more)

After a scary fall, and a minor freak out, one of the great men on their Ski Patrol team rescued me and literally help me ski down the mountain. So, if you are a complete newbie like me, do your trail research beforehand and make sure to triple check with people working there where you should be. Otherwise, you could end up on a trail that you can't get down from.

After that, though, I found Coolmoor, a great beginner's trail and learned to ski! Everyone was really helpful, and by the end of the night I WAS able to make it down a novice trail! Other than the skiing, the lodge is really great and the food is delicious! It was a great place to grab some hot chocolate after a long day of skiing. I'd recommend this trail to anyone, and I can't wait to be able to go back again someday! (show less)
