Mount St. Louis Moonstone

0 stars if possible. Horrible customer service! Won two lift tickets from a radio station contest and came last week. Unfortunately, it was too muddy and gross so we got our tickets back and returned today. Spoke to the clerk, supervisor, and owner and according to them the tickets were used and the best they could do was sell us $ 40 lift tickets instead of the regular $ 57. We were not told that we would forfeit the tickets of we got a refund. Today, despite showing them the refund receipt from the gross, muddy day, they did not change their positions. What a waste of time! Well, this resort just lost customers and for sure will tell others about their horrible customer service. The clerk was smirking the whole time. Arrogant staff and management. Back to Blue Mountain then.

For Ontario, this is the best place to come for snowboarding in my opinion. It’s half the distance from Toronto than blue mountain is and there is less people (which means less noobs in the way, and less ice). There’s a whole beginners area so that’s good for people first starting and two decent park areas. I think they are also the only place in Ontario with two half pipes. They have a decent amount of trails and they’re not that much shorter than blue mountain. Personally I can’t justify the extra commute to blue when this place offers decent trails and less people. I bought an early bird night ski pass (3:30pm-9pm) for $ 150, which I think is a pretty good deal

This is a great ski park overall! Just an hour and a half away from Toronto, perfect for people who’s looking for a day trip.
The price here is very reasonable, and shorter wait compared to the crowded blue mountain. Very friendly and helpful staff. There’s 36 runs, 4 parks and 6 lifts here. Starting this year, St. Louis is offering night skiing.
The beginner lesson is a great deal for anyone looking to try skiing or snowboarding doe the first time. It includes a beginner lift ticket + equipment rental + a 1.5hr group lesson ($ 90ish if I remember correctly)! I’ve taken a few friends here to try out skiing/​snowboarding, they all enjoyed the lesson a lot. There s also more intensive private instructor lesson offered here for anyone interested.
Cafeteria here is great, from the price to the food options. You can find soup, burgers, chili, pull pork sandwiches, poutine, salad and pizza, etc here.
I would definitely recommend this place to beginner or more advanced snow sport fans.

This is a great place to ski in Ontario. Instructors and staff are amazing and would recommend this place to anyone to enjoy a day of skiing.

I’ve been a beginner snowboarder for 3 years now. Sad, I know. But I’ve finally found a place where I feel comfortable enough to piece together the puzzle that makes snowboarding somewhat enjoyable.
There is an entire beginners’ area, which is great because it doesn’t get too busy (at least not on a Saturday or Sunday the last two weeks I’ve gone). The price to use the beginners’ area is less than if you’re actually good, and can go on the regular runs.
Since I have my own gear, I don’t know about the prices for rentals but it seems like they have plenty, both skiing and snowboarding. They also have a whole bunch of programs, group lessons or one on one, for everyone of all ages and ability levels.
The main building is pretty standard with lockers for rent, tables and chairs if you bring your own food, and a cafeteria that serves a decent variety of generic foods at slightly inflated prices.
This place offers night skiing now which would be fun for those who are into that sort of thing. Just call to make sure they’re open so you don’t go all the way there and find out they’re not, the hard way.

Got a good deal on lift tickets from Costco. Hills were well groomed and lots of options. Staff very unfriendly however and almost hostile. Guest services did not want to accept my e ticket because it was not printed off. No customer service at all. Every time I asked a small question I was treated as an inconvenience instead as a customer. Will most likely try Horseshoe next instead despite good hills.

BEST SNOWBOARDING PARK IN ONTARIO!
BEST CHAIR LIFTS IN ONTARIO!
BEST SKI SCHOOL IN ONTARIO!
BEST SNOW GROOMING and MAINTENANCE STAFF IN ONTARIO!
Suitable for all skill types. they have hills to please anybody. For Ontario Skiing… you will not find better this close to home!
They have two very large chalets to get lunch in. They are liquor licensed. They have some great food options.
*The food is not healthy: so if your looking for a healthy day out of exercise: bring your own food!

Nothing beats the first trip of the season up north for snowboarding. Last season was absolute crap and we lost an entire season due to warmer weather conditions (good for some but not for others).
As my buddy and I pulled into the parking lot we reminisced about past experiences here and how much we really do enjoy this spot compared to others. Reasons being, the two other most popular and closest ski resorts we frequent are Horseshoe and Blue. Horseshoe for lack of a better word is fairly dull. The runs at Horseshoe are «run down» and they don’t seem to have the budget to operate this place in any sort of competitive fashion. While Blue Mountain may be the première ski resort in Ontario it is too far away for a last minute plan to hit the slopes.
Mount St Louis is like baby bear’s chair, bed and porridge from the story of Goldilocks — Jusssssstttt right! It’s not too close so that it isn’t too warm and not too far that it’s a mission to drive to. The resort isn’t ghetto BUT it isn’t the village @ Blue. It’s perfect for a day trip! Prices are reasonable for a day pass ($ 45), however the season pass is still a bit of a rip off.
I’ve been boarding regularly for the better part of a decade and can say when it comes to Ontario hills I know my slopes. Mount St Louis is also never flooded with people and the hills are groomed regularly.
My one bugaboo about this place is the fact that a day in the snow here ends @ 4:30pm, meaning they do not offer night boarding. Lame! With all the money they’ve invested in this place (like larger runs, more sophisticated snow making guns and an expanded freestyle park) you think they’d toss up some flood lights. Ah well C’est La Vie.
My go to spot for fun in the snow!

MSLM is a family owned ski resort not too far away from the city. about 2hrs drive north of TO.
there are about 25 runs of different levels of difficulty. there are no crazy challenging and steep runs but there are good mogul runs and 2 great freestyle parks (one on each side — the mt st louis and moonstone sides).
the best thing about the place is grooming. whatever weather conditions are outside you can always expect to find very nicely groomed hills in MSLM. There are rarely icy slopes.
there are two chalets. with lots of seating spots. lockers available for day rent (but you’re safe to leave your bag in the locker area — nothing ever happened to mine and you save $ on the lockers). rental is available as well.
the snow school has lots of instructors and lots of different programs tailored to all the levels of skiers/​snowboarders.
a very nice ski/​snowboard resort. would definitely take my friends out there. not giving it 5 stars because it’s not big/​high enough and get’s boring if you go there too often.

First off, skiing in Ontario sucks; we all agree on that so let’s just accept that it is was it is and move on. I am not attempting to compare Louis to Whistler or Revelstoke here (give yourself a big pat on the back for me if you know what Revelstoke is as we are kindred spirits).
It used to be that there were two independent ski areas Mt. St. Louis and Moonstone (in the 80’s), but now they operate as one enterprise.
It’s not like Blue Mountain, in that there is absolutely nothing there other than the hills (i.e., no accommodation, no lame bars masquerading around as cool, no well dressed soccer moms drinking lattes). If you are looking for the extreme yuppie ski experience spend a weekend at Tremblant or Blue.
Louis is the place for you if you are from the GTA and are looking to do a couple of hours of skiing and then return home. The hills aren’t as big as they are in Collingwood, but are bigger and more expansive than Glen Eden and Horseshoe. In any event they are big and varied enough that you can get a decent set of turns in before you’re bored. The lift systems are also really top notch. They have four detachable high speed lifts, which is unheard of for Ontario.
The beginner hills on the Mt. St. Louis side are great if you are going to learn to ski/​board or are taking someone to teach. The hills don’t have horizontal tilt (i.e., they don’t send beginners careening into the woods) and each hill becomes gradually steeper. There are also magic carpets (human conveyor belts) for those who are apprehensive about getting onto a lift for their first time. The beginner stuff on the Moonstone side is not as good.
The main drawback is that the chalets are pretty lame. I would suggest going up for a couple of hours and foregoing the chalet for all purposes other than a drink, snack and washroom break.
