Il posto potrebbe anche essere carino, ma ha un'atmosfera strana. Non lascerei mai i miei figli da soli lì.

La pista ha diverse piste servite da due seggiovie lente. Le code per la seggiovia a volte possono essere lunghe, ma è davvero un peccato che il rifugio sia in pessime condizioni e che il cibo sia simile a quello che si trova fuori dalla mensa di un cantiere. La direzione della pista sembra dare la colpa dei suoi problemi al programma di sci agonistico giovanile e di recente ha cacciato i volontari e la squadra dalla pista. È un peccato che la direzione non sostenga lo sci giovanile. Suggerisco di andare su una delle altre piste della zona.

Adoro visitare questo posto, è il più grande entro 3 ore di auto dalla zona di Kingston. Un ottimo resort per famiglie dove trascorrere l'intera giornata. L'unico neo è che l'abbonamento stagionale è costoso, inoltre bisogna guidare più a lungo e consumare più benzina per arrivarci.

Sono rimasto impressionato dalle condizioni della neve dal 18 al 20 marzo. Le poche piste aperte erano tenute in modo eccellente. I battipista hanno fatto un lavoro incredibile. Gli addetti agli impianti di risalita sono i tipi più cordiali e allegri che si possano incontrare! Abbiamo trascorso una fantastica vacanza sugli sci. A mio parere, la migliore in Ontario, e considerando i prezzi ragionevoli degli impianti e le code brevi, non mi preoccuperei nemmeno di fare un viaggio in auto e spendere di più per andare in Quebec...

I’ve been skiing for 40 years and this was my first time at calabogie surely won’t be back. They charge too much for one two offer no food other than dining room.

I normally ski a smaller hill nearby (Mount Pakenham) but decided to try out Calabogie. I'm comfortable on most terrain but I found Calabogie to be challenging because the grade of some trails switches very suddenly without warning. A number of times I was on a blue trail(even once on a green trail) and there were parts of the trails that were definitely black ratings. For example the bottom part of Shantyman should probably should be rated as blue or black (it's way too steep for a beginner). Bailey's and Causeway (both blue) blend into Finnegan rather seemlessly and without obvious signs, so if you're new to the hill you could easily end up on a black run without realizing it (that's what I did). Even the Old K&P had many sections that I definitely do not consider to be beginner friendly. Fortunately, as mentioned, I'm comfortable with all types of terrain so it wasn't a problem for me, but I can see from the other reviews and also from the number of people being carried off in sleds (about 2 in 2hrs) that the signage/trail classification leads to dangerous situations. I totally sympathize with the other review on here where someone described a hairpin turn on a green run. They just kind of sneak up on you, which is hard for a beginner to handle. For these reasons, I would not recommend this resort for beginners. With that being said, the signage for specific features was great. There were some moguls, terrain park features, the snowcross park, etc that were very clearly marked with "expert only". ...It's just the steepness of the normal slopes that is poorly signed. It also would have been nice if the type of terrain was noted in the map. For example, Buckshot had signage at the top of it saying that it was thin coverage and ungroomed, but it said nothing about this on the trail maps. Speaking of trail maps, there are non posted on the mountain themselves. I had one of those handy maps that they give out at the ticket booth, but sometimes it's nice to look at a map at the top or bottom of the hill instaed of fishing around in your pocket for your map. Also as mentioned by other reviews, the website said that all trails were open but because only 1 lift was open (during the week), effectively you cannot get to some of the trails. This is false advertising. I'm also not sure why they would run solar quad instead of lakeview, since lakeview seems to cover 100% of the trails and solar quad leaves out a few. Grooming was not great compared to Pakenham. I was surprised to see some bare patches on the mountain (and I'm not talking about the intentionally ungroomed rock cuts). The same day that I skiied Calabogie I also went to Pakenham for night ski and the Pakenham snow was way better. The roof in the chalet was leaking and it looks like a lot of the resort is in various stages of disrepair. Hopefully some money gets invested into fixing things up before the place completely falls apart. Overall, I had a pretty good experience. Very friendly staff. Resort (parking, lift tickets, food, etc) is easy to navigate. Short/no lines during the week. Cute little cafeteria. Well laid-out design. Just make sure you're on your toes with the runs since they really aren't adequately marked.

I have been skiing 50 years and still do. Calabogie is the best for me. The very best grooming possible. No one does snow like Calabogie. The maintaining and progressing improvements are obvious. The staff are friendly, lots of smiles. You can feel very safe here. Location, costs, facilities, are all what one expects to see and have. Calabogie facilitates enjoyment.

amazing hill. i come here over and over again, and it never ceases to amaze me

Nice little hill, and the front-line staff are pleasant, but the management decisions are so disappointing. This 'resort' is being run into the ground. Full price tickets for 1/3 open terrain. Smaller lift runs on weekdays so even if more terrain is open and advertised as open, no way to access it. Misleading (frankly, FALSE) info re: open runs to lure people in, but in reality, much of the mountain is closed off and no ownership taken for the error. Emails aren't answered, for positive or negative feedback. Lodge is in poor repair and poorly serviced throughout the day. Make sure you have a pocketful of Kleenex before you enter the bathroom, because good luck finding any toilet paper. It's a shame that a hill with a lot of potential and front line staff who are trying their best is being mismanaged into a joke.

Great spot, very glad I decided to check it out. Spent 30 years limiting my skiing in Ontario to Blue Mountain, Horseshoe, MSLM, and others north of the GTA - Decided to check this out yesterday solo and enjoyed it a ton. Just started my kids skiing and not sure I'd bring them here just yet as some of the green runs are a little too steep for my 5 yr old. Runs are in great shape, lots to choose from so you won't get bored, Chalet is room... It sucks that mid week skiing means that only one lift is open and you don't get to ski the entire mountain. While the crowds were fewer, you miss out on more runs...
