Summary:
This is a nice resort and fairly accessible to anyone willing to drive a bit in Southern Ontario or Northern U.S. depending on where you live. It's about an hour north-west of Ottawa. We've been driving there for 5 March Breaks in a row and have always enjoyed it.
The hills are fun and there is a good variety and enough slope to make it challenging for any skill level. If you get tired of just downhill slopes you can head off on one of the trails through the forest. I snowboard with my son but skiers or snowboarders alike can have fun here. The views out to Lake Calabogie are really nice.

Customer Service:
The staff there have always been polite in the Chalet/Restaurant and the staff on the hills have been awesome.

Summary:
A skier for over 40 yrs., I've skied EVERYTHING from the Laurentians, to Sunshine, to La Piste Perdu at Val D, France, and 5 yrs skiing Colorado. Moved to Ont. five years ago, and haven't skied since. Was dragged to Calabogie for 2 for 1 day, and to my amazement, had a great time. Friendly, superb conditions (a great snow year in the east), parking close to the lifts, FREE parking, and the double diamonds (about a high intermediate elsewhere) are a nicely pitched pleasant ski. The length of run, top to bottom non-stop, is about what I'd do elsewhere before a break, so it was fine. The low altitude meant I could ski hard all day, and leave with lots of energy. For a jaded skier who has paid a fortune to park leagues from the lifts, and paid a fortune to stand in long lines at the high speed quads or gondolas, I found a lot to like skiing Ontario. Well done, Calabogie.

Summary:
It's where I do most of my riding because it offers a great mix of terrian, people know you by name meaning it's a friendly atmosphere. Great bar and deck for eating and drinking. Great prices. It's close to Ottawa (40 minutes) and most of all NO-LINE UPS!!! You can ride all-day and your legs will give out before you lift-ticket expires.
