MOUNTAIN LIFE - Blue Mountains | Summer 2019

16 There’s no doubt that Blue Mountain Resort’s summer attractions have nearly outpaced its winter offerings. Yes, we all associate Blue with some of the best ski slopes in Ontario, but increasingly their green season offerings—from downhill mountain biking to zip lining and the low and high ropes courses—consistently draw crowds from spring through fall. While these green season attractions vary from adrenalin pumping (think zip line, high ropes, downhill and bag jump) to more family friendly (think low ropes, Ridge Runner and mini golf), Blue has added two new attractions this summer that offer an all-ages experience for family visitors. The Chutes and Lumber Ball Run opened this spring on Easy Rider ski run, while the Canopy Climb Net Adventure is set to open in July. Chutes and Lumber is a wooden ball track divided into three 30-metre modular sections running down Easy Rider. You release your wooden ball at the top of the track and follow it alongside as it makes its way through twists, turns and obstacles, many that you control. Think of a life-size marble run in a beautiful outdoor setting. The Canopy Climb Net Adventure will feature bounce nets, treehouses, slides and a watchtower suspended above the ground under a canopy of BETTER TIMES OUTSIDE UPFRONT
