Things to Do With a Non-Skier At Blue Mountain

Monday, February 14th, 2011

For many people, a winter vacation at Blue Mountain means skiing or snowboarding. However, if you have a guest who doesn’t ski or snowboard, there’s no need to stress yourself out just yet. There are tons of ways you can keep your guest entertained without hitting the slopes.

If your non-skier is the outdoors type, there are various alternatives to consider. You can always try snowshoeing or go skating at the Collingwood Central Park Outdoor Rink (705-444-2500).
