The busiest single property in the region, and a genuine four-season destination.

Winter

  • Vertical 114 m / 375 ft · skiable area 12 ha / 30 acres · longest run 579 m / 1,900 ft
  • 100% snowmaking, night skiing, two terrain parks
  • Four lifts — two quad chairs, a handle tow and a magic carpet — moving around 1,200 riders per hour
  • A first-timer package (lift, rental and a one-hour lesson) was $150 for 2025–26

Be clear-eyed about what it is: a beginner-and-intermediate hill, not an expert one. If you’ve skied Blue or out west, this is a weeknight hill, not a destination.

The 2025–26 season ran roughly 12 December to 22 March — about 100 days, entirely dependent on snowmaking. Check conditions the morning you go.

Published run counts disagree — 15 in some sources, 16 in others. Ask the resort.

The rest of the year

An 18-hole Thomas McBroom championship course, a spa of roughly 740 m², organic gardens and several restaurants. Adamo Estate Winery is its sister property, with a complimentary shuttle between the two every 30 minutes, 1:30–9 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays — which is the civilised way to do a tasting.

Aerial view of the Hockley Valley ski hill on a busy winter day, with skiers spread across every run, snow guns firing along the ridge and the frozen pond below the hotel.
A full Saturday on the hill. Note the snow guns running along the top — that's the whole season right there.
Aerial view of Hockley Valley Resort in winter, with skiers on the groomed runs above the hotel and a chairlift running up the hill.
The hotel sits at the bottom of the runs, so you can walk out of the lobby and onto the snow.
Four young skiers in helmets and winter gear standing together at the bottom of the hill, with the runs and chairlift behind them.
This is who the hill is really for. Plenty of Dufferin kids learn to ski right here.
Two young skiers with poles and lift tickets standing on the snow at the base of the slope, chairlift climbing the hill behind them.
Lift tickets on, poles sorted. The beginner terrain is a short walk from the chalet.

The Thomas McBroom championship course runs right up to the hotel. Same hill, no snow.
The resort's outdoor pool surrounded by stone paving, loungers and pines, with people swimming on a summer afternoon.
