The best thing about skiing at Searchmont Resort is that although there is only 18 ski runs, each run is entirely unique and feels different to all the others. The terrain park is worth the visit to – it has one of the best parks in all of Ontario. Located 25 miles north of the town of Sault Ste. Marie, it’s not as conveniently located to Toronto and Ottawa but it’s ideal for those wanting to visit the Great Lakes or the US which is just across St Mary’s River. It’s your classic ‘old-skool’ remote Canadian ski mountain that gives you the chance to experience true mountain hospitality. You can meet locals at rustic après ski bars where the beers are cheap and plentiful. Seachmont is family friendly as well. The resort has ski schools and beginner slopes in addition to the off-piste pursuits. On top of it all, Searchmont has cheap lift tickets – $60CAD for adults and $21CAD for kids under 10. Night skiing is available if you don’t want to get off the slopes and can handle the cold.
