The one guy made the poutine fresh for us (whenever I'm craving the poutine and I'm not in Quebec and no specialty chip truck or specialty restaurant around, A&W is my go to). 5 stars for fast food. Thank you to the very nice wonderful staff.

Weve gone to this onroute several times a year for the past decade on our monthly trip to the…read morecottage. On multiple past occasions of this year, we have opened our take out bag expecting a delicious savoury sausage smell of our sausage and egg sandwich. suddenly a large gust of indian man cologne pierces our nostrils, with every bite of my sandwich my nose hairs tingle. I do not want to smell a middle aged Indian man when trying to enjoy my sandwich. I'm glad you put on cologne, I am not happy you put it on my sandwich. As I am writing this the smell is still lingering in my vehicle.. will it ever go away? Will the spirit of this middle aged Indian man always be in my car? Will I ever go back? probably. But seriously how do you get cologne on a sandwich.

If you're looking for an entry slope, Snow Valley could be it…read more We visited for the first time in years and were pleasantly surprised by the small crowd. It's a smaller venue for skiing with 20 generally short slopes ranging from green to blacks, plus a tubing terrain. The chalet is small with a good number of attendees at the ticket booth, equipment shop and 2nd floor restaurant that serves up basic meal bites with a weeknight deal. Tickets are checked manually at the lifts. Many blue & black slopes themselves are relatively narrow with a few runs that are frequented into soft chopped snow. One of the hills was cordoned off for downhill racing while other slopes had minimal skiers & snowboarders heading down beside us. The lifts moved at a brisk pace although there is a triple-lift with tight seating and a tight off-ramp that was more suited for doubles to avoid tripping. The level of difficulty on the black diamond slopes was low. There is also a freestyle terrain park with jumps on the east side beside the tubing terrain, and a patch of mogul bumps on a west side slope. Overall the resort is oriented towards beginners as a short 1 hr GTA drive near Barrie. Skip it or hit it? On the one hand I was intrigued by the short narrow slopes, on the other there are more challenging and better ski facilities a little further away. Not sure how often we'd come back.

It's been a while since I visited this place. I showed up during the coldest day in January 2026…read morewhich was absolute powder. I went in to redeem a 2 for 1 ticket from the ski and snowboard show a few months back. What's nice to see is the conveyor belt with their main base lift which moves the crowds fast. It's been a long time since I tried the other chair lifts and I hardly remember how fast they have the speed set here so you have minimal wait time- not that I had any competition because there were only 30 or so other patrons. The sad part about this place is the food- they used to have a burger made from scratch- not anymore so the patties seem to be just vanilla. The chalet / restaurant is cute log style with fire place so if you're abandoning any family it's a bit tolerable.
