Travelled from southern Ontario to stay with family in the Soo and ski at Searchmont. It was March break, and one would assume that the whole hill was open! Not the case. The farthest chair lift was closed, limiting acess to one of the best glade runs in Ontario! We were disappointed for sure.
Great terrain.
3rd lift closed, only open Saturdays!

Wouldn't recommend staying the night at their accommodations. Staff is also unfriendly and customer service is crap.
Decent Skiing
Terrible Staff & Customer Service

Searchmont is great, and just got a cash infusion to needed areas by a NEW OWNER! Yeah! If you haven't been here or haven't in a while you are missing out on a gem tucked away in the beautiful Algoma Highlands. Spectacular views and great tree skiing.
Economical, great terrain for midwest, no lines ever
Needs improvement to snowmaking and grooming
M Not happy
Beatiful hill. But now just bought out by American Company. Will not support American business as long as Trump is President. Will go ski Mount Antoine in the meantime.
Great grooming and reasonable lift lines
Roadway to get there

I have skied all of the major Ontario resorts and Searchmont is by far my favourite. The terrain offers great beginner and intermediate slopes, but the reasons I love Searchmont are 1) the great snow - cold smoke powder at least a dozen times last season 2) the ungroomed and gladed runs complete with some huckable cliffs and a few sections that turn into pillow runs after a good dumping - some days last winter reminded me of heli-skiing at Revelstoke. If you are within a days drive and snow is in the forecast, do not hesitate to check this place out. You will not be disappointed.
Great snow and backcountry/treed terrain
Daily pass fees are outrageous

I've been to several of the best resorts in the Canadian Rockies, but Searchmont is still one of the best resorts I've ever been to. This mountain has incredible terrain with a wide range of slopes, plenty of expert runs, and lengthy trail runs. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and highly knowledgeable.

That's about it, again the hill is the best your going to find around the Sault Ste Marie Ontario area because that's the only Hill around. It's respectably large by eastern standards, gets a good dump of natural snow, can challenge any level skier and the resort does feel comfortable which is a great plus.
With limited choices in this area it happens to be your only choice however it's a good choice. The drive up is scenic albeit somewhat far, say half hour from the city so not bad. The hill is very nice for being East of the Rockies.
It'd be that we don't have the length of runs like the Rockies which is forgivable. No gas stations so fill up before leaving the city. The triple chair has never been open so I'd say take the chairs off of it and put them on the double.
