Blue Mountain and Collingwood :: Ski hills just outside Collingwood, Ontario
I'm not a skier, so a trip to the ski hills is more a chance for me to take photos than to ski.

We've spent time at the Blue Mountain Ski Resort in the winter and in the summer, when the Blue Mountain Village has lots of events to entertain you when there is no snow.

Not far from the mountain is the town of Collingwood with more restaurants, and some older buildings. I have a couple of photos of the old 1914 Post Office - called the Federal Building, which was inspired in part by the State Finance Building in Havana, Cuba. The Beaux-Arts style building, at 59 Hurontario Street, remains much as it was built, with ornate Corinthian columns.

Just down the street, at 86 Hurontario, is the Ski Train mural by Richard Gill from 2001. It is made up of individual hand-sculpted clay pieces and depicts skiers arriving at Craigleith Station by train waiting to be taken to the ski hills on a horse-drawn sleigh, often by the founder of Blue Mountain, Jozo Weider.
