Blue Mountain, 2016 Home of the OCR World Championships

Today, Blue Mountain Resort near Collingwood, Ontario, Canada, was named the site of the 2016 OCR World Championships. The event will be held on October 14 & 15, 2016. This major destination for skiers in southern Ontario will be transformed next fall for a different type of athlete.

Blue Mountain is the perfect backdrop for international competition like OCR World Championships. The resort, 90 minutes north of Toronto and 11 km west of Collingwood, is no stranger to competitive sporting events, holding several international ski races each year. In the past, it has hosted World Cup level skicross competitions as well as World Cup Boardercross for snowboarding.  It is the third most visited ski resort in Canada, behind Mount Tremblant and Whistler-Blackcomb.
