I haven't been to the UP, but from what my friend who goes there every year tells me about it is that Blue is relatively comparable to the UP (maybe a bit bigger with a few more runs). It is a little bit bigger and with more interesting/fun runs than some of the bigger Wisconsin hills like Cascade Mountain and Devil's Head Resort (both of which I have been to). It was nice though that they had 4 6-person lifts and they have plans for expansion. It was also great to have fresh powder, that really raised the status of Blue for us.
Going all the way to Canada for skiing alone would not have been worth it when we could have had 80-90% of the skiing only 3-4 hours away vs 10-11 hours away. However, when we combined the entire experience, Canada was/is the clear winner. I would love to make it to Whistler next year. We will see what happens in terms of a job/internship for my friends and I this summer.
