Browse our refined recommendations for private ski clubs in Ontario below. Please note that these selections are presented in no particular order.
Mansfield Ski Club | Mulmur, ON
One of Ontario’s longest-operating private ski facilities, Mansfield Ski Club is quaintly secluded in Mulmur, roughly one hour and forty-five minutes from central Toronto. Exceptional in size, six lifts elevate skiers to a collection of eighteen runs covering a dynamic range of terrain and difficulty levels.
Beyond recreational usage, Mansfield Ski Club provides multi-level ski lessons for those new to the sport. Further, the club’s competitive racing programs have produced some of Canada’s most accomplished professional skiers, with various alumni competing nationally and internationally.
Additional Amenities
Diverse gastronomical offerings are available at the club’s four food and beverage venues. A well-stocked pro shop offers rental services for members and their guests. In addition to the facility at Mansfield Ski Club, members are granted auxiliary access to thirteen other private ski clubs within a brief drive from Toronto. This offering creates stand-out value for skiers seeking diverse experiences.
Membership Information
Membership begins with a one-season trial, in which candidate members are provided the same advantages and facility access as standard members.

Georgian Peaks Club | Thornbury, ON
Founded in 1960, Georgian Peaks Club’s sixty-year legacy reigns as one of the most exceptional in Ontario. Boasting extraordinarily scenic slopes, the facility rises above the shores of Georgian Bay in Thornbury.
Exhibiting the highest vertical descent of any resort public or private in Ontario, at eight hundred and twenty feet, the resort is known for its comparatively challenging terrain and emphasis on complex run design. As a result of these traits, the Georgian Peaks Club holds permission to host various FIS-standard race events.
Additional Amenities
Georgian Peaks Club operates an ample selection of licensed food and beverage venues across their facility’s base and summit. Other experience-elevating amenities include cozy fireplace lounges, a kid’s club, and on-site daycare facilities for families.
Beyond skiing and snowboarding, Georgian Peaks Club also offers a diverse selection of lifestyle programs. These include on and off-site snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, skinning, recreational skating, and shinny hockey. During the summer months, members are invited to join guided hikes up and along the escarpment.
Membership Information
Exclusive in nature, Georgian Peaks Club limits membership to a small cohort of individuals and families who exemplify the club’s values. New members are initiated through a one-year trial membership before being offered full-life admission to the club.
