Reviews
We photograph multiple weddings a year at this venue and look forward to chatting with each new inquiry. Love the location, the property, the light creates beautiful photos, the outdoor patio, the reception space and of course the staff and food. Must have your wedding here.
During the off-season, I'm just buying time until I return to the slopes. Great people and Great skiing (for Ontario of course). I owe being here to my Dad, it was his happy place, as it is mine.
We were there for a wedding. The setting was great,the food was great, and the service was fantastic.
We went to Blue Mountain to go skiing and we didn’t know the building was membership only as there was a lack of signage on the front door. I was with my young son, we bought food from their cafeteria and was eating there and then, the staff came to tell us we had to go in a very rude and disrespectful manner. We went to other more expensive private ski clubs, and no private ski club acted as rudely as Toronto Ski Club. Other ski clubs have their own private mountain and Toronto Ski Club rents the mountain from Blue Mountain. Because of this, I didn’t realize it was a membership only area. They acted so arrogant, which is not a common behaviour in Canadian culture, especially since I was with a little kid on a very cold day. I think that Toronto Ski Club management should modify their rules and code of conduct and treat people more respectfully.
What a beautiful privite club great runs lots of groomed trails .. great fire pit and chairs. Lot's of options inside a fully stocked bar and a really good cafeteria. They had vegan and vegetarian options Lot's of yummy food . Did I mention it was really clean and the staff was friendly. I really enjoyed myself wish we just had more snow this winter.
The trails are awesome for snowshoeing!!!
Great food options, lift tickets are much more reasonably priced than Whistler. Friendly staff, the lifts and gondolas are all nice. The mountain is incredible skiing and very big. Even though there can be a lot of people the slopes don't feel crowded. Well worth the drive.
We had our wedding at the Alpine Ski Club in October 2023, and I couldn't recommend the whole experience more highly. The venue coordinator, Lauren, kept us on task and organized leading up to the big day, and Ashlea at Men with Knives was excellent to work with, too.
Many of our guests remarked on how good the food was (several said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding) and everything went smoothly and felt easy for us, because Lauren and her team did so much behind-the-scenes work to ensure that would be the case.
The dining room is beautiful, it is bright and airy, and the outdoor patio was a gorgeous backdrop for our ceremony, and a nice space to have for our guests to go outside during the evening.
Thank you so much to Lauren and Ashlea and their teams for making our wedding dreams come true!

Beginners BEWARE! The green trails here are for “advanced beginners” I would say. I write this review from my “beginner/sporadic skier” point of view. The magic carpet is great and actually has a pretty nice area, you can take a second magic carpet for a longer run. After that the “easiest” green is easy street which starts out pretty flat but then it becomes somewhat steep. It merges with the last part of an advanced run, so go figure lol. It’s doable and we enjoyed it a lot but would not even try the other greens which I’ve been told are even a little more difficult. I liked it because it was a challenge for me and I think it helped me progress but some people may find it overwhelming.
The service however is great, the staff is super friendly and well organized. The views are breathtaking. Overall a great experience.
Oh! They offer a “progression” pass which includes only the magic carpet and easy street. You can upgrade it later (paying the difference) if you find easy street too easy for you. I probably should have done that.

The mountain is amazing. The service is well organized. We spend half a day trying different runs and nothing got repetitive. The views are so beautiful you just want to stop and admire.Next time definitely a full day for this awesome ski resort.
I'm from the US but I've also been to a few resorts in British Columbia including Whistler.
That being said this resort blew me away in terms of views, ski able areas, fast/high lifts, and especially... short lines! It's probably the best resort I've ever been to so far.
Parking can get a little bit unwieldy and there's spots on the road for a while but you might have to walk a short distance.

We had our wedding at Alpine this September (2023). We had an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! We booked nearly 2 years in advance so we had lots of time to plan. The venue is gorgeous with tons of space. No matter the size of your wedding, or your vision, Alpine can accommodate. There are multiple rooms of different sizes which was great for us - we had one room for our reception dinner and one room as a ceremony back up plan for bad weather. We ended up having our ceremony on the back patio which was perfect. Beautiful background for pictures. There were fire pits and chairs outside for the evening which our guests loved! Men With Knives did an amazing job with all of the food - from the appetizers, to the dinner and late night snacks, our guests loved everything! Ashlea was lovely to work with and did an amazing job overseeing it all! Our venue coordinator, Lauren, did an amazing job as well. We had zoom meetings leading up to the wedding to go over details and answer questions. She also lead our rehearsal the day before! On our wedding day, Lauren took care of everything! We didn’t have to worry about a thing. She coordinated with the DJ, helped with our ceremony, our speeches, dinner, you name it! It was so nice to have her there to help us. All this to say that Alpine made our wedding dreams come true. Our day went perfectly. Thank you to everyone at Alpine who helped make our day so special! 10/10 would recommend as your wedding venue.
I was disappointed! All the ads suggested that I’d have a great chance of seeing wildlife, especially grizzly bears and I didn’t see any bears. Not even a deer. I saw a squirrel and a gray Jay. It was a beautiful ride though and the scenery was spectacular. The Wildlife Interpretive Center was great and even offered free coffee and hot chocolate. The restaurant at the main building was fair. I had a burger there. Had to wait a while for it. There’s a lovely gift shop. There’s supposed to be a restaurant at the top but it was closed.
Ski resort is awesome. The log building are extraordinary. Took a gondola up the mountain for views, saw 2 bears. Nice gravel trails, bear fencing, great view platform. Unfortunately the bistro and deck were closed for the season. Would recommend.
We had our wedding at Alpine Ski Club in August, and we cannot recommend it enough as a wedding venue! Their wedding coordinator, Lauren, was professional and very easy to work with, and helped us stay organized and have flow to our day. The space itself was beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that we used throughout the evening. Men with Knives, their in-house caterer, was also amazing and helped make our day special with their delicious food.
Breathtaking views and overall a great experience! I've been here multiple times, but this is the first time we caught the golden hour colours of the mountains reflecting on the calm lake. It was such a wonderful moment. Make sure to arrive early to get a praking spot! This is absolutely priceless!!!
Absolutely delighted to share our experience at the Alpine Ski Club, where we recently attended a family weekend wedding. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this venue is something special. Nestled amidst the beauty of nature, the setting provided a picturesque backdrop that was nothing short of magical.
Now, let's talk about the food—simply fantastic! Each dish was a culinary masterpiece, leaving us eagerly anticipating the next course. The chefs clearly know their craft, and it showed in every bite.
The ambiance? Oh, where do I start? Elegant yet cozy, the venue struck the perfect balance, making it an ideal setting for hosting events. Whether it was the soft lighting, the tasteful decor, or the attentive staff, every element came together seamlessly to create an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.
In conclusion, if you're considering hosting an event and want to make it memorable, look no further than the Alpine Ski Club. Highly recommended

Friendly staff and a great place to go cross country skiing or snowshoeing in the winter. They do offer banquet parties here.
It would be nice if they were able to do the trails for walking/hiking in the summer. But due to it being non profit the money is not there.

On our recent trip to Lake Louise, we decided to take the Lake Louise Gondola ride. We were pleasantly surprised to find free return transport from Lake Louise village to the Gondola which was prompt and comfortable.
You enter via the Ski Lodge which in itself is a great visitor attraction. It has all the charm you would expect with a great café, visitor shop and friendly welcoming staff.
The ride to the top of the Gondola was comfortable with full panoramic views over the lakes and mountains but the best part of the view was the grizzly bear we spotted casually munching his was along the slopes.
At the top there is a great interpretive centre that has animal exhibits and information on the local area and history. There are several hiking trails at the top that aren't too strenuous and deliver top class views, there are also plenty of picnic areas to enjoy the pristine wilderness when you’re at the top.
Overall if you are visiting Lake Louise in summer, you should really give the gondola a visit.

Friendly staff, great food awesome trails
Pretty busy today during the Canada Day 2023. Good luck finding available parking despite of the rainy day.
We had a skiing event here and it was a great experience. The skiing instructors are top-notch with excellent customer service, the snow was well groomed, the hills were a lot of fun to ski on, the food was really good, and the drinks were even better!
Hogsback run was in great shape!
Members of this club, especially the children, are absolutely disrespectful on the slopes! Acting like the they own the place because their rich parents paid for everything. They cut in lines however they want, shout out profanities like it’s somehow funny. The worst part is that the chaperones do not interfere at all!!!
Staff very accommodating. Great place but you need to either be a member or associate member or know someone who you can go in with.
Always a great place for anything
Private ski club with great access to the North chairlift at Blue Mountain. Kid's ski programs and coaching are competitive. Social events are always busy and members are friendly. Great place. Very happy we became members in 2016.
This place is so elegant, and very pretty. It was such a wonderful place to have a Christmas party. If I ever learn to ski, I will be back
Friendly staff! The trails are easy for starters too! There is a 50%discount on Friday. Highly recommend.
Great facility and super friendly staff.
Day and night skiing available and rentals on site.
Lodge always has a fire going and the food is delicious at the cafe.

It's a private club but man the deck and the bar are fantastic with the north end of Blue Mountain (best runs) right in front of you.
