PEAKS HISTORY

1957 | The Vision Begins

Founder Ian “Buck” Rogers began exploring the Niagara Escarpment for the perfect location to create a premier ski area, later named Georgian Peaks Resort. Alongside mentor Ross Wilson, Rogers pursued a vision for a member-driven ski community at a time when the Ontario government showed little interest in public ski area development. Their goal was simple but ambitious: to create a place for those who loved skiing more than profit.

“Members built the Ontario clubs themselves from the ground up... fostering multi-generational family atmospheres bound by shared traditions and life-long friendships.” — Colin Field, Mountain Life

1960 | Open for Business

Georgian Peaks officially opened with four runs, serviced by a T-bar, rope tow, and the region’s first 3,000-foot chairlift. The Club quickly gained attention by hosting international races, including the iconic Bee Hive Giant Slalom. Rogers chose the site for its elevation — 250 feet higher than any other ski area in the region.

1961 | Racing Takes Off

82 days into its first season, Georgian Peaks made history by hosting the first professional Giant Slalom race in Canada. Despite a lack of snow that nearly led to cancellation, the event was a resounding success, drawing more than 9,000 spectators and putting Georgian Peaks firmly on the world ski map.

Fun fact: From 1968 to 1996, there was a Georgian Peaks athlete on the Canadian National Ski Team every year but two — a record unmatched by any other Club in the country.

1964 | A Home at The Peaks

Construction began on the first Clubhouse, designed by architect Bill Grierson under the guidance of Clubhouse Committee Head Jack Owen. The new building officially opened in February 1965 during the Club Championships weekend, becoming the heart of the Georgian Peaks community.

1965 | The Lively Cup Tradition

The Lively Cup began as a friendly inter-cabin race organized by the spirited Bill Lively. On March 9, 1965, Georgian Peaks hosted the first official event — a tradition that continues today as one of the most anticipated and lively celebrations of the season.

1966 | Summer at the Peaks

The Georgian Peaks Summer Club launched, extending the community’s energy beyond winter and offering members new ways to enjoy the Escarpment through the warmer months.

1973 | Innovation Takes Flight

The installation of the Minute Mile Chair marked a milestone in Ontario’s ski history — the first chairlift ever installed by helicopter in the province. Snowmaking was also introduced on the Minute Mile run, reinforcing Georgian Peaks’ reputation for innovation and reliability.

1974 + 1978 | The Social Scene

In 1974, Men’s Day was introduced by Al Empringham and Ron Mutch, creating a new tradition of camaraderie and spirited competition on the slopes.

Just a few years later, in 1978, Ladies Day was launched by Mary Fleming, starting with 70 participants and quickly growing into one of the Club’s most celebrated events. By 1993, attendance reached 300, and today it sells out with 750 women.

Both events continue to embody the essence of Georgian Peaks — connection, community, and the joy of sharing the Club together.

1981–1987 | From Business to Club

The early 1980s brought a period of transition. Blue Mountain Resort purchased Georgian Peaks in 1981, but members soon reclaimed their independence, purchasing the Club and establishing The Georgian Peaks Club as a private, member-owned organization by 1987.

2020 | A New Era Begins

The opening of the new Clubhouse marked a modern chapter in Georgian Peaks history — one that balances tradition with a contemporary vision for the future. That same year, Georgian Peaks was awarded Alpine Canada’s Club of the Year for its exceptional coaching, racing programs, and commitment to world-class events.
