Welcome Muskoka Ski Club - to the - Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area

Welcome
     to the
Muskoka Ski Club

Traditions begin with history
The Muskoka Ski Club was established in 1971
as Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Club. The name
was changed in 2008 to utilize the recognition
factor of the world‐famous Muskoka name. The
members of the club purchased the Hidden
Valley Highlands Ski Area in 1971, making it
one of Ontario’s oldest and most established
ski areas.

Included in the 120 Acres of property are 35 established acres of downhill skiing and
snowboarding trails & 650 feet of beach frontage on beautiful Peninsula Lake. As part of your
Membership you have access to the beach property for your summer‐time enjoyment.

Situated in the world‐renowned vacation area of Muskoka, close to the town of Huntsville, the
Hidden Valley Highlands Ski Area offers 12 groomed trails ranging from our Beginner Hill to the
black diamond run called The Face. There are trails suitable for all ages and abilities. Over the
past 3 decades the infrastructure has been maintained and upgraded to ensure a long and safe
season.

The Ski Area boasts 3 quad chairlifts, 1 handle tow, 2 snow cats, night skiing & snowboarding and
a competition class Terrain Park. 100% of the resort’s slopes are covered with snowmaking that
                                                          utilizes some of the latest technologies in
                                                          the industry.

                                                          The resort boasts one of the longest

Testimonials
     “We are so excited that we
decided to join the Muskoka Ski
Club. During the past three
years my son has progressed his
skiing ability beyond what I ever
anticipated a six‐year‐old could
do. As an adult skier I have
benefited from the strong, skilled
coaches that offer sessions to
take my skiing to the next level.
We have gained new friends and
enjoy our beautiful Muskoka winters at the hill. The Community that
we belong to at the Club is safe and warm environment. I look
forward to many more winters here."
                               ‐‐ Angie Scott, 1st generation Member

                                           "As a kid I spent virtually
                                    every weekend in the winter at the
                                    ski hill as a part of the racing
                                    program. Through that program I
                                    made many lifelong friends that I
                                    otherwise would never have met. As
                                    we grew older, spending time at the
                                    hill became as much about
                                    socializing, catching up with old
                                    friends, and making new ones as
                                    about skiing. To me, being able to
join the club was a no brainer, especially since my wife Elizabeth has
learned to ski there and become a part of our social group. Programs
like Friday night racing and snowshoe adventures have only helped to
keep things fun and engaging."

                             ‐‐Kyle Litchfield, 3rd generation Member

“My Family joined the Muskoka Ski Club when I still quite
young. I joined the (then) Nancy Greene team and made many friends
and had a great time. Every weekend was spent at the hill,
something we all looked forward to during the week. I joined as a
Heritage Member in 2014 along with my two brothers. Now all of our
Families meet at the hill every weekend for family fun time. My
children have joined the ski team and so the tradition continues.
Driving into the parking lot feels like coming home.”

                              ‐‐Kim Gronfors, 2nd generation

     "I joined the hill because of the great family experience I had as
a kid growing up every weekend at the ski hill. I want my kids to have
the same experience I had."
