Georgian Peaks Club
Private alpine ski resort on the Niagara Escarpment outside Thornbury, Ontario
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georgian Peaks is a private alpine ski resort located on the Niagara Escarpment just outside Thornbury, Ontario. It has the highest vertical drop of any resort in Ontario, at 820 feet (250 m),[1] enough to allow it to host official FIS-standard slalom and giant slalom races. The hill focuses on more challenging terrain than nearby hills like Blue Mountain, featuring twenty-two named runs served by five chairlifts.[2]
