INCLUSIVE AND Friendly

Inclusive and friendly club atmosphere where new members are always welcomed and returning members valued. 

TWO SKI DAYS/WEEK WEDNESDAYS AND some THURSDAYS

Our program starts Wednesday, January 18th and runs for 6 weeks.  We have an optional open day at the end of our regular season, which, if not used for weather make-up days, becomes part of our winter program. Leave work and chores behind. Come out and enjoy the fresh air, and do something good for your mind and body, you will be glad you did. We are one of the only clubs offering Wednesday and some Thursdays, both days at private clubs.  When the public resorts are busy hosting large groups of tourists and schools, we enjoy a more pleasant experience without chaotic crowds.  Locals will be loving the two-day option, as will the drive-ups with group hotel discounts and a weekly restaurant-of-choice for reservations.  You told us you want more social time, and we hear you!

WOMEN & MEN MEMBERS

Our members are men and women of all ages who share the enjoyment of skiing! Come on your own and make new skiing friends, or get some buddies together to share these fun winter days with. We encourage new members to join and experience how much fun Ski Bees can be!

DISCOUNTED LIFT TICKETS - SKI FOR LESS

We buy in bulk at group rates.  By joining SKI BEES you can access private clubs at group rates,  costing you less than buying lift tickets at the most popular Ontario resorts. Our economical $199.00 membership opens the door to a midweek alternative to pricy private club fees.  SKI BEES offers you midweek skiing without the public resort lift lines, better grooming, and better terrain.  What would the lift tickets cost at a private club? It varies from club to club, but they range from $50 - $70 per day (21/22 rates). 

APRÈS SOCIAL ON SEVERAL WEDNESDAYS

After day on the slopes feeling refreshed and invigorated, perhaps by skiing a full run non-stop, carving a solid arc in the snow, increasing your edge angles, making tracks in fresh snow, enjoying the corduroy, or conquering the challenges of deep cut up snow, join us in the lodge at the end of the day, to relax and warm up.  We want to hear about your day. 

DESTINATION SKI TRIPS

Exclusive destination Ski Trips in 2023: Sun Peaks, Sunshine and Lake Louise. On the calendar for 2024 are also a European and American resort.  Our goal is to have one ski trip each to Canada, USA, and Europe once international travel has stabilized.

Also options of spring/summer/fall walking and/or cycling combination trips so one partner can enjoying a hiking experience while the other is enjoying road cycling. How exciting is this?   We are looking at Burgundy France for fall cycling ,  and Switzerland for spring walking/hiking. More information on the Destination Trips page.

Our STAFF

Ski Bees has developed a great program with the most talented, experienced ski professionals available in Ontario.  Skiing with our team gives skiers a feeling of confidence and camaraderie. We have the latest techniques and tips to share with you.  Gone are the days of slow-paced lessons.  Our team of expert pros are astute; while keeping the pace up, you'll ski runs suited to your ability as your lesson moves around the resort finding new terrain to set you up for the best possible experience.  Our staff is hand picked and we feel they are some of the best in Ontario.

SKI BEES is an Intermediate - expert ski club

The private ski clubs we visit offer premium skiing, short turns and cruising, meant for skiers who are comfortable on at least easy blue slopes.  We generally suggest that our members be comfortable on easy blue terrain and be able to safely navigate skiing down from the top of a ski hill such as Blue Mountain, or Mt. St Louis - Moonstone before joining Ski Bees.  Why? It's simply logistics as the learning centres and peripheral green runs are often closed on weekdays at the private clubs.
