Georgian Peaks is a private alpine ski resort located on the Niagara Escarpment just outside Collingwood, Ontario. It has the highest vertical drop of any resort in Ontario, at 820 feet (250 m), enough to allow it to host official FIS-standard slalom races. The hill focusses on more challenging terrain than nearby hills like Blue Mountain, featuring twenty-two named runs served by four chairlifts.
On August 20, 2009, the Club took a direct hit from an F2 tornado. The damage was substantial, with the roof ripped off the Alpine Center; the Bay Street and Rogers lift lines were derailed, and several residential properties at the base of the Club were destroyed or damaged.
