The Georgian Peaks Ski Club, near Collingwood, Ont., has a history of producing winners.
Three of its racing alumni were on the slopes at the Beijing Winter Games, with Jack Crawford capturing Olympic bronze in the men’s combined.
But “the Peaks” — one of Canada’s most exclusive private clubs, with an initiation fee of $43,000 — has had much more to celebrate this season, including an unprecedented surge in new members and the opening of a “state of the art” $13-million lodge.
Not to mention $1.37 million in taxpayer-supplied federal COVID relief, which helped propel the club to a $1.54-million budget
