We ski and snowboard at destinations within a 2-3-hour drive from Toronto. All offer a full range of facilities, rentals and a cafeteria for lunch and drinks. To learn more about where we go, click here.
Our daytrips are for both skiers and snowboarders, as you can do both sports at all the resorts we visit. There are many members who enjoy both throughout the season and for those who want to try out a different sport, we offer cross over days too.
The cost of a trip depends on where and when we go, as each resort sets their own lift pass costs. The cost of the coach remains constant so this is why you'll see a difference. To see a cost comparison between traveling with us or going on your own, visit our Downhill Day Trips page.
Daytrips will be posted on the website on a rolling basis, the trip will open for registration 2 weeks before the trip. You can register for the trip once is is posted on the Downhill Registration Page.

To make it easier to find these locations, we've created a map to show you exactly where to wait for the bus.
Departure times depend on the day, the hill and the number of buses leaving. For 2020/2021, there will only be one bus per trip.

Check out our handy guide to see how a High Park Ski Club day trip unfolds.
If at the end of the trip, you accidentally leave something on the bus, don't worry. You can contact Pacific Western's Lost and Found, by email at dispatch@toronto.pwt.ca or call 1-800-387-6787 ext 220. You will need to reference HPSC and the day and destination you traveled to when you lost your item(s).
If you can’t make the trip you’ve booked, you can cancel by sending us an email. Please read over the Downhill Cancellation Policy which provides the details, rules and process for doing so.
For 2020/2021, we will have no walk-ons for the bus or lessons. Members who are not registered will be turned away. This is due to strict guidelines the club is following for COVID and the limited lift tickets available at each hill.
There’s no need for expensive, fancy ski clothes your first time skiing/boarding. Raid your closet first and when you fall in love with skiing or boarding, you can upgrade your wardrobe. Here’s a handy list to get you started.
Bring a mask! (or a few). You will be required to wear a mask on the bus, in the lodges, in lift lines and on the ski lift. We also strongly recommend keeping your mask on while skiing/boarding.
Base-layer This is the layer worn next to your skin and keeps you warm, dry and comfortable.
Middle Layer This middle or “insulating” layer is to keep heat in and cold out.
Exterior Layer The exterior or “protection” layer protects you from the elements and should repel water and block the wind.
Socks We recommend one purchase: A good pair of ski socks that can cost around $30. Ski socks will wick away sweat and are made to minimize rubbing so you don’t get blisters. There is no cotton in ski socks. They are usually a blend of synthetic materials and wool.
Important tip: do not double-up on socks. Not only could it limit circulation to your feet (making your feet colder), but it may cause your socks to bunch up and cause blisters.
