Visitors and Groups

Visitors

We’re always delighted to welcome guests to Osler Bluff Ski Club! As a private club, we do ask that all guest visits be arranged in advance by a sponsoring Member.

Making a reservation is easy—Members can book online through the Members’ Section of the website, or stop by the Front Desk in person. (Please note that we aren’t able to accept reservations by phone.)

Once the reservation is confirmed, lift tickets may be purchased either by the sponsoring Member on behalf of their guest or directly by the guest at the Member Guest Services desk, located on the lower level of the Main Clubhouse. For convenience, payment can be made by member charge or credit card.

We look forward to ensuring that every guest enjoys the full Osler Bluff experience and feels right at home on our slopes.

Conveniently located right at the Club, Squire John’s Ski Shop is your go-to destination for all things skiing and snowboarding. Whether you’re in need of the latest equipment, a quick tune-up, or expert advice, their knowledgeable staff are ready to help ensure you have everything you need for a great day on the slopes.

In addition to gear and accessories, Squire John’s also offers rental equipment, including skis and snowshoes, making it easy for members to outfit their guests for a day of winter adventure. To guarantee availability and the correct sizing, we recommend reserving rentals in advance.

With the ease of having a trusted pro shop on-site, members and their guests can spend less time worrying about gear and more time enjoying the mountain.

For rentals or inquiries, please contact Squire John’s directly at 705-445-1361.

Midweek Groups

Looking for a unique way to entertain clients, reward your team, or bring people together? Why not do it on the slopes of Ontario’s premier private ski club. At Osler Bluff, we’ll help you create a memorable day that combines world-class skiing with the warm hospitality of our Club.

Whether you’re envisioning a simple midweek getaway with a few friends or planning an exclusive ski day for your company or business association, our team will work with you to design a specialized experience your guests won’t soon forget. From first tracks on our pristine runs to après-ski gatherings in the clubhouse, every detail is tailored to make your event exceptional.

As a private club, Osler Bluff welcomes all groups and guests by introduction through a Member. This ensures a limited number of skiers and snowboarders each day, guaranteeing shorter lift lines, more room on the slopes, and consistently excellent snow conditions.
