NTSC aims to offer as many day trips as possible given snow conditions on the hills and trails; while we always hope we can start our Ontario season in December - most years our infamous "First Tracks" season kick-off happens the first Saturday in January. First Tracks kicks off our regular season of day trips and lessons, which includes our full regular offering of unlimited morning lessons for all club members along with our renowned All-Day Beginner Program or "Never-Ever" program. If you've always wanted to ski or board but have never tried, our "Never-Ever" program is ideal for you. Offered exclusively during the first 4 - 6 weeks of the season, the Never-Ever program provides full day lessons to ensure every club member is comfortable with the basic skills they need to start enjoying some green runs and to advance to morning lessons with friends. After a full season of fun lessons, we cap off the season with Race Day! A long standing club tradition and favourite day, Race Day is all about FUN, and gives everyone a chance to celebrate their season - this is a day not to be missed!
Guests are welcome too! Guests MUST be 19+ years of age. The guest fee is $35. Guests are welcome to join in the NTSC lessons, however please note that lessons CANNOT be provided to guests who drive up. Registration of a guest must to be done by a member via our online system. A guest can take only 2 day trips with the club over a season. |
Why take a day trip?Bus fun! Don't have a car, don't worry! Have a car, leave it at home and leave the driving to us! We will get you to and from the hill in comfort on a luxury coach bus where you can catch up with friends and meet new people. Want to catch some "zzz" on the bus, that is okay too. Morning lessons! Most day trips include a 2 hour lesson from one of the top ski schools in Ontario! Whether you are new to the sport, looking for new friends that ski/board at the same level as you or you are looking for some pointers before your big trip out West, you won't want to miss out on what our Ski School has to offer. Spend the day on the hill with friends, share what you learned in your lesson over lunch at the Chalet, unwind with a little "Apres" before heading home! |
Where do we go?On the weekends, our Alpine Day Trips alternate between Blue Moutain in Collingwood and Mount St. Louis Moonstone near Barrie...Ontario's two largest hills. Each offers a great selection of beginner, intermediate and advanced hills; with parks for some added challenge and fun. On Wednesdays, book the day off and join us as we visit a selection of Ontario's best private ski hills such as Osler, Alpine and Craigleith. These clubs offer varried terrain, beautiful club houses, and short lift lines - all the things that make a day on the slops memorable. On Mondays we will be going back to Blue Mountain so you can practice what you learned. |
