Uplands Ski Centre
Uplands Ski Centre is a small ski area located in Vaughan, in the Thornhill district, just north of Toronto. Operated by Uplands Golf Club, it constitutes a modest ski hill on a 36-hectare property. First opened in 1922, the club was purchased by the City of Vaughan in 1988 and features a ski hill with five runs, two terrain parks and a chair lift.
The hill is part of the valley formation along the East Don River and is one of two ski areas along the Don River.
Beginning with a pilot project in 2009, the City of Vaughan spends $2500 yearly to maintain part of the first hole of the golf course as a tobogganing hill through the winter by clearing obstacles and placing straw bales.
In 2022, Central Counties Tourism announced funding for ski hill upgrades at Uplands as part of a $3.6 million York Region COVID-19 pandemic tourism recovery fund.
