Skiing in the Beaver Valley has been recorded as early as February 1936 when the Dominion of Canada Skiing Championships attracted 2,000 spectators to the valley. In 1948 the ski site was discovered.
The Davis homestead provided the best prospects for ski terrain and the first tow opened in January 1949. After a decade of financially struggling to operate the hill an interested group of skiers formed a partnership to operate Beaver Valley Resorts Ltd. Under this group the resort flourished to include new trails at Lazy Loop and Roller Coaster . The Weber home farm property which is now the base of the ski club property was acquired, a ski shop and main lodge were erected which created the warm sense of belonging which is hallmark to Beaver Valley Ski Club today. A winter of poor snow put a financial strain on the club with very low skier visits which contributed to the club going private and becoming Beaver Valley Ski Club in 1967. With 79 Charter members and a goal to entice 121 more people to join BVSC the club was born.
Today Beaver Valley is a winter playground, providing members and guests a top quality skiing experience and a variety of other outdoor activities that are fun for the whole family.
BVSC is for active families looking to belong to a relaxed and welcoming club where they can spend quality time together and foster new friendships. The club is known for its great terrain park, signature run Avalanche and its friendly atmosphere.
