What a line-up we have for our 2008- 2009 Ski season!

Watch for a new trail to help our beginner skiers get from between round-up, pony tail and Chair 5, sniffle stations at our lifts, more ski lockable racks, the addition of inside complimentary locker bunks for guest use, Cross country trail improvements and the makeover of the upper lounge area of the cross country building as well as its cafeteria facilities (more organic food choices), the return of “heart attack” hill to name a view. Our tubing area is hardly recognizable, we are so excited and with the addition of the magic carpet (arriving soon) what an experience this adventure will be for our guests.

Our terrain park is all the buzz right now and is alive in our community, everyone is talking about the expanded Terrain Park and Super Pipe. We have moved our webcam to focus on the construction of the pipe so our guests can see us progress. It is huge, oh my gosh, when you stand at the top of the pipe you can feel the thrill. The super pipe is so big we had to buy a new groomer and grinder

THE SKYLINE ZIPPER!!

The proposed zipline is approximately ½ mile in length and you could travel up too 70k. It still in the design review stage though, who know what might happen, those guys are crazy at horseshoe trying to develop more adventure thrill experiences.

Customer Comments!

Hi Tanya,

 

I can't tell you what a pleasure it was to work with you from start to finish. You delivered above and beyond from beginning to end. I did not expect the careful attention to detail you gave us during rehearsal and on the wedding day. Your encouraging words and assistance walking my very nervous daughters and her entire wedding party down the aisle was simply amazing. Horseshoe resort should be very proud to have you on their team. I would also like to add that ALL the people at the front desk, kitchen staff and serving staff were awesome to work with. If I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate to do it again with you and the staff at Horseshoe. You know you are good at what you do when not only the Father of the bride, the bride & groom notice the great service but the guests comment on how good "that event planner from the resort was"!

 

 

All the Best

Nichola:
I just wanted to send you and email regarding our day on Tuesday July 29.  As I mentioned in the voicemail that I left you returning your follow up phone call, everyone had a great time.  The selections of baked goods and fresh fruit was very nicely presented and the conference room was set up well for what we were doing in the morning.  Everyone enjoyed the lunch and there was an amazing variety of hot dishes as well as generous amounts of each selection.  There was no way anyone was leaving "Silks" hungry before the Tree Top Trekking.

Ah yes, the Tree Top Trekking….
What a great experience that was.  Everyone who participated had something positive to say about it.  It was obvious that a lot of thought went into each challenge/obstacle.

Once again I would like to thank you for making our day such a pleasant one.  We will be back.

Skyline International Buys Horseshoe Valley Resort-Forms Largest Four Season Resort Community in Canada

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 15, 2008) - Skyline International Development Inc., a privately held corporation with extensive commercial, residential, hotel, recreational and media holdings in Ontario and Quebec, today announced completion of the acquisition of Horseshoe Valley Resort, one of Ontario's largest year-round recreation properties. The Ontario resort was purchased by Skyline for $37 million.

"The strategic acquisition when combined with Skyline's existing Port McNicoll project on nearby Georgian Bay will result in the creation of the largest full-service, year-round, master-planned recreational destination in Canada," says Gil Blutrich, Skyline founder and president. An added bonus is the proximity to Toronto - just an hour away.

"The acquisition is a natural fit with the 825-acre, master-planned waterfront community we already have underway in Port McNicoll," he says. "The addition of Horseshoe Valley with its ski hills, trails and pair of world-class golf courses gives us an extraordinary opportunity to offer both Canadians and foreign residents a year-round resort village."

Port McNicoll (www.portmcnicoll.ca) sits on 825 acres fronting 10 km on South Georgian Bay on land that was formerly the home base for CP Rail's Great Lakes shipping operations. Now under development as a master-planned, year-round resort community with 60% of the first phase already sold prior to officially launching the project, it will include a variety of residential housing, a marina, an elegant hotel, restaurants, shops, a private yacht club and more than 400 acres of natural preserved wetlands. Port McNicoll includes four magnificent bays, among them the second largest historic harbour in the province and with its deep water, offers some of Ontario's best boating and fishing.

Horseshoe Valley Resort (www.horseshoeresort.com) includes 688 acres of land, 23 ski runs, 35 kilometres of cross country trails, two established golf courses ranked in the top 50 in Canada, 8,000-square-feet of executive meeting and banquet facilities, a 102-room hotel and spa and related operations. Skyline plans to retain all existing employees and current management, says Mr. Blutrich.

The property also offers future development opportunity for up to 937 new homes as well as retail and commercial space.

"Both communities are no more than 20 minutes drive apart and each compliments the other," adds Ram Dinary, chief executive officer. "Port McNicoll has the splendors of Georgian Bay while Horseshoe the joys of the ski hills in the heart of Ontario's world renowned cottage country."

"There is enormous pent-up demand not just among the residents of Ontario but also among foreign markets for second and even first homes in this area, known globally for its natural beauty and tremendous range of recreational activities," adds Mr. Dinary. "Baby boomers see the benefits of the proximity to both Midland, just 5 minutes away and Barrie, just 10 minutes both of which offer all the services one may need. In addition, the appeal of a full service, four season resort community literally within commuting distance from Toronto is very attractive."

Skyline International Development Inc. has a proven track record in both real estate development and the hospitality industry through previous projects. On the hotel side its holdings and management include Toronto's Pantages Suites Hotel & Spa (www.pantageshotel.com) and the award-winning Cosmopolitan Toronto Hotel & Spa (www.cosmotoronto.com) which is the only hotel in Canada listed in the top 60 hotels in the world by Conde Naste Magazine and was recently recognized by Expedia in the top 1% of hotels in the world.

Skyline is currently planning a new office, hotel and residential tower on one of the last skyscraper sites in a key downtown Toronto location.

Skyline's expertise is spread across four main areas: revenue producing properties, hotels and resorts, development, and asset management ( www.skylineinvestments.com).
