History

Facilities for skiing were first established on the mountain in 1969. The mountain was originally opened with T-bars to get to the mountain top. In 1976, Calabogie Peaks opened its first chairlift. Growth at Calabogie Peaks occurred in 1986 when the Murphy family and other investors expanded the hill. The accommodations as well as the lodge were added with the help of Murphy and the investors. The current beach area was originally primarily a wetland but in 1986 a beachfront was added along with a 9-hole golf course to reinvent the business and turn it into a 4-season resort. Construction occurred in the years of 2000 and 2004 to introduce a larger chairlift and the Calabogie Peaks Hotel, a boutique hotel. In 2009-2011, a new snowmaking system was installed and Calabogie Peaks grew rapidly through restructured and redefined mountain trails. Currently, the ownership of Calabogie Peaks is still held within the bloodline of Murphy's family, with Paul Murphy being the current owner.
