Toronto as Whistler

Toronto as Whistler: Toronto’s ravines are celebrated for giving the city deep fissures of mystery running throughout it, but at Earl Bales Park on Bathurst Street a deep ravine — part of the west Don Valley — is also home to the North York Ski Centre, complete with chair lift and rope tow. Though folks in the Rockies might scoff, it’s an impressive slope in a city often thought of as flat. Earl Bales Park was previously the site of York Downs Golf Course and the ghost shapes of tees and greens can still be seen around the park. Toronto’s other ski hill is found in Etobicoke’s Centennial Park on the bucolic slopes of “Garbage Mountain,” a former municipal dumpsite.
