Skyline has finally renovated the Lodges at Horseshoe and has renamed them the Slopeside Condos. They appear to be marketed as a condo hotel with up to three weeks personal use per year. Prices are $446,028 to $536,174.

Sneaky real estate developers and their lackeys can steal the property of long-established Canadian timeshare owners and re-sell for millions. The rich continue to get richer. O Canada!

Every time we drive past there (we live 10 mins away) I feel so sorry for the original timeshare owners. They sure got a bum deal. The prices of the new condos are crazy! We stayed in a timeshare unit there in 1985, many years before we thought of moving up to the area. We are not skiers but enjoyed watching people zoom down the hill, and some being loaded into ambulances at the bottom! Skyline seems to be trying to turn the Horseshoe area into a "mini Whistler" or something. Our oldest 2 grandchildren do love the Adventure Park there, and that is the only reason we visit the property now.

We used to live within a short bike ride of Horseshoe Valley resort, and frankly those prices are completely outrageous. A couple of weekends ago we took our bikes to ride the nature trail at Friday Harbour Resort on the south side of Kempenfelt bay off lake Simcoe. It's a new all seasons resort under development. Nice facilities, but condo's ranging up to $2 million. Ridiculous! Both developments are clearly being marketed to Toronto residents cashing out of a very expensive residential market, and retiring up north in lake country.

We were just down at Horseshoe today (taking the 2 oldest GK's Tree Top Trekking) and noticed a lot of very expensive cars in the parking lot of the condos. Even our 14yo DGS commented that there was a lot of people with a lot of fancy cars living there. We thought the prices on those condos were crazy expensive until we saw the pricing at Friday Harbour -Wow! That development is on our list of days outings when we are bored, maybe we'll take our bikes!

Diane...a heads up on the FH recreational trail. I think if you take all loops you have a 7/8 km trail, but it's a twisting mountain bike trail. The route is fairly flat, but as it has been newly carved out of the bush, the cinder bed is still soft in parts. We found it slow going on our hybrid bikes with road tires. It is a pretty track, and nicely laid out, but I don't think we'll return.
