Calabogie is less than an hour from Ontario's capital city of Ottawa and boasts a 760-foot vertical drop. The Ottawa Citizen recently rated it as one of the top five places to ski and ride within a three-hour drive. Other resorts listed in the article included Tremblant, Mont Sutton, and Mont Ste. Marie in Canada, and Whiteface Mountain in New York.
