Chicopee Ski Club is a ski club in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada, founded in 1934 as a not-for-profit organization providing winter recreation on 165 acres (0.67 km2). The club is located on land owned by the Grand River Conservation Authority.

The Chicopee ski hill has a maximum vertical drop of 200 ft (61 m) and was created by retreating glaciers approximately 12,000 years ago. There is an average annual snowfall of 159.5 cm (62.8 in). Winter sports include alpine skiing, snowboarding and a tubing park. In addition to winter sports, Chicopee has expanded its summer operations to include a variety of outdoor recreation activities. Its tennis club has been operating for many years; as well as its volleyball courts that enjoy extensive league play. A recent BMX course and the PINES Bridge Park were installed in 2008 to accompany mountain bike trails for use during the summer months. Chicopee offers extensive camp programs, and also caters to corporate groups with teambuilding programming on its high and low ropes courses and a 30' climbing wall. In May 2009 Chicopee opened an 18-hole Disc Golf course.
