The Destination was originally founded as Destination Ski Rentals Ltd. A place where you could go to get ski gear for any mountain so you could cut out the lineups. Fortunately at that time Colleen worked at The Keg for real cash (a waiter named Keith provided us with the first artwork on a napkin), which was a good thing, as Paul went immediately into debt. The idea of providing services with the rentals - things like custom boot fitting and waxed skis was revolutionary. So was the concept of taking home a set of gear for your kids that you could size exchange whenever you wanted, with no new costs.

In 1941, a young Toronto osteopath named Dr. Douglas Firth was asked by the Canadian Amateur Ski Association to organize and train a first aid and rescue group to patrol the ski hills. He had already spent a few seasons in the 1930s hauling injured skiers from the trails of the Toronto Ski Club, so, wherever there was skiing, he mobilized people to provide rescue service to injured skiers - thus forming the Canadian Ski Patrol (CSP).
