A while back (2014 perhaps?) Bishop released the stats on this, and IIRC the average age was somewhere in the 22-25 region.

Yeah that is about correct, though over the last month or two we've been seeing an influx of younger traffic in the 13-17 range.

However yes, its between about 22 and 25 depending on how you measure it.

I'm actually from London, grew up skiing Blue and lived/worked in collingwood for like 5 years right before I moved to MTL to start working at Newschoolers.

Special place in my heart for Ontario.

Why does the media info thing say the average age is in the 40s?

In the media kit link at the bottom. For a long time it said the average age was 45 or something and that 50+% of members were over the age of 40. Changed recently though.

Ah fuck yeah, that was put in place by someone in corporate really quickly... and it had the wrong info in it forever. I had been pressing them to update it and looks like they finally did.
