Looks like the flights both arrive and leave from T1, questions are

* Will we have to clear customs in YYZ or YVR?

* Will we have to collect / recheck bags at YYZ?

* Our connection time is 1 hour 15 minutes - tight or easy?

Obviously with all the ski gear my hope is the bags just go straight through, but would like to know what to expect.

TIA!
Luggage can be painfully slow at YYZ - connecting to the US it took 40minutes for my luggage to come to the US connection area. On the way back into Canada it was a good 30 minutes. Saturday will probably be a bit busier day for customs/immigration as well. You'll probably make your connection but without much in the way of spare time.
