Boyne Mountain Ski Resort

Comments Off on Boyne Mountain Ski Resort

With 60 downhill runs, Boyne Mountain’s commitment to skiing is every bit as strong as it’s always been.

When snowboarding came along, Boyne was quick to welcome new generations of riders to the slopes – and to make way for seven terrain parks where skiers and snowboarders alike could catch air and push winter’s boundaries.

Add the allure of the nation’s first six-person high-speed chair, 35 kilometers of cross-country trailssnowshoeing, and ice skating, and Boyne Mountain still claims its place as the perfect spot to blow off some winter steam.

As for the other three seasons of the year? Trust us. Life doesn’t slow down here at Boyne Mountain. In fact, our capacity for excitement grows from one year to the next.

The fun just keeps on coming. And that’s exactly the way we like it.
