Located in Boyne Falls, Michigan, Boyne Mountain is one of the Midwest’s premier ski destinations, steeped in history and innovation. Opened in 1948 by Everett Kircher, Boyne famously installed the world’s first chairlift—purchased from Sun Valley, Idaho, and transported to Michigan. Today, the resort offers 415 acres of skiable terrain with a 500-foot vertical drop, serviced by an impressive fleet of 12 lifts, including the Midwest’s first eight-passenger chairlift, the Disciples 8.
With 60 named trails, Boyne Mountain provides a rich variety of terrain for all skill levels. Expert skiers will want to test their mettle on the steep pitches of Hemlock and Victor, which offer classic Midwestern plunging runs. Intermediates can enjoy long, rolling groomers off the Alpine chairlift, while beginners have dedicated learning zones near the base. The resort is also home to multiple terrain parks and extensive cross-country skiing trails.
