    I wouldn’t say a lot, but a decent amount. They are offing a $25 lift ticket to anyone who has a season pass that works in Michigan, and they also have said they want to become Killington of the Midwest

    I agree an 8 person high speed lift seems a little too much. But Boyne Mtn is Boyne’s baby and they tend to go big with upgrades. To be fair it did replace two triple lifts so the up hill capacity it about the same.

    I skied at Boyne Mtn on Saturday April 5th. We drove up in a steady rain for a good 3 hours. By the time the lifts started to spin at 9am the rain had stopped, but the damage to snow was done. The snow was very wet and heavy. But I have to say compared to last year at this time the coverage was...

    Sunday was the last day for Caberfae Peaks. The snow started out very firm hard packed groomed snow. But within and hour or so the sun did its magic and softened the snow to be near perfect spring snow. Also Boyne Mtn was blowing snow on Saturday night into Sunday morning. Hopefully I will...

    Where are you skiing this week?

    Caberfae peaks on Sunday for their final day. It's too bad that people just don't show up once mid March comes. They still have plenty of snow left.

    Why don't ski areas serve Buffalo wings?

    Boyne Mtn in Michigan has some of the best wings I have ever had.

    Boyne Mtn Boyne Falls, MI: 3/11/25

    I had an opportunity to ski mid week and got a great deal on a lift ticket to Boyne Mtn so i used a personal ay and made the almost 4 hour trip north. When I left home the temp was 56 degrees and not a spot of snow on the ground. Around 3 hours into the trip as I got close to Gaylord things...

    The Sand Trap: for Players, Hackers and Duffers

    Got the first round in since December at Dundee Golf Club in Dundee Mi. It was a little wet, but all things considered the course played pretty good.

    Boyne resorts had once again brought back a deal in Michigan if you have any season pass that works at a Michigan ski area you can get a $25 lift ticket. While I normally would have gone to Caberfae Peaks the $25 ticket and around another 30-40 min drive to ski somewhere different would be well...

    On Sunday I wasn’t sure what Caberfae Peaks would be like after a brief warm up and refreeze. Well it was firm in the morning and got real nice with the afternoon sun. You can also see when new trails will take shape in the next few years in the first pic.

    Skied Caberfae Peaks on Saturday and I can say the snow was the best snow I have skied on in a least two seasons. Natural snow along with cold weather and SMI Polecats have made for some really nice packed powder. The parking lot was full, but as always they have two people working every lift...

    Caberfae Peaks 12/27/24

    While I did ski at Mt Brighton on 12/24/24 for a couple of hours to see how thongs went for me, I would call that my preseason and I officially started my season at my home hill Caberfae Peaks. My Daughter and myself left the Ann Arbor area around 5am to make the 3.5hr drive north to...

    Finally got to start my ski season after some medical issues over the summer. Went to Mt Brighton on 12/24/24. There are around 60% open. The snow was firm but you could get an edge in and very low crowds. So it was a good start to the season and the beer was cold.
