Boyne Mountain is a year round resort in Northern Michigan (near Boyne City ) and was developed around the skiing industry of the region by Everett Kircher. Boyne Mountain now includes golf, tennis, hiking/biking trails, skiing, snowboarding, tubing, cross country skiing, disc golfing, snowshoeing, the destination Solace Spa, shopping, fine dining, and Michigan's largest indoor waterpark, Avalanche Bay, as well as the recently completed Mountain Grand Lodge. Boyne Mountain is owned and operated by Boyne Resorts, a family owned company that operates ten ski resorts including Big Sky (Montana), and Crystal Mountain (Washington), as well as the closer Boyne Highlands, only 27-miles north of Boyne Mountain. For live camera viewing of the slopes in the winter go to www.BOYNE.com and see amazing shots of the superpipe, views from the Eagle's Nest restaurant at the mountain's summit, or inside the waterpark.
