We’re celebrating 60 years of winter fun at Boyne Mountain and what better way to celebrate than to hold a fun race on the slope that started it all in Northern Michigan, Hemlock.

If you’re a “hardcore” racer, be forewarned, we will be using only the lower quarter of the face of Hemlock and extending the course into the run-out of the slope. Divisions and prizes will be based on participation. Race is scheduled to begin at noon.
Sorry snowboarders, this is for skiers only but checkout the rail jam to be held at 4pm!
