Boyne Mountain – Opening Day – November 15

Repeat after me. In Boyne Low-E fan guns, I do believe. Thanks to the efforts of our snowmaking and grooming crews over the past few day, we are excited to announce that, TOMORROW IS OFFICIALLY OPENING DAY OF THE 2013/14 SEASON! Grab your skis and boards, pick up a few friends, and join us on the slopes for the earliest opening day at Boyne Mountain in over 20 years! Access Victor and Pierson via the Hemlock chairlift from 9am-4:30pm Friday and Saturday. Lift tickets are just $25.

We have added an additional 20 Boyne Low-E fan guns, so our fleet of fan gun snowmakers is now 100% Boyne Low-E fan guns. Also new, a PistenBully 400 winch cat, which will be particularly helpful on steep terrain and great for pushing snow uphill for more consistent conditions. For more on what is new for the upcoming season click here.

Thanks for believing in us because we do it all for you!!!
