Park Enhancements
This season, a new Pistenbully ParkPro will be shaping Boyne Highlands Resort’s four terrain parks. The ParkPro is precisely tailored to the needs of park builders in allowing for exceptional experiences for skiers and riders. The resort is also planning a major modification to its halfpipe, the only halfpipe in Michigan and one of just three in the Midwest, which will enable it to open earlier in the season. The MacGully Terrain Park will become the signature park this season. Challenger will offer medium park progression, and Funland will see more features and increased acreage as the smaller, progression park.
Expanded Dining Options
The Country Club of Boyne is offering an exclusive Chef’s Table Dinner Series limited to just 14 guests and featuring a five-course dinner with rotating menus. Priced at $99, including tax/gratuity, the dinners are scheduled for January 6, February 3 and March 3. Guests may also book a private Chef’s Table Dinner Series on additional dates throughout the winter. For reservations, visit boynehighlands.com. The Country Club of Boyne is also offering wine, bourbon/whiskey pairing and snowshoe dinners once per month, plus weekly Thursday night trivia and sushi nights, and brunch each Sunday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
In the food court, a new beer cooler will offer a selection of craft and domestic grab-and-go brews. The popular smoothie station is adding three flavors of yogurts and an expanded ingredient bar and the ramen bar will also offer pasta. Fresh baked goods will fuel guests for a day on the slopes, and a new health-conscious corner will cater to those seeking organic and healthy snacks.
New Ski and Boot Packages in Rental
