Boyne Highlands Ski Area
The midwest has lots of skiing, as any local will tell you, and Boyne Highlands might just be the crown jewel of Michigan skiing. It’s the biggest resort, by area, outside of the Upper Peninsula at 435 acres, and with over 500 feet of vert, and 55 named trails, it’s got everything you’d expect from a prestige ski area. And that’s made all the more special by its setting. Boyne towers over flat farmlands, a unique break in the area’s monotonous geography. Many skiers and snowboarders have been launched on their lifelong mountain journeys from Boyne Highlands, and these slopes have played host to many legends of the sport. And Boyne Highlands isn’t just a winter destination, instead, it’s a year-round resort with lodging and activities no matter the season.
This Boyne Highlands ski map, painted by James Niehues in 1998 captures the entirety of this midwestern gem. So if you’ve ever taken a run at Boyne Highlands, or maybe you aspire to get your kids started sliding downhill there, this map is the perfect decoration to declare your love for this great midwestern ski hill.
