The 2019/20 season at Boyne Mountain Resort in Boyne Falls, Mich. brings continued snowmaking investments, scanning technology, the start of the Edelweiss Lodge renovation, Sno-Go bikes, online activity sales, a new app and events, enhanced Cherry Pickers Pass, and new Village store.

On The Slopes
Boyne Mountain consistently offers Michigan’s longest ski season, thanks in large part to its continuous investment in its snowmaking infrastructure.

This season, Boyne Mountain is testing two new HKD Klik snowmaking hydrants as a step towards snowmaking automation. Two snowmaking pumps have been rebuilt for increased snowmaking capability and the resort has replaced 400-feet of snowmaking mainline pipe and added valves on Meadows for increased flexibility.

Also on the slopes, glade skiing has been expanded on Hemlock and Victor, and lift and race houses on Superbowl, Ramshead, and Alpine have received makeovers.

Scanning Comes to Boyne Mountain
Boyne Mountain will begin using scanning technology on six lifts this season: Mountain Express, Meadows, Superbowl, Ramshead, Disciples I, and Alpine. Lift tickets and season passes will be scanned streamlining and securing access to lifts. The use of scanning is the first step toward the resort’s plans to utilize technologies to improve time to lift as well as tailor products and communications based on guest use of the slopes.

Edelweiss Renovation
The on-hill Edelweiss Lodge is undergoing an extensive top-to-bottom renovation beginning in January 2020. The transformation will create a refined mountain lodge with soft, natural elements and textures establishing a sense of modern luxury. The 36-room hotel sits directly on the slopes and is surrounded on all sides by snow making it the most unique and convenient ski-in/ski-out access lodging available at the resort. Adding to its ambience, a fire pit area and hot tub are being added. The Lodge will reopen in December 2020.

Sno-Go Bikes Come to Boyne Mountain
Sno-Go’s apply the familiarity of riding a bike with the fun of sliding on snow. Boyne Mountain is offering 14 bikes for rent and additional bikes for sale through its Boyne Country Sports store this season. Sno-Go’s are the
ultimate all-mountain snow bike, perfect for riding groomed trails, in the parks, and through powder snow. Some restrictions may apply, visit boynemountain.com for full details.
