Let’s hear it for winter!

We’ve all been wondering where winter’s been the last few weeks. It’s like it got lost in Canada somewhere on its way to Boyne Country. But now it’s back on track and looks like it’s ready to stay awhile. And do we have some exciting things planned to celebrate its arrival!

Of course, we have to start with skiing. Our three major ski resorts — Boyne Mountain, Boyne Highlands and Nub’s Nob — have been making snow like crazy. Now that Mother Nature is pitching in, you can still get in a season full of runs. For a real-time look at conditions, visit our website and click on the resorts’ webcams.

On January 20, we’ve scheduled the 42nd Annual Moose Jaw Safari. Join as many as 400 other snowmobilers on a 40-mile round-trip trek on an old northwest Michigan logging trail. Just in case, we suggest you check our website for trail conditions.

January 19 through 21 is when we’ve planned the 7th Annual Bay Harbor Ice Festival. The ice sculptures on display there have to be seen to be believed.


Along with the festival, there will be an “Ice & Spice” chili cook-off on Saturday the 20th. All festivities take place at the Village at Bay Harbor. So when you’re not taking in festival events, you can take advantage of Bay Harbor’s great shopping and dining. For more information call 231-439-2000.

That’s it for now. For more info and lodging help, call us at the Visitors Bureau 800-845-2828. Or visit boynecountry.com. We look forward to seeing you soon.
