Slush Cup

The weekend peaks with our infamous Slush Cup. Watch daredevils attempt to skim across icy waters (or face a frigid splash). Rock your most outrageous costume for extra shouts.

The Original Carnival Weekend

Snow Bunny Ball

Every year, we host our famous carnival weekend, which was once included in a Warren Miller ski movie. The annual party is a right of passage to spring in northern Michigan and a time when it's time to soak up the sun while enjoying the last of winter.

Carnival's origins go back to the early days of Boyne Mountain Ski Club when a group of skiers hosted the Snow Bunny Ball. It began on Friday night in the Trophy Room with everyone dressed in costumes. The next day, skiers had to wear their costumes on the hill, or they were rounded up and put in "jail" by ski patrol.

Suns Out, Passes Out

Forget everything you knew about spring skiing at Boyne Mountain. We've stockpiled a ridiculous 280+ inches of base on Victor, and we're not stopping until May.

No Couch-Surfing Allowed
